Mr. Mac lived in a tree and served as the "Commissioner of the Bureau of Elves, Leprechauns and Little People" in the "Department of Utter Confusion." Popeye cartoons were interspersed with comedy sketches featuring Mr. Mac and his upstairs neighbor, Clyde Moose. The program won a regional Emmy award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Lower Great Lakes Chapter in 1971.
