Hosted a "Popeye the Sailor Man" cartoon show on KTLA 5 in Los Angeles,
from the 1950s through the early 1980s. He prefaced each cartoon with
some trivia, and read mail sent to him by children who watched the
show. Moreover, from the 70s through the mid-1990s, Hatten hosted a
"Family Film Festival" (also on KTLA 5) where he prefaced various
movies with trivia and occasional interviews with cast/crew members
from that picture. Early in its run, "Family Film Festival" used as
instrumental theme music the Little River Band's hit "Reminiscing."
Hatten acknowledges that said song was used without permission from the
group, as copyright-laws back then were relatively meager.
