Cartoons From The Movies To T.v.

[Guest Kelly Ann]

Weeell...there's some lists of favorite Sci-Fi books/authors and movies floating lately. How about cartoons? My all-time favorite is Jay North's The Bullwinkle Show...I am sooo laughing...comedy almost too adult for children, and yet adults didn't seem to 'get it' at the time. To me nothing even comes close...it was like The Ed Sullivan Show of cartoons because it had a little bit of everything. I would like to see a special channel on TV showing nothing but The Bullwinkle Show 24/7...I might never get anything done ever again though, so maybe just the 12 hours of Prime-Time and split the rest up with...hmmmmm...thinking, Kelly Ann

[Sally]

The original 17 episodees of "George of the Jungle". A perfect match for "The Bullwinkle Show", loaded with puns and references to great litterature and older themes. (Remember the villinous Dr. Chicago?) It even had "Tom Slick" and "Super Chicken"! "If I had any super vision would I be flying around in the Super Coup with you, Fred?"

Bakka, bakka, bakka, bakka, bakka, bakka, bakka, bakka, begack!

And then there was "Transformers", what a disappointment it wasn't about the transgender Community at all, just a bunch of cars and robots!

ZZzzzZZZRRRrrRRRrAAAAARRrrrrRTTTttTT...beep beep beep...alert...alert...MAJOR correction...Jay North was Dennis THE Menace, "Hey Mr. Wilson." a past incarnation of mine...when last I left my hero's...the plucky squirrel Rocky and the ever challenged Bullwinkle they were the creation of Jay WARD...sorry for the slightly senior moment...setting the record straight...now THAT IS amusing...a very bemused, Kelly Ann

[Guest Kelly Ann]

Sorry Sally...George of the Jungle WAS great...why can't I find a drummer like that, the one I know drools out of one side of his mouth...WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!!! Kelly Ann

[Sally]

You just need to level the stage and he will then drool out of both sides of his mouth.

I read the Jay North as Jay Ward becasue I knew that he even did the voice for Bullwinkle - they couldn't find anybody better! Jane Fourney eas the female version of Mel Blanc doing hundreds of cartoon voices, but Rocket J. Squirrel was by far her best known. Jay ward wasn't at all egotistical - when I was very young it took me a while to difure out why moose and squirrel had the same middle initial - J - for Jay Ward.

I just loved the fact that the vilian was almost named after a famous opera Boris Badenoff was a great twist.

So much more for adults, but I was precotious and got most of it, by the time I was twelve I had seen them enough times to catch almost all of the hiden material.

Watch "The Simpsons" and pay no attention at all to the main drawings - watch the backgrounds for really strange signs and things going on - in the early days there waas aton of hiden content.

I especially like when Bleeding Gums Murohy sang the National Anthem at an Isotopes game - watch the clock, the moon rise and everyone except Lisa fade slowly. I think of that when ever they introduce someone to sing it before a ball game - what are they going to do to butcher it this time!

Love ya,

OMG ..why am I doing this???

Oh well...'fess up

Rocky and Bullwinkle were my favorites, too.....

When Fearless Leader would send out Boris and Natasha and Boris would say "Moose and Squirrel"

in that AWESOME accent..OHhhhh I would just faint! Now THAT was entertainment! and 'Fractured Fairy Tales" ..Oh how cool that was!

Oh, and Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman...using the "Way Back machine" to go back in time on their adventures.....

It was really a cartoon meant more for adults..most of the snarks would go right by kids!

OH oh oh oh oh

and and and..Dudly DoRight of the Mounties! That really SUPER red uniform and his gal Nel....

Ohhhhh and the ever evil Snidely Whiplash always putting Nel on the railroad tracks...I CAN'T STAND IT!!!! IT MISS IT SO MUCH!!

Ooooh I loved "Fractured Fairly Tales."

But my favorites hadda be UnderDog and Kimba.

[Guest mia 1]

Rocky and Bulwinkle to sound sooooooo original. But who was Rags the Tiger and Snagelpus ,,,,,,,,,,Exit......stage right. And who said" I hate those meeses to pieces?" But there waas one cartoon taht I saw when I was real young,

It was the dark and gloomy trolls against the people who worshipped sunshine.

The happy people would deliver sunshine to the villagers in a milk bottle. One day the trolls declared war on the sunshine people and the sunshine people used catapults and cannons to fire the sunshine milk bottles on the trolls.

To make a long story short, when the trolls got whacked with the sunshine they turned into happy people.

At the end the now all happy people sang and danced in a circle singing, "Sunshine,sunshine."etc.etc.etc.

I was probably seven whenI saw that cartoon, and never forgot it.

Did any one ever see that?

[Sally]

"Not bird or plane or even frog, It's just little ole me, he-he, Underdog." What a great superhero line.

But Super Chicken had in is theme song - "When you find yourself in danger or are threatend by stranger and it looks like you will take a lickin', ifthere's no one else to turn to call for Super Chicken!"what other super hero tells you in their theme song that this may not turn out so well and also warns his trusty sidekick, "Fred if you're afraid you'll have to over look it, besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it." Finish it out! "He will drink his Super Sauce and throw the bad guys for a loss and always bring them in alive and kickin', so call for Super Chicken!"

Yeaahhh!

How can you mention Dudley Do Right of the RCMP with out mentioning his faithful steed - Horse! And Neil's Father Inspector Fenwick?

In the first Johhny Quest series, did anybody else think that Race Bannon was cute?

I need to get a life!

Love ya,

At that point in my life I identified with the "Real Nowhere Man, sitting in his nowhere land, singing all his nowhere songs for nobody."

A tip of the non-existant hat to the Fab Four!

That reminded me of the whole AL Baraddox stuudios they did "The Beatles" cartoons and 'Cool McCool" a great "Get Smart" take off. Being a Texan I remember an episode where he used some very bad tortillas as "throwing tortillas" and brought down the bad guys. (he pronounced both 'L's rather than the Spanish 'Y' -Don't make up your own Spanish Y jokes!)

Get your minds out of the gutter and be sure to wash them before you eat.

Love ya,
