Matty's Funday Funnies

Here is a promo from around 1960 for Matty's Funday Funnies, which aired late Sunday afternoons on ABC.





This show, which was sponsored by Mattel Toys, featured post-1950 Famous/Paramount (sans Popeye) cartoons with Casper the Friendly Ghost, Baby Huey, Little Audrey, Buzzy the Crow, and Herman and Katnip, would be reformulated by 1962 as they old Paramount ("Harveytoon") cartoons were replaced by the animated cartoons of Bob Clampett's Beany and Cecil. The show, for a time entitled Matty's Funnies With Beany And Cevil, soon afterward, would be renamed Beany and Cecil.
