Time For A Visit With Yogi

Here is a Yogi Bear cartoon, from Hanna-Barbera Productions, entitled "Papa Yogi." This first aired in 1959 as a segment on the syndicated Huckleberry Hound Show. Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera produced and directed this cartoon









Yogi did not get his own show until 1961.

Rats!


Longtime animation veteran Bill Melendez, best remembered for his work directing and animating numerous television specials with Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters (A Charlie Brown Christmas, It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, et al), as well as a number of theatrical animated feature films with Charlie Brown, Snoopy and company, passed away on Tuesday at Santa Monica, California at age 91. Mr. Melendez, who in earliers times worked for Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, and UPA, also did the voices of Snoopy and Woodstock in the Peanuts specials.



Bill earned eight Emmy Awards and 17 Emmy nominations. For many years, he sported a handlebar mustache.

Goodbye, Kids!

Here are excerpts from the final episode of the old Howdy Doody show, episode #2343, which aired on September 24, 1960, including the show intro (including the original NBC Peacock), the mid-show network ID, the final segment which included Clarabell's first word, the final credits, and even a promo for the program that replaced Buffalo Bob, Howdy, and the gang from Doodyville, the Shari Lewis Show.


Say, Kids, What Time Is It?

Time for fun and bloopers on the old Howdy Doody Show with Buffalo Bob Smith.

Another One From The Ole Television File

Here is the intro to a cartoon series entitled The Super 6, produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises in 1966.





The series aired on NBC on Saturday mornings from 1966-69. The last two seasons saw only reruns. This was during the era of animated superheroes on network television. We've even got the old NBC Peacock to open things up. Enjoy.

And Now, A Word From Our Sponsor

This is a commercial for Blatz Beer , a Milwaukee brewery that sponsored televised Roller Derby contests in the early years of television.




The company also was a sponsor of the TV version of Amos 'n Andy.

Aussie Rules Explained

Here is a brief, but thurough explaination of the rules of Australian Rules Football.






I decided to add something educational for all the little kids who may be watching.

Rock 'N Roll, The Lawrence Welk Way....

As practiced by Buddy Merrill on this clip from a 1956 telecast of the Lawrence Welk Show. On this clip, Buddy sings and plays "Rock 'N Roll Ruby," a song written by Johnny Cash.




The song, I think, was originally recorded in Memphis by one of Johnny's Sun Records colleagues, Warren Smith.

How 'Bout A Local Commercial?

Here are some commercials for the 1950 Studebaker from the Studebaker dealers of Los Angeles County.



This aired on the locally-telecast Buster Keaton Show. 320,884 of these cars were built for the 1950 model year, and I'll tell you, that is one certainly unique body style.

For 1951, Studebaker somewhat toned down the bullet nose and added chrome to the front of the car (they also added an overhead valve V-8 engine to their Commanders and Land Cruisers as well).

They planned to keep the bullet nose for 1952, but wartime restrictions (this was during the Korea War) put the kibosh on that.

Here's Something You Don't See On TV Anymore

Here's another Pabst Blue Ribbon commercial, aired between rounds 3 and 4 of a 1950 CBS Wednesday night boxing telecast.



Pabst sponsored the Wednesday night fights when they aired on CBS from 1950 until 1955.

And Now, Here's A Word From Folks In Milwaukee Who Brewed Adult Beverages For A Living

Here's a commercial for Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer from circa 1958:


And Now, A Word From Our Sponsor

Here's a 1950s commercial for BeechNut Gum. It probably aired on ABC.

Can You Say "Broadway Brett" Boys and Girls?

In case you must know, the Green Bay Packers, in a midnight deal Wednesday night, traded retired-turned-unretired quarterback Brett Favre to the New York Jets.

Now Here's Something Different

Here is the opening title for a Saturday morning cartoon show that aired on NBC from 1969 to 1971. DePatie-Freleng Enterprises (which produced the Pink Panther cartoons) produced this show. I have some vague memories of this series.

Joe Feeney, R.I.P.




It was reported by family members that former long-time regular on The Lawrence Welk Show, Nebraska-born Irish tenor Joe Feeney passed away this past Wednesday at age 76.

Joe was a regular on the Welk show from 1957 until 1982, when Lawrence pulled the plug on the show. The top vidcap was from September 5, 1959, the middle vidcap was from February 22, 1964, and the one in color, with pianist Frank Scott, was from the October 23, 1965 show.

My mom always enjoyed listening to Joe singing on the Welk show.

Maybe I Should Think...............

Before buying any more Lonely Planet books.

Thomas Kohnstamm also claims in a new book that he accepted free travel, in contravention of the company's policy.

His revelations have rocked the travel publisher, which sells more than six million guides a year.

Mr Kohnstamm, whose book is titled Do Travel Writers Go To Hell?, said yesterday that he had worked on more than a dozen books for Lonely Planet, including its titles on Brazil, Colombia, the Caribbean, Venezuela, Chile and South America.

In one case, he said he had not even visited the country he wrote about.

"They didn't pay me enough to go Colombia,'' he said.

"I wrote the book in San Francisco. I got the information from a chick I was dating - an intern in the Colombian Consulate.

"They don't pay enough for what they expect the authors to do.''



Maybe this author should win the Janet Cooke book award, if you know what I mean.

It's Cartoon Time Again, Boys and Girls

Here is a Castle Films home movie print of a 1934 Terrytoon that was entitled "My Lady's Garden" when it was originally released theatrically. For the home market, it was renamed "The Bee and The Butterfly."

Produced and directed by Frank Moser and Paul Terry

Music by Philip A. Scheib


Produced at New Rochelle, New York by Moser and Terry for Educational Pictures and perhaps released theatrically by Fox Film Corporation.



This cartoon was another in a long line of cartoons at that studio with the dialog being sung in operetta fashion.

They did this during the decade with characters such as Strongheart, Fanny Zilch, and Silk Hat Harry.

This format reached its zenith in the late 1940s and early 1950s with Mighty Mouse, Pearl Pureheart, and Oil Can Harry.

Super Mario Helps Land NCAA Title For Jayhawks


At San Antonio:


Mario Chalmers' three-point basket in the final seconds (pictured here), coupled with Memphis' free-throw problems, enabled the Kansas Jayhawks to force overtime, where they outscored the Tigers 12-5, enabling them to capture their first NCAA men's basketball championship in 20 years, 75-68.

Time For A Visit From Gandy Goose and Sourpuss

Here's a 1949 Terrytoon, "Comic Book Land," starring Sourpuss and Gandy Goose, with a cameo appearance by Mighty Mouse.

This film has the original credits.


Kansas vs. Memphis: Anyone Looking Forward?

As you folks may already know, the Kansas Jayhawks will take on the Memphis Tigers for the NCAA Division I men's national basketball championship tonight at the Alamodome in San Antonio.


Anyone excited?

I actually had Oregon over Portland State on my bracket. North Carolina was the only final four pick on my bracket to make it to San Antonio before the Jayhawks beat 'em.

That's A Big Crowd


A reported crowd of 115,300, the largest ever to watch a baseball game, showed up last night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to watch the Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 in an exhibition game. This is part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Dodgers' first year in Los Angeles.

The Coliseum was their home from 1958 to 1961, before they moved to their permanent home at Chevez Revine (Dodger Stadium) in 1962.

The commercials for Marx Toys were usually narrated by Claude Kirschner, who was the original ringmaster on the old ABC TV show Super Circus (1948-56), which originated from Chicago. By the end of 1955, the show was moved to New York, and the entire cast, including Mr. Kirschner and the show's beloved buxom blonde, Mary Hartline, were replaced, with Jerry Colonna becoming the new ringmaster. The show went off the air in 1956.

Claude narrated many a Marx Toys commercial.

Which College Cable Sports Network Is Best?




Anyone with a preference between ESPNU, CBS College Sports Network, and Fox College Sports?

Laurie's Gone


According to a report that came out late Saturday on TV Newser, veteran anchorwoman Laurie Dhue has left Fox News Channel. It appears that Laurie and the network failed to come to terms on a new contract. The University of North Carolina graduate had been with FNC for 7 1/2 years and will be sorely missed.


UPDATE: Laurie's biography has been removed from the Fox News web site.

CBS College Sports Network



I know that not that many households get the CBS College Sports Network (which formally changed its name yesterday from CSTV), but has anyone out there had the opportunity to watch the network? It certainly looks and feels more like a CBS network than it had during the CSTV days.

Hopefully, we'll be able to see Uma again real soon.

With David Asman now at Fox Business Network, I wonder is America's Sweetheart took over his job as head of the documentary unit.

WTF?!?! Uma Demoted Again?!

Apparently America's Sweetheart, Uma Pemmaraju, has been replaced on the Sunday morning (7-9 AM Pacific Time) editions of Fox News Live by Jamie Colby.

I can't believe that some retard----uh, executive---at FNC would give so much time to a former hostess for a poker telecast, who had post in swimwear for a men's magazine.

Both developments SUCK!

Could it be that she has landed a regular hosting assignment? Let's all hope so. UMAniacs from all over have waited for four years since Uma's return for this talented veteran to have her own show. Speaking of shows, it has been reported on one or more Yahoo groups that she's been working on some upcoming special programming slated to air over the next few months on FNC.

The First Amendment Lost Thursday

Let me begin by writing that what Don Imus said last week on his syndicated radio show, simulcast of MSNBC, concerning the Rutgers women's basketball team, was absolutely stupid and obnoxious. Nevertheless, with the cancellation this past Thursday by CBS Radio of Mr. Imus' radio show, the day after MSNBC pulled the plug on its' I-Man simulcasts, with both versions being hit by advertiser defections, there seems to be a new chill in the air as far as what you can say over the airwaves are concerned. Meanwhile, you still have garbage eminating from crap---uh----Rap "Music Artists" whom I will not mention here that are violent and degrading that is still being allowed on the air, far worse than the brain-dead and inaccurate descriptions Don said on his now-defunct radio show about the Rutgers women's basketball team.

The Center Chair On "Fox & Friends:" For Blondes Only?

Is it me, or has Fox News mandated that only blonde females sit in the center chair on the various editions of Fox & Friends? Today, Page Hopkins was in the center chair (sitting in for Gretchen Carlson, who is off all week). This past weekend, Ainsley Earhardt, a newcomer from KENS-TV in San Antonio ( who usually does overnight news updates Friday night/Saturday morning to Sunday night/Monday morning) , sat in the center chair. The previous two weekends, Courtney Friel sat in the center chair (except for Sunday of last week, when Page Hopkins did the honors). Is there a policy at Fox News that mandates thet only blondes sit in the center chair during the airing of Fox & Friends?

Nothing To Write Home About (Except For Uma)



Courtney Friel's weekend at the center chair on Fox & Friends Weekend (in between Greg Kelly and Kelly Wright) was not really anything to write home about. Then again, what else could you say about someone who posed in Maxim magazine and had hosted TV coverage of poker tournaments. Just about the only real highlights of the weekend were provided by proven and experienced professional Uma Pemmaraju (pictured here, by herself, and with the F&FW trio) on Sunday with her headline updates, before she began hosting 90 minutes of Fox News Live.

One extra note: Upon being recruited for Fox & Friends Weekend, Courtney Friel (apparently at FNC's behest) removed the swimwear pictures from her website.

Saturday, February 17, 2007

This Is A News Network?

Today marked the debut of one-time Maxim model Courtney Friel in the center chair on the weekend edition of Fox & Friends. I really did not bother to watch the show today. I was hoping after Kiran Chetry got the boot from Fox News that they would send a talented professional to fill the center chair at least until Alisyn Camerota returned from maternity leave. While it is true that this newcomer has a BA in political science and broadcast journalism and had worked at stations in Palm Springs and San Diego and at Court TV, I do not recall seeing swimwear pics of Jane Skinner, Laurie Dhue, or the departed Donna Fiducia on their web sites, though in the newcomer's case, her swimwear pics were taken down from her website yesterday, probably at FNC's behest. What highlights there may be on tomorrow's telecast would likely come from Uma Pemmaraju's news updates (substituting for Page Hopkins) . Now here's someone who should be seating at the center chair (the same might be said for Jane Skinner, Laurie Dhue, Lauren Green, Patti
Ann Browne, Molly Henneberg, you name it) . Uma's a true professional, who is scheduled to host Fox News Live with Eric Shawn during the 7-9AM Pacific Time period tomorrow morning.

Friday, February 16, 2007

Good News For Uma's Fans


According to the Fox News website, Uma Pemmaraju is scheduled to host Fox News Live this coming Sunday, starting at 7:00 AM Pacific Live. She'll likely host the first half-hour solo, then co-pilot the next 60 minutes with Eric Shawn.

Here's a chance to see a talented professional like Uma at work.

Thursday, February 15, 2007

No Sad Loss

Looks like we have seen the last of Kiran Chetry on the Fox News Channel. Negotiations between Fox News and the erstwhile female headliner of the weekend version of Fox & Friends (as well as being a regular on Fox & Friends 1st , according to a report on Mediabistro's TV Newser web site had broken down.

Here is a PDF file of the letter from Fox News Legal and Business Affairs vice-president Dianne Brandi.

Maybe the FNC Brian Trust should consider putting Uma Pemmaraju in the center chair. If not Uma, how 'bout bringing back Donna Fiducia?


UPDATE: Kiran Chetry has jumped to CNN. She was filling in Friday morining for Soledad O'Brien on American Morning.

UPDATE #2: She has now officially joined CNN.

REPLACEMENT: Fox News has hired Courtney Friel, who has been with Court TV, local stations in San Diego and Palm Springs, and has a BA in Political Science and Broadcast Journalism.



She's also modeled in Maxim magazine.


She's filling the center chair this weekend on Fox & Friends.


That's right, sports fans. A one-time model in a men's magazine becoming, at least for the weekend, one of the hosts of FNC's morning program.


Are they nuts?

Apparently, the Brain Trust of FNC could not find swimsuit pics in men's magazines of Lauren Green, Molly Henneberg, Brigitte Quinn, Alisyn Camerota, Uma Pemmaraju, or Laurie Dhue.

E.D. Hill is moving from 7AM to 8AM.

Is Uma On Her Way Out?


What Fox News has done in recent months with Uma Pemmaraju is nothing short of scandalous, and this is an outrage and a disgrace. Why won't they let this talented journalist host ANY programming on FNC? Is she currently working there without a contract---or has she been notified that her contract isn't being renewed? It seems that Uma is now being treated at Fox News as if she were a parasite. It appears that the Fox News Brain Trust is willing to win at all costs---even to the career detriment of some of its' on-air talent, such as Uma. Could Uma soon be going the way (evidently) of Carol Iovanna and Donna Fiducia?
