[00:00:23] Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, our friends.

[00:00:29] Big big star on his chest.

[00:00:53] Ducky bear is smarter than the average bear. Ducky bear is always in the...

[00:00:58] Pretty special roundtable today. We're all getting very animated, if not jiggy with it.

[00:02:08] Jiggly animation.

[00:02:09] Jiggly.

[00:02:10] Hey, folks, we have a gorilla for sale. Magilla Gorilla.

[00:02:16] Brian, warning, there will be impressions. Too much for one show, probably.

[00:02:22] Not by me.

[00:02:24] Not by me.

[00:02:26] I always lose my shit when I see some comedian do a Pitch Perfect...

[00:02:30] I mean, I would even see some Who's Lying guys do this.

[00:02:32] They would do a Pitch Perfect impression of Snagglepuss.

[00:02:35] Snaggletooth.

[00:02:36] Oh!

[00:02:36] And it's Snagglepuss!

[00:02:38] How you doing?

[00:02:39] Yeah, I just...

[00:02:40] I like that mix of an Elvis with a...

[00:02:42] And it's Demirga Chulade.

[00:02:43] The cool kid who's also...

[00:02:45] He's a hopeless romantic.

[00:02:47] Yeah, I love that kind of persona.

[00:02:49] It's so wild to put on.

[00:02:51] How many people do you know can do a great impression of...

[00:02:56] Great impression that says,

[00:02:57] Hello, dum-dum.

[00:02:59] There was something about the Great Gazoo.

[00:03:01] Who did his voice?

[00:03:02] Harvey Korman.

[00:03:03] That's right.

[00:03:04] That's what I thought.

[00:03:05] Yep.

[00:03:06] Yes.

[00:03:07] I'm friends with his son online.

[00:03:10] He has a son online?

[00:03:12] Yeah, it's Chris Korman.

[00:03:15] He talks about his dad.

[00:03:16] His dad was a really great guy from what I've been reading.

[00:03:21] He's like George Carlin's daughter, Kelly.

[00:03:23] Who posts material weekly.

[00:03:26] Basically, the social media estate.

[00:03:28] The thing I love about it is that...

[00:03:31] You know, he talks about...

[00:03:32] But Gazoo was like his first big break, I think.

[00:03:37] I mean, I think he'd done a couple movie roles.

[00:03:39] But...

[00:03:40] It would have been before Blazing.

[00:03:42] It would have been before Mary...

[00:03:44] It was before...

[00:03:46] Before Blazing, before Carol Burnett.

[00:03:47] He was just about to do Lord Lovaduck.

[00:03:52] Yeah.

[00:03:54] That's that one with...

[00:03:55] Shit.

[00:03:56] Roddy McDowell.

[00:03:57] Roddy McDowell and then the woman.

[00:04:00] Tuesday Weld.

[00:04:01] Tuesday Weld.

[00:04:02] Yeah.

[00:04:02] Tuesday Weld.

[00:04:02] I'm speaking my language now.

[00:04:04] Oh my God.

[00:04:04] That's the one where the very creepy...

[00:04:06] That's the one with the very creepy father.

[00:04:09] Yeah.

[00:04:09] With the sweater.

[00:04:10] Oh yeah, with the sweaters.

[00:04:11] Oh Jesus Christ.

[00:04:13] Oh yeah.

[00:04:14] Mike, you remember her from Once Upon a Time in America?

[00:04:16] Once Upon a Time in America, yeah.

[00:04:19] Santo Masochist, yeah.

[00:04:23] That got dark really quick.

[00:04:25] Yeah.

[00:04:26] It's true.

[00:04:26] What character is in the movie?

[00:04:27] We're not already dark?

[00:04:29] Yeah.

[00:04:31] I remember...

[00:04:32] Do you guys ever have home movie projectors?

[00:04:36] Silent movies that your dad...

[00:04:37] We did.

[00:04:38] My grandfather did.

[00:04:39] I think we did.

[00:04:40] Yeah.

[00:04:40] Relatives.

[00:04:41] Eight millimeter.

[00:04:41] Yeah.

[00:04:42] I remember you could buy...

[00:04:44] At Kmart, buy like cartoons, but they were silent.

[00:04:47] I remember we had them...

[00:04:48] Weren't they cheaper than like any Laserdisc or VHS?

[00:04:51] Yeah.

[00:04:52] Way back to that.

[00:04:52] Yeah.

[00:04:53] You could get...

[00:04:53] Yeah.

[00:04:53] So nutty.

[00:04:54] You think it'd be the other way around.

[00:05:00] I think the first two minutes was him just on a motorcycle talk and there was no captions

[00:05:04] or anything.

[00:05:06] So we were looking around for the script, you know.

[00:05:08] It's like...

[00:05:09] Then they finally started putting captions.

[00:05:10] It was really strange.

[00:05:12] Oh, man.

[00:05:13] Yeah.

[00:05:13] My grandfather had those.

[00:05:14] He played a lot of old silent like Charlie Chaplin.

[00:05:17] Yeah.

[00:05:18] I think too on that.

[00:05:19] Yeah.

[00:05:19] We'd play some of those too.

[00:05:20] Ben Blue was one.

[00:05:21] Yeah.

[00:05:22] Oh, God.

[00:05:23] Ben Blue.

[00:05:24] Jesus Christ.

[00:05:25] Yeah.

[00:05:25] My father remembered Ben Blue when I was a kid.

[00:05:28] Oh, my God.

[00:05:30] Oh, God.

[00:05:32] I think there was a short...

[00:05:33] Ben Blue, not so fast.

[00:05:34] He was a grocery clerk or something.

[00:05:36] Yeah.

[00:05:38] Yeah.

[00:05:39] I kind of...

[00:05:41] It's like him and Edgar Kennedy could be like, you know, two guys that you know right

[00:05:47] off the bat.

[00:05:47] If you see them, you know who they are.

[00:05:49] Yeah.

[00:05:50] Yeah.

[00:05:52] Edgar Kennedy, master of the...

[00:05:58] Who cares?

[00:06:02] That's why I was heartbroken by that mad TV comedian, Erica Ashe, passing away.

[00:06:07] Because it's like, she's not someone you know, but you've seen her face on a few sketch shows.

[00:06:11] I was like, hey.

[00:06:12] Yeah.

[00:06:12] I root for any underdog.

[00:06:13] I root for anyone who can make this their day job without even relying on their fame.

[00:06:21] Yeah.

[00:06:21] And that's the thing, you know.

[00:06:23] It's just...

[00:06:23] That's the video of the Hanna-Barbera family.

[00:06:25] Like, they...

[00:06:26] Instead of just using the exact same voice actors, there's so much diversity.

[00:06:30] Like, there are so many working actors mixed in with voice actors.

[00:06:34] Well, you got to remember, they started out under MGM.

[00:06:39] And that is a good point.

[00:06:40] Yeah.

[00:06:41] They...

[00:06:42] They...

[00:06:42] Their cartoons...

[00:06:43] The first cartoons they do are Tom and Jerry.

[00:06:46] Right.

[00:06:46] And then...

[00:06:47] For more on that, let's see the special.

[00:06:48] That was for MGM.

[00:06:49] That was for MGM.

[00:06:51] Yeah.

[00:06:51] And then they started to go more...

[00:06:53] They had Tex Avery in there, too.

[00:06:55] Mm-hmm.

[00:06:55] So he was doing...

[00:06:56] He was doing Droopy Dog and, you know, all those really funny cartoons.

[00:07:00] You got to say it in the voice.

[00:07:01] I'm Droopy.

[00:07:03] I'm Droopy.

[00:07:04] Hold on.

[00:07:05] Wait, wait.

[00:07:05] Droopy Dog is Lee Harvey Oswald.

[00:07:09] I'm not a crook.

[00:07:11] No, I've been not...

[00:07:13] So nobody has charged me with that yet.

[00:07:16] Yeah.

[00:07:17] Nobody's charged me with Broly Kid.

[00:07:19] Our third year into this, we did a sarcastic award show and we did give out a Droopy Dog award for most whiny character.

[00:07:28] And that was fun.

[00:07:30] Because there were so many options.

[00:07:35] Oh.

[00:07:37] Ha ha!

[00:07:38] Ha ha!

[00:07:38] Ha ha!

[00:07:39] Ha ha!

[00:07:39] Levy!

[00:07:39] Give me a good game!

[00:07:41] Was Hanna-Barbera in charge of those cartoons?

[00:07:43] I don't think they were by them, were they?

[00:07:45] No.

[00:07:46] No.

[00:07:46] By that time...

[00:07:47] Well, technically, they kind of were.

[00:07:50] It was on their material.

[00:07:52] Yeah.

[00:07:52] Hanna-Barbera had been...

[00:08:04] William Street had permission to use those characters.

[00:08:08] And that's why they used Carvey Birdman and the Galaxy Trio.

[00:08:13] And C-Lab.

[00:08:14] C-Lab.

[00:08:15] C-Lab 22, which I thought was a genius idea to find this, like...

[00:08:19] So when did they start merging with Warner Brothers?

[00:08:23] Probably in the 90s.

[00:08:26] That was actually 2001, I think.

[00:08:29] Yeah.

[00:08:29] Oh, wow.

[00:08:30] 2001, but...

[00:08:31] What about the Turner family?

[00:08:34] Thanks for that.

[00:08:35] Because they kept...

[00:08:36] Yeah.

[00:08:36] And I think by that time, Joe Barbera had died.

[00:08:39] And then Hanna, you know...

[00:08:42] Hanna died a couple years later.

[00:08:44] And...

[00:08:45] But they had...

[00:08:45] They could use...

[00:08:46] They could use the characters.

[00:08:48] So that's why they used New Falcon and...

[00:08:50] You know...

[00:08:51] They would put, you know, Devlin, which was like...

[00:08:54] Would you say...

[00:08:56] Would you say they were overall more successful than Warner Brothers or Disney, in a way?

[00:09:01] In that day...

[00:09:02] They were during a period.

[00:09:04] Yeah.

[00:09:04] This is like...

[00:09:05] Yeah.

[00:09:05] I mean...

[00:09:06] The thing...

[00:09:06] They come out with any Flintstones or Scooby-Doo revival.

[00:09:09] It always sells out.

[00:09:11] You know, it doesn't matter if it's not as good as the original.

[00:09:14] Yeah.

[00:09:14] And what you have to remember is that the Timberbera zeitgeist, as it were, it spanned from the 60s well into the 90s and even...

[00:09:24] Yeah.

[00:09:25] Even if part of the...

[00:09:26] Part of the whole Turner part of it, now, even today, in some different pieces...

[00:09:34] And you gotta...

[00:09:35] I'm sorry.

[00:09:36] I'm sorry.

[00:09:36] Go ahead.

[00:09:37] And you gotta think, too, Tom, on top of that, they were doing TV shows.

[00:09:42] Warner Brothers basically stopped doing shorts in the mid-60s...

[00:09:46] Like, the 60s.

[00:09:48] Right.

[00:09:48] So they didn't...

[00:09:49] They stopped doing ones that played before the movie.

[00:09:51] They were doing that, but then they licensed all their cartoons out to, you know...

[00:09:55] They had the backlog so they could put the library on television.

[00:09:59] And then what Hanna-Barbera was doing was going, okay, we've got all these cartoons, but we have more ideas down the pipe.

[00:10:06] That's why they had, like...

[00:10:07] So instead of exhausting their resources, they...

[00:10:10] They said, hey, let's license it to a company and we'll make a...

[00:10:14] We'll get a bigger budget.

[00:10:15] We'll elongate...

[00:10:17] You can thank...

[00:10:17] You can thank Cohen for that.

[00:10:20] Harry Cohen for giving them the money for that.

[00:10:22] He would...

[00:10:23] He basically invested in them.

[00:10:25] Really?

[00:10:25] You guys want to make...

[00:10:26] Our favorite movie screenwriter.

[00:10:29] No.

[00:10:29] Our least favorite studio head of all time.

[00:10:33] Harry Cohen.

[00:10:35] Yeah.

[00:10:36] Not the horror...

[00:10:38] No, no.

[00:10:40] Different...

[00:10:40] No.

[00:10:41] Different lines.

[00:10:43] God told me to.

[00:10:45] He gave them the capital to do it.

[00:10:47] So that's why, you know...

[00:10:50] They were coming up with shows like, you know...

[00:10:52] They had, like, you know...

[00:10:52] Augie Dogie and Daddy Dogie and, you know...

[00:10:56] All this stuff.

[00:10:57] And their big...

[00:10:57] Two big hits, which last a long time, were...

[00:10:59] The Jetsons and the Flintstones.

[00:11:01] And you have two...

[00:11:03] You know...

[00:11:04] The Jets...

[00:11:04] The Flintstones comes...

[00:11:05] Yeah, go ahead.

[00:11:06] It started out with...

[00:11:08] Something else first.

[00:11:09] Before...

[00:11:10] You know, it had...

[00:11:11] Yogi Bear was in the show, but it was...

[00:11:13] Was it Huckleberry Hound?

[00:11:14] Huckleberry Hound.

[00:11:16] Yogi Bear.

[00:11:17] Adam Ant.

[00:11:20] What was the three dogs?

[00:11:25] Oh...

[00:11:25] Shit.

[00:11:27] I know.

[00:11:27] I know.

[00:11:27] It wasn't two stupid dogs.

[00:11:29] It was like...

[00:11:30] No, no, no, no, no.

[00:11:30] It was three...

[00:11:31] Three dogs.

[00:11:32] They were like the three musketeers.

[00:11:34] Oh, oh, oh, oh.

[00:11:36] That's right.

[00:11:38] There's Hong Kong Foo-y.

[00:11:39] And then there was...

[00:11:40] Hong Kong Foo-y was the 70s.

[00:11:41] We're talking the 60s.

[00:11:42] So we're talking the 60s.

[00:11:43] Yeah.

[00:11:44] The 60s.

[00:11:44] There was something called Pixie and Dixie and Yogi Bear that was with...

[00:11:47] That was in the Huckleberry Hound show.

[00:11:49] Yeah.

[00:11:50] Pixie and Dixie.

[00:11:51] Look at you go.

[00:11:52] Dixie to pieces.

[00:11:53] That's great.

[00:11:55] I used to...

[00:11:56] I say that to my sister because I've got two nieces and I said, I hate my nie...

[00:12:01] I hate my...

[00:12:02] Those nieces to pieces.

[00:12:03] I love my nieces to pieces.

[00:12:07] But I can remember that.

[00:12:09] And then they had the Huckleberry Cats.

[00:12:11] The Huckleberry...

[00:12:12] The Hillbilly Bears.

[00:12:14] Hillbilly Bears.

[00:12:17] They did...

[00:12:19] Who was the one that did El Caban?

[00:12:22] That was...

[00:12:23] Quick Draw McGraw.

[00:12:24] Quick Draw McGraw.

[00:12:25] There we go.

[00:12:25] Go Tom.

[00:12:26] Quick Draw McGraw.

[00:12:27] Yes.

[00:12:29] I forgot who else was in that.

[00:12:31] What was in that.

[00:12:32] But they came up with these two shows that were big successes.

[00:12:37] The Jetsons and the Flintstones.

[00:12:40] And that was prime time.

[00:12:43] You know?

[00:12:43] So...

[00:12:44] Well, it was the Jetsons.

[00:12:45] I think Flintstones was definitely the start of prime time for animation.

[00:12:49] Yeah.

[00:12:49] It really was.

[00:12:50] That is a good point.

[00:12:52] Because Scooby-Doo was later and it was kind of the one...

[00:12:55] It was just like the Honeymooners or...

[00:12:57] I know I love Lucy type sitcom, but it was animated.

[00:13:01] Well, Leeson wanted to sue Hanna-Barbera.

[00:13:06] Really?

[00:13:07] Yeah.

[00:13:07] He wanted to sue Hanna-Barbera and he's like...

[00:13:09] What an evil maniac.

[00:13:10] Yeah.

[00:13:11] Because the Flintstones is based on...

[00:13:13] The Honeymooners.

[00:13:14] Yeah.

[00:13:15] Yeah.

[00:13:16] Wow.

[00:13:17] I call it a homage.

[00:13:19] He said...

[00:13:19] He said, why should I be the guy who pulled the Flintstones off the air?

[00:13:24] You know?

[00:13:25] And they were actually...

[00:13:26] When they were first being conceived, they thought of calling them the Flagstones.

[00:13:30] Yeah.

[00:13:32] Wow.

[00:13:33] That's cynical.

[00:13:34] Which doesn't even make any sense.

[00:13:35] I think it's because they're flagging them.

[00:13:39] Oh, okay.

[00:13:39] Oh, the Flagstones.

[00:13:40] I thought you said Flagstones.

[00:13:42] Okay.

[00:13:44] But...

[00:13:44] It still doesn't make much sense, but I mean...

[00:13:46] It's pretentious either way, but it's wacky.

[00:13:50] It's like, good grief.

[00:13:52] The Jetsons originally...

[00:13:55] It was once 24 episodes.

[00:13:58] They reran them to death.

[00:14:00] And then they brought it back in 85 to 87.

[00:14:02] Yeah.

[00:14:02] Yeah.

[00:14:03] I kept thinking it was more seasons.

[00:14:05] I didn't know that, but weren't some episodes in black and white at times?

[00:14:09] No.

[00:14:10] That was the Flintstones.

[00:14:11] Oh.

[00:14:12] Yeah.

[00:14:12] But they were...

[00:14:13] All their animation, I think, if I remember right, they're done...

[00:14:16] It was all done in color, but of course, you know, they started on ABC and they didn't

[00:14:20] have color on ABC at that time.

[00:14:22] So that might be...

[00:14:24] Okay.

[00:14:24] Wow.

[00:14:25] Have you guys ever seen the...

[00:14:26] Have you guys ever seen the cigarette commercial?

[00:14:28] Yeah.

[00:14:28] I've heard of that.

[00:14:29] Oh, yes.

[00:14:29] Yeah.

[00:14:30] The Boston cigarette commercial.

[00:14:32] Wow.

[00:14:34] Fred and Barney smoked a cigarette and slacking off, and the woman came out and yelled at him

[00:14:38] for not cutting the lawn.

[00:14:40] Yeah.

[00:14:41] Yeah.

[00:14:42] My mother could not stand the Flintstones, because it was always on in the other room,

[00:14:46] and she thought it was whiny.

[00:14:48] She'd always hear, you know.

[00:14:50] I don't know.

[00:14:52] I mean, the women were kind of bitchy on that show, but even then...

[00:14:55] Oh, come on.

[00:14:56] The only woman I did not like was Mrs. Slaggoople.

[00:15:00] I didn't say I hated them.

[00:15:02] I'm just saying they would often whine out their lines.

[00:15:05] But, you know, it had a...

[00:15:08] There were a couple...

[00:15:08] There was one episode I can remember.

[00:15:10] It kind of was a little bit heavy for that time, when Barney and...

[00:15:18] Barney and the...

[00:15:19] Whatchamacallit?

[00:15:20] They find out they can't have a baby.

[00:15:23] Oh, okay.

[00:15:25] Oh, that's where...

[00:15:26] Yeah, that's where Bam Bam comes in.

[00:15:27] Bam Bam came from, yeah.

[00:15:29] Bam Bam, yeah.

[00:15:30] Or did they find Bam Bam?

[00:15:32] They found Bam Bam.

[00:15:47] They showed on screen.

[00:15:48] Yeah.

[00:15:50] Progression.

[00:15:51] A real family, man.

[00:15:53] But the thing...

[00:15:54] My uncle called his dachshunds Pebbles and Bam Bam growing up, and I was like, I see

[00:15:58] what you did there.

[00:16:02] Yeah, I mean, and then they also did another show everybody forgets called Johnny Quest.

[00:16:07] Oh, yeah.

[00:16:08] I remember watching that one as a kid.

[00:16:09] They don't replay that much for some reason.

[00:16:11] I don't know why.

[00:16:12] It was big.

[00:16:13] I don't know why neither.

[00:16:14] I thought it was a great show.

[00:16:15] I can remember watching the reruns on USA when they used to do the Cartoon Express.

[00:16:22] And you'd hear that jazz.

[00:16:28] There was a parody show of it years later, Johnny Test, which didn't last long, but kind

[00:16:34] of...

[00:16:35] I like the fact they influenced the Venture Brothers.

[00:16:37] Oh, yeah.

[00:16:40] Yeah.

[00:16:40] And they did a little play on that with Johnny Quest actually being a drug addict in a bath

[00:16:48] of the year.

[00:16:49] Let's see.

[00:16:49] Johnny Quest would call him something a little off from that.

[00:16:52] Well, they just call him Johnny.

[00:16:54] Yeah.

[00:16:55] But there was an episode where Race Bannon dies at the beginning of the thing.

[00:17:00] And he's like, tell Johnny...

[00:17:04] You know, he just feels...

[00:17:06] But if you ever watch the show Freakazoid, they did an episode called Toby Danger, which

[00:17:16] was a loving homage to Johnny Quest.

[00:17:20] And they got Don Messick in one of his last roles to voice Dr. Danger.

[00:17:26] And he was like...

[00:17:27] They're like saying...

[00:17:28] They're like, all you have to do is just be...

[00:17:30] You just have to be Dr. Quest, but being like, kind of like...

[00:17:38] He's like, wait, you just want me to do the Dr. Quest twist?

[00:17:41] Yeah.

[00:17:41] That's no problem.

[00:17:42] And he has to fight...

[00:17:44] He has to make the world's biggest...

[00:17:46] Am I super conductor or something like that?

[00:17:50] And everything is like just a big...

[00:17:52] A big hiss on Johnny Quest.

[00:17:55] Like, instead of Race Bannon, it's Dash O' Pepper.

[00:17:59] Every time he gets to the place, watch out, you heathen monkey.

[00:18:02] He throws a barrel at something.

[00:18:05] Yeah.

[00:18:08] Manila Gorilla.

[00:18:09] That was another one.

[00:18:11] Magilla Gorilla.

[00:18:12] Magilla Gorilla.

[00:18:13] Yes, I can never pronounce it right, but yeah.

[00:18:15] Manila Gorilla was somebody from the Philippines.

[00:18:18] Yeah.

[00:18:18] He was a wrestler, I think.

[00:18:20] I don't even know what you're going to do.

[00:18:22] No.

[00:18:23] Yeah, Magilla Gorilla, that was...

[00:18:26] Mr. Peebles was Howard Morris, and Magilla was the voice of...

[00:18:32] Frank Welker and Jeff Bergman and...

[00:18:34] Alan Melville.

[00:18:35] Alan Melville.

[00:18:35] Alan Melville.

[00:18:36] Yeah, he was the principal and other comedians.

[00:18:38] And then you've got...

[00:18:39] And then you've got Top Cat.

[00:18:41] I love Top Cat.

[00:18:43] He was great.

[00:18:43] They were trying to do a Phil Silvers with Top Cat.

[00:18:45] Yeah.

[00:18:46] Yeah.

[00:18:47] Yeah.

[00:18:47] Yeah.

[00:18:50] And Jabberjaw...

[00:18:51] Jabberjaw was always confusing because, you know, he appeared on so many of the other Hanna-Barbera cartoons,

[00:18:56] but his cartoon only lasted one season in 76.

[00:18:59] And I always...

[00:19:00] Yeah.

[00:19:00] Because they always played them together in reruns, I always thought it was one big variety show.

[00:19:06] So it must have been...

[00:19:07] For syndication, they just called it the Hanna-Barbera Hour or something like that.

[00:19:11] They used to call it the...

[00:19:12] It was...

[00:19:13] It wasn't...

[00:19:13] Was it the Funtastic World of Hanna-Bar...

[00:19:15] No, that's not it.

[00:19:16] Something like that.

[00:19:17] That was one of the shows, yeah.

[00:19:19] Yeah.

[00:19:19] Of course, he...

[00:19:20] It still comes on Boomerang, though.

[00:19:21] So that's good.

[00:19:23] Yeah, of course, going back to Guy Quest, what was the first episode of Harvey Birdman?

[00:19:29] It involved Johnny Quest.

[00:19:33] Johnny Quest.

[00:19:34] And...

[00:19:34] I love the boys.

[00:19:35] I love the boys.

[00:19:37] They wanted to race Bannon and Dr. Quest for trying to see who's getting custody of the boys.

[00:19:45] And it kind of like...

[00:19:46] It kind of like, you know, they might be a gay couple.

[00:19:50] Yeah.

[00:19:51] Well, they play on that in the Venture Brothers, too.

[00:19:55] Yes, they play on that in the Venture Brothers, too.

[00:19:57] Yeah.

[00:19:58] But I think Johnny Quest was so fun because it was like James Bond and Tom Swift.

[00:20:04] Yeah.

[00:20:05] You know?

[00:20:06] And then Haji.

[00:20:07] Remember Haji?

[00:20:08] Haji.

[00:20:09] Oh, yes.

[00:20:10] Tim Salabim.

[00:20:11] Yeah.

[00:20:12] And his dog, Bandit.

[00:20:14] Yeah.

[00:20:16] Oh, man.

[00:20:17] There's a funny Harvey Birdman where, like, the bird...

[00:20:20] Where the hawk is cleaning out, like, a satchel or something.

[00:20:24] And he's got, like...

[00:20:25] Yes.

[00:20:25] Scrappy dude.

[00:20:26] And then you're...

[00:20:27] They absolutely love those cartoons to do those parodies, you know?

[00:20:31] Well, that's the thing.

[00:21:47] There's something enlightening for everyone with this crowd of cool cats.

[00:21:50] Check them out.

[00:21:58] You know, I mean, the thing I love about a lot of these shows that we watch now

[00:22:04] that were on Adult Swim, I mean, you can go back to Hanna-Barbera,

[00:22:07] and you can be like, okay, the groundwork is here in the 60s.

[00:22:12] Yeah.

[00:22:13] When they get, a lot of people don't realize,

[00:22:14] they actually did the Abbott and Costello show in the 60s.

[00:22:19] Oh, yeah.

[00:22:20] Consider me surprised.

[00:22:23] But the only one he was working on it was Bud Abbott.

[00:22:26] They got a guy named Stu Irwin to be the voice of Costello.

[00:22:31] So history repeats itself.

[00:22:34] We see Warner Bros. cartoons appearing in front of other Warner Bros. releases.

[00:22:38] We see Tracy Ullman premieres The Simpsons on her show.

[00:22:41] So that's cool that they put it on their Variety Show Hour.

[00:22:45] No, no.

[00:22:46] No, no.

[00:22:47] By that time, Luke Costello was dead.

[00:22:50] Yeah.

[00:22:50] So what they did was they said, okay, you know, we already done,

[00:22:56] they did, they'd done, I think they'd done Laurel and Hardy for a season.

[00:23:02] And then what they said, okay, let's put Abbott and Costello in cartoon form.

[00:23:08] And then they kind of like, well, it was Bud Abbott and Stu Irwin

[00:23:15] who did the voices of Bud Abbott.

[00:23:17] I don't know if by that time had been sick or he'd had a stroke or something like that.

[00:23:22] So you could tell, you know, they're doing all the bits and everything, but, but, you know,

[00:23:26] Bud Abbott is just, you know, going slower with his pacing and everything like that.

[00:23:31] You know, I've watched, I, every, all the kids I knew were like, I don't remember that.

[00:23:35] I remember that being on channel five.

[00:23:37] They would rerun it every weekday after school, you know, Abbott and Costello, but it wasn't,

[00:23:42] you know, it was a guy imitating Luke Costello and then their Bud Abbott, you know,

[00:23:48] it's like when they did the Three Stooges cartoon in the sixties, they had Larry,

[00:23:52] Larry Moe and Curly Joe Dorita, you know, do the voices.

[00:23:56] Yeah.

[00:23:57] Cause Curly was the, Curly was gone.

[00:24:00] Yeah.

[00:24:00] Yeah.

[00:24:01] So.

[00:24:05] Wow.

[00:24:06] Yeah.

[00:24:07] Because, because when he did it, it was like 62, 63.

[00:24:10] So they were getting that re, you know, that reboot and popularity again.

[00:24:16] And Curly Joe had come in, Curly Joe Dorita came in replacing Joe Besser who replaced Shemp,

[00:24:23] who replaced Curly.

[00:24:25] Yeah.

[00:24:25] So, you know, it was, it was the last, the last incarnation of the Stooges.

[00:24:30] Well, no, I mean, they tried to rebrand them in the seventies as the Bionic Stooges.

[00:24:36] Yeah.

[00:24:38] Robotic Stooges.

[00:24:39] Yep.

[00:24:39] Don't get me started on that.

[00:24:41] Don't get me started on that.

[00:24:42] I went off on that.

[00:24:43] I went off on that.

[00:24:47] You know, it just wasn't.

[00:24:50] I just watched a Yogi Berra documentary and he wasn't crazy about Yogi Berra.

[00:24:56] He knew there were, it was a take on his name.

[00:24:58] He didn't sue him or anything, but he would, he didn't really like Yogi Berra sue.

[00:25:03] Yeah.

[00:25:08] He didn't like the character, but he didn't, he thought, oh, it's just for kids.

[00:25:11] It's okay.

[00:25:12] You know?

[00:25:12] Yeah.

[00:25:13] Stupid kids.

[00:25:13] Yeah.

[00:25:18] And so, yeah, Mel Blanc.

[00:25:20] I think the one thing that gets me the most is who they had for pretty involved.

[00:25:23] Mel Blanc, Jude Foray, Gene Vander Ply.

[00:25:25] The usual suspects.

[00:25:28] They had their two big dogs in there, which were Don Messick and Goz Butler.

[00:25:33] Alan Reed, Alan Malville.

[00:25:35] And who was the voice of Barney was Mel Blanc.

[00:25:38] There were some Disney guys, I think.

[00:25:42] Well, here's something funny that I found out.

[00:25:45] When Sleeping Beauty flopped in 1959.

[00:25:49] Oh, wow.

[00:25:51] Disney let go of some of their animators.

[00:25:53] So, Hanna-Barbera was like, hey, you want to come over here and work for us?

[00:25:58] And they snatched up a couple of the guys from Disney.

[00:26:01] Okay.

[00:26:02] And those guys went to work for Hanna-Barbera.

[00:26:05] And they did a one.

[00:26:08] The animation got like tenfold better, you know, than what it was before, you know.

[00:26:14] Well, I mean, their animation was still...

[00:26:16] The one thing about them going to TV is their animation was very limited.

[00:26:22] And they did a thing where they're putting like collars on their necks and stuff so that they can animate the heads and stuff without the body really moving.

[00:26:32] Yeah.

[00:26:32] A lot.

[00:26:33] Yeah.

[00:26:33] Or they'd run through their house and it was like a mile long.

[00:26:37] They'd keep passing the same lamp.

[00:26:38] Remember?

[00:26:39] Yeah.

[00:26:41] They'd like make a loop or something.

[00:26:43] They did that with He-Man.

[00:26:45] If you ever watched He-Man, they did the same background over and over again.

[00:26:48] Yeah.

[00:26:49] Yeah.

[00:26:49] Oh, always.

[00:26:50] That would always drive me crazy.

[00:26:51] It was just like with various other adventure shows.

[00:26:53] They'd show the previous frame before they went to commercial and then reuse a fact but reverse the frame to make it look like a different angle.

[00:27:00] And you're like, oh, good grief.

[00:27:04] No, the Flintstones always had animals to be used as like a record player.

[00:27:11] Like the beat of...

[00:27:12] That's what I loved about it.

[00:27:14] And then they turn and talk to the camera all the time.

[00:27:17] And then again...

[00:27:18] It's a living.

[00:27:19] It's a living.

[00:27:20] And then The Great Kazoo.

[00:27:21] Was he before or after Marvin the Martian?

[00:27:24] That's what I never...

[00:27:25] He's after Marvin the Martian.

[00:27:27] He came in late during The Flintstones, I think.

[00:27:31] Right.

[00:27:31] Yeah, he comes in, I think, the last season.

[00:27:34] Was he homage to that or just inspired by the general interpretation of a Martian?

[00:27:38] I think it was kind of like they wanted to just like bring something new to the table.

[00:27:44] So like, hey, let's make this like impish character who's green and, you know, tortures the shit out of Fred.

[00:27:51] And, you know, you just go, hello, dum-dum.

[00:27:54] But you guys remember...

[00:27:56] Do you remember like the stars they had on that show, on The Flintstones?

[00:28:01] Stoney Curtis and Mark Rocky.

[00:28:03] The Ann Margaret one is a very popular one.

[00:28:06] And I think that's why people liked it.

[00:28:08] Kids were introduced to these classic movie stars while adults were like, hey, I see what they're doing.

[00:28:12] They're doing a comedic version.

[00:28:13] I am Rock Quarry.

[00:28:15] I almost said not...

[00:28:16] If they existed in prehistoric terms, I guess because they're ancestors.

[00:28:19] I almost said Cynthia Rothrock.

[00:28:23] She would have fit right in.

[00:28:24] I would love it if we had Hong Kong movie stars.

[00:28:29] My favorite is...

[00:28:30] Jackie Chan, leave me alone.

[00:28:32] My favorite is Rock Quarry.

[00:28:34] He goes, hi, I'm Rock Quarry.

[00:28:37] You may know me from such movies as, you know, it's just...

[00:28:40] Ah, ah, ah, ah.

[00:28:43] That's from my new movie.

[00:28:44] Dr. Jekyll's...

[00:28:45] Miss Dr. Jekyll's Hyde.

[00:28:47] But now I will just play Gus Schultz.

[00:28:50] Gas station attendant.

[00:28:53] I miss Holly Rock.

[00:28:55] I miss the...

[00:28:56] Holly Rock?

[00:28:57] Oh my word.

[00:28:58] A little bit of Troy McClure on The Simpsons.

[00:29:01] They picked up on that.

[00:29:02] A bit of that same kind of thing.

[00:29:04] I am Troy McClure.

[00:29:05] You won't remember me from such educational business.

[00:29:08] And Barbera, the secret killer.

[00:29:11] I think they got that more from Doug McClure.

[00:29:14] And he was supposed to do the show.

[00:29:15] It wasn't a Troy Donahue and Doug McClure.

[00:29:18] That's where they got the name.

[00:29:19] Yeah, it might have been a comedy.

[00:29:20] That's where they got the name from.

[00:29:21] Yeah.

[00:29:21] And Doug McClure was going to go on the show as...

[00:29:25] His kids were going,

[00:29:26] Dad, you're being...

[00:29:30] He didn't give a shit.

[00:29:31] He's like, oh, great.

[00:29:32] And they wanted him to go on.

[00:29:34] More money.

[00:29:34] But unfortunately, he passed away before he could do anything.

[00:29:38] Oh.

[00:29:39] Yeah.

[00:29:41] Man.

[00:29:42] Well, they had Dr. Jerry Lewis as Frank's father.

[00:29:46] Yeah, Frank's father.

[00:29:47] Yeah.

[00:29:47] Yeah.

[00:29:49] Getting back to Kazoo,

[00:29:50] wasn't there the Vice using Kazoo to get a crossover

[00:29:54] of the Flintstones meet the Jetsons?

[00:29:56] Did Kazoo get involved with that?

[00:29:58] I know they met.

[00:29:59] I don't remember how exactly.

[00:30:00] I don't remember how.

[00:30:01] Wow.

[00:30:01] I think it was a time machine or something like that.

[00:30:04] Yeah.

[00:30:04] Yeah.

[00:30:05] But there's a theory that goes around that

[00:30:07] the reasons why the Jetsons are so high up

[00:30:12] is that there was a nuclear war on the ground

[00:30:14] is what we had.

[00:30:16] It's what is, you know,

[00:30:18] like it's back to, you know,

[00:30:20] or pollution or something.

[00:30:22] It's back to Stone Age times on the ground.

[00:30:24] So, you know,

[00:30:25] that's a weird theory I've always read about

[00:30:28] when I was younger.

[00:30:29] You're right.

[00:30:29] They were always up in the air.

[00:30:30] You're right.

[00:30:30] Yeah.

[00:30:31] You know,

[00:30:31] but I think the thing that cracks me up the most is

[00:30:35] when you watch the Jetsons video,

[00:30:39] video phones.

[00:30:41] Yeah.

[00:30:43] Exercise,

[00:30:44] exercise videos for Housewives at Home.

[00:30:47] Peletron.

[00:30:49] Peletron.

[00:30:50] I want his job.

[00:30:51] Oh, yeah.

[00:30:55] That was the Apple store before it was cool.

[00:30:58] Oh, yeah.

[00:31:00] Astro, the dog kind of morphed into Scooby-Doo.

[00:31:02] I think it's almost the same voice.

[00:31:04] Yeah.

[00:31:04] It is.

[00:31:05] And they kind of borrowed the same kind of

[00:31:07] making fun of Hollywood for new Scooby-Doo movies.

[00:31:09] But by that point,

[00:31:10] I felt they had exhausted that.

[00:31:11] It was the same voice actor for both,

[00:31:13] wasn't it?

[00:31:13] Yeah.

[00:31:13] Yeah, I think so.

[00:31:14] Yeah.

[00:31:15] Well, no.

[00:31:15] Doss Butler did.

[00:31:18] Doss Butler did the voice of Elroy.

[00:31:23] And what's he called?

[00:31:24] Don Messick,

[00:31:26] I think did the voice of Astro.

[00:31:30] And then later is,

[00:31:33] oh, gee, Pop.

[00:31:36] That's good.

[00:31:37] And you want to know something funny?

[00:31:39] If you watch the show,

[00:31:41] they had people on the show.

[00:31:42] So you ever watch the one with Jet Screamer?

[00:31:46] You know,

[00:31:46] Eep Up Orca Ah?

[00:31:48] Oh, yeah.

[00:31:49] Okay.

[00:31:50] That is,

[00:31:52] that is,

[00:31:54] what's it called?

[00:31:55] Howard Morris.

[00:31:56] Howard Morris was on your show of shows.

[00:31:58] He was also,

[00:31:59] he was also,

[00:32:01] Mayberry.

[00:32:02] Yeah.

[00:32:02] Mayberry.

[00:32:03] He was,

[00:32:03] it was,

[00:32:04] it was Ernest T. Bass.

[00:32:06] Yeah.

[00:32:07] So,

[00:32:07] yeah.

[00:32:08] And I,

[00:32:09] I never made that connection to like,

[00:32:11] you know,

[00:32:11] 20,

[00:32:12] 25 years ago.

[00:32:13] You know,

[00:32:14] I was like,

[00:32:14] oh,

[00:32:14] he did that.

[00:32:15] Oh,

[00:32:15] okay.

[00:32:16] You know.

[00:32:18] Nice.

[00:32:22] We talked a little bit about recycling backgrounds,

[00:32:25] but we can't overlook the fact that they actually recycled

[00:32:28] premises.

[00:32:29] Yeah.

[00:32:29] For different shows.

[00:32:31] Like you had the Jetsons and the Elton work into,

[00:32:33] um,

[00:32:34] you'll see in the pussycat in space.

[00:32:36] And then also Partridge family,

[00:32:38] I 20 something.

[00:32:40] 20,

[00:32:40] 20,

[00:32:41] 20,

[00:32:42] 200 AD.

[00:32:43] Yeah.

[00:32:43] And they,

[00:32:43] yeah.

[00:32:44] And then they had more than.

[00:32:45] Go ahead.

[00:32:46] Go ahead.

[00:32:47] I was going to say they had more than one mystery solving,

[00:32:50] you know,

[00:32:50] group of teenagers.

[00:32:51] Always.

[00:32:52] Yep.

[00:32:58] Gooby Doo.

[00:32:59] Um,

[00:33:00] trying to think.

[00:33:01] Clue Club.

[00:33:02] The Amazing Chan.

[00:33:03] Was that kind of our brain?

[00:33:04] The Amazing Chan clan.

[00:33:06] Yeah.

[00:33:06] Yeah.

[00:33:07] Goober and the Ghost Chasers.

[00:33:09] I'm pretty sure Mr.

[00:33:10] Ranger arrested someone.

[00:33:12] No,

[00:33:12] I'm just kidding.

[00:33:13] But they also had like Speed Buggy and,

[00:33:16] uh,

[00:33:17] Speed Buggy.

[00:33:18] Blue Falcon.

[00:33:19] Yeah,

[00:33:19] Blue Falcon and,

[00:33:20] and Dino Mun.

[00:33:21] No problem.

[00:33:23] I did,

[00:33:25] I did my Speed Buggy imitation.

[00:33:27] I was like,

[00:33:28] okay,

[00:33:29] no problem.

[00:33:30] All right.

[00:33:31] Okay.

[00:33:32] There I go.

[00:33:33] Does anybody know who,

[00:33:35] uh,

[00:33:36] the Scooby gang was based off of?

[00:33:39] I thought it was Nancy Drew or some Hardy Boys.

[00:33:42] No,

[00:33:42] it was,

[00:33:43] um,

[00:33:43] you know,

[00:33:44] it's like a Snagglepuss is based off Burt Larder from the Cowardly Lion.

[00:33:47] Doggy Daddy was based off of Jimmy Durant.

[00:33:50] Top Cat was Phil Sackle.

[00:33:51] Silver's.

[00:33:52] wow.

[00:33:53] And I know,

[00:33:53] I know,

[00:33:54] I know,

[00:33:54] I know.

[00:33:54] It's,

[00:33:55] it's,

[00:33:55] um,

[00:33:56] uh,

[00:33:57] what's it called?

[00:33:58] Dobie Gillis.

[00:33:59] Yep.

[00:34:00] Yep.

[00:34:01] Yeah.

[00:34:02] Fred is Dobie.

[00:34:04] Uh,

[00:34:05] Fred is,

[00:34:05] Fred is Dobie.

[00:34:06] Fred is,

[00:34:06] Fred is Dobie.

[00:34:08] I hear Fred's pretty dope.

[00:34:10] Shaggy,

[00:34:10] Shaggy is Maynard.

[00:34:12] Maynard.

[00:34:13] Zelda is,

[00:34:14] Zelda is,

[00:34:15] um,

[00:34:16] Thelma is,

[00:34:17] Thelma.

[00:34:18] And then Daphne is,

[00:34:20] um,

[00:34:20] Daly Millinger.

[00:34:22] Yep.

[00:34:22] Wow.

[00:34:24] And Casey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy.

[00:34:26] I'm Casey Kasem.

[00:34:30] You know what?

[00:34:32] For the rest of your life.

[00:34:33] And now,

[00:34:34] you ever think when they did the fucking thing?

[00:34:35] It sucks.

[00:34:37] When they did the crossover of,

[00:34:39] of Scooby-Doo meets Batman,

[00:34:40] you know,

[00:34:40] the Scooby-Doo movies,

[00:34:42] you know,

[00:34:42] Scooby-Doo meets Batman and Robin,

[00:34:44] that Casey Kasem had the,

[00:34:46] in one scene,

[00:34:46] had the voice Shaggy and Robin.

[00:34:48] So basically he was just talking to himself.

[00:34:50] And then what,

[00:34:51] and what if,

[00:34:52] and what if they had Josie and the Pussycats show up?

[00:34:54] So it would be three characters he'd be talking to.

[00:34:56] So basically he'd be doing a three-way communication with himself.

[00:35:00] It's yeah.

[00:35:01] It's gotta be hard after a while,

[00:35:02] trying to make your voice sound different.

[00:35:05] The Scooby movies were the ones where they had like,

[00:35:08] Oh,

[00:35:08] you had Batman and Robin,

[00:35:09] but you also had like,

[00:35:10] uh,

[00:35:11] the free stooges.

[00:35:12] Yep.

[00:35:13] Yeah.

[00:35:13] Phil's door was in it,

[00:35:14] you know,

[00:35:15] Sonny and Sharon,

[00:35:16] Jonathan Winters,

[00:35:18] Jonathan Winters.

[00:35:20] Oh man.

[00:35:21] I think one of her last,

[00:35:22] I think a last,

[00:35:24] like last,

[00:35:25] wow.

[00:35:26] Her last roles was one of those shows because I remember they were like,

[00:35:31] yeah,

[00:35:32] I just remember like Mama Caspian and then she died like about a year or so

[00:35:35] later,

[00:35:35] you know?

[00:35:36] And ironically,

[00:35:37] her cartoon character also died in a,

[00:35:39] on a cartoon ham sandwich.

[00:35:41] Oh jeez.

[00:35:42] You wanted to go dark.

[00:35:45] Life imitates art.

[00:35:46] Yeah.

[00:35:47] And I've heard that's an urban legend too,

[00:35:49] but yeah.

[00:35:50] Yeah.

[00:35:51] Let's not get into it.

[00:35:52] I couldn't pass it up.

[00:35:53] Yeah.

[00:35:53] I just,

[00:35:54] it just stuck.

[00:35:55] Apparently there was a ham sandwich in the room or something.

[00:35:57] I don't know.

[00:35:59] How did the celebrities always wind up with the Scooby with their car

[00:36:03] breakdown or something?

[00:36:04] they'd wind up.

[00:36:05] Well,

[00:36:05] there was Jonathan Winters.

[00:36:07] Jonathan Winters is his aunt Maude Fricker's house.

[00:36:10] So it's Jonathan Winters playing himself.

[00:36:15] And then they had one where they meet Davey Jones at a castle.

[00:36:19] And he happens just,

[00:36:20] he has to be like,

[00:36:21] I think he's like,

[00:36:21] he's like inherited the castle or something like that.

[00:36:25] Yeah.

[00:36:26] And he's like,

[00:36:26] I'm used to playing for monkeys,

[00:36:27] but not for the dogs.

[00:36:29] You know,

[00:36:29] I mean,

[00:36:29] they were just,

[00:36:30] I mean,

[00:36:30] it's just like Tim Conway is the coach of a football team and they

[00:36:35] just meet him.

[00:36:35] Like,

[00:36:36] I mean,

[00:36:37] oh my God.

[00:36:37] Just for the hell of it.

[00:36:38] Yeah.

[00:36:39] The first episode was the three stooges.

[00:36:43] Yeah.

[00:36:44] Yeah.

[00:36:45] No,

[00:36:45] I remember that.

[00:36:46] And,

[00:36:47] and all those,

[00:36:48] and the least,

[00:36:48] a good chunk of those episodes are on to be right now.

[00:36:51] If you ever get a soft,

[00:36:53] I'll think we're just one.

[00:36:53] If you don't have boomerang,

[00:36:55] if you don't have cable anymore.

[00:36:56] And they also,

[00:36:57] yeah,

[00:36:57] but they also have a,

[00:36:58] have new ones out,

[00:37:00] uh,

[00:37:00] including,

[00:37:01] um,

[00:37:02] including more modern stars.

[00:37:04] Um,

[00:37:05] and there was one,

[00:37:06] they even had one with Batman recently,

[00:37:08] which I,

[00:37:08] which I had to watch because I'm a Batman fan.

[00:37:11] Yeah.

[00:37:12] And.

[00:37:12] Who doesn't like a millionaire who dresses up as a gimp,

[00:37:16] punching people in the face.

[00:37:17] It's just awesome.

[00:37:20] Batman one was that they,

[00:37:21] they dressed up like the,

[00:37:23] uh,

[00:37:24] the suit,

[00:37:25] like the suits when they're dressed up in the suits of the Batman one.

[00:37:27] It was like,

[00:37:28] they were going back to the old super friends one.

[00:37:30] I think for some of those outfits,

[00:37:32] you know,

[00:37:33] I can't remember if they saw any super villains.

[00:37:37] I think they took on everybody.

[00:37:39] It was an Arkham asylum or something like that.

[00:37:41] I don't know.

[00:37:41] I think so.

[00:37:43] But the thing that cracks me up the most is there was no bat might in that.

[00:37:48] Thank God.

[00:37:51] That was Phil nations doing.

[00:37:54] Thank you.

[00:37:54] Yeah.

[00:37:55] Thank you.

[00:37:55] Phil nation for screwing up my childhood.

[00:37:58] Um,

[00:38:01] I never thought I'd hear that in the same sentence.

[00:38:04] Thanks.

[00:38:05] Does anybody remember that when they did,

[00:38:08] when they hit,

[00:38:08] they hit pay dirt with the super friends.

[00:38:11] Yes.

[00:38:12] That's,

[00:38:13] that's the one that I remember as a kid.

[00:38:15] Yeah.

[00:38:16] That's the one that stands out for me.

[00:38:19] Yeah.

[00:38:20] And the,

[00:38:21] and the fun thing about that is that the first season of it was Bob,

[00:38:27] bombed.

[00:38:28] No,

[00:38:28] he picked it up.

[00:38:29] So they had to rerun it and then eventually it caught on.

[00:38:32] Yeah.

[00:38:34] That's funny.

[00:38:35] Then they,

[00:38:35] they did,

[00:38:36] they did the second.

[00:38:37] Now it was,

[00:38:38] there's go super friends.

[00:38:39] And then it goes super challenge of the super friends.

[00:38:43] And like,

[00:38:44] there was a season between.

[00:38:45] Yeah.

[00:38:46] The,

[00:38:46] the,

[00:38:46] the,

[00:38:47] the challenge.

[00:38:48] Yeah.

[00:38:49] Then all new super,

[00:38:50] uh,

[00:38:50] super friends hour.

[00:38:51] Yeah.

[00:38:52] They introduced Zan and Jaina.

[00:38:54] Yeah.

[00:38:54] Which I thought was,

[00:38:55] that's one of the best openings.

[00:38:58] In my.

[00:39:00] Yeah.

[00:39:01] The,

[00:39:02] the,

[00:39:02] the,

[00:39:02] the,

[00:39:03] the,

[00:39:06] the,

[00:39:07] of the universe.

[00:39:09] The most powerful forces of good.

[00:39:11] Ever assembled.

[00:39:12] Ever assembled.

[00:39:13] That's what I love too.

[00:39:14] They would.

[00:39:16] Yeah.

[00:39:17] Ted Knight did the,

[00:39:18] a lot of the voices,

[00:39:19] but I,

[00:39:19] that,

[00:39:20] that is a good point.

[00:39:21] Yep.

[00:39:21] He was,

[00:39:22] he was first season.

[00:39:23] But that's a good point.

[00:39:25] Like the voices really did stand out really well.

[00:39:27] but the themes grabbed you

[00:39:30] they were a character in and of themselves

[00:39:31] they were

[00:39:32] Ole Miss Lea is going to be the voice of Batman

[00:39:34] Norm Alden and then whoever took over for him is going to be the voice of Aquaman

[00:39:38] Shannon Farrell is always going to be the voice of Wonder Woman

[00:39:40] and Casey Kasem is always

[00:39:42] going to be the voice of Robin

[00:39:44] and Shannon Farrell is still alive

[00:39:46] yeah that was

[00:39:48] Super Friends is the one that gave us

[00:39:50] yeah

[00:39:51] they also gave us Wendy, Marvin

[00:39:54] and Wonder Dog

[00:39:57] is it Gleek the monkey?

[00:40:00] I just ran across

[00:40:01] the Flash cartoon from

[00:40:04] 67

[00:40:05] but it wasn't Hanna-Barbera

[00:40:07] it was Filmation

[00:40:10] and then Ted Knight was doing

[00:40:12] the narration on that too

[00:40:13] so they must have picked it up

[00:40:14] Ted Knight also did the narration on the

[00:40:17] 60s Batman

[00:40:20] cartoon show with

[00:40:23] also done by

[00:40:24] Filmation

[00:40:25] yeah

[00:40:26] interesting

[00:40:27] and he also did some of the other characters too

[00:40:29] I think he did like Joker

[00:40:30] this is even before Mary Tyler Moore back then

[00:40:33] yeah

[00:40:33] this is before Mary Tyler Moore

[00:40:35] he's like

[00:40:36] he's right getting into Mary

[00:40:37] you know and then they

[00:40:38] they couldn't get him

[00:40:39] because I think Mary Tyler Moore

[00:40:41] had just

[00:40:42] started to

[00:40:43] get

[00:40:45] more

[00:40:45] popular

[00:40:49] they were like you know

[00:40:51] men

[00:40:53] meanwhile

[00:40:53] back in the

[00:40:54] hall of justice

[00:40:55] meanwhile

[00:40:55] back in the slumps

[00:40:57] Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom

[00:40:58] are planning the next nefarious scheme

[00:41:02] do you remember

[00:41:04] Yogi's Ark

[00:41:05] it was like

[00:41:06] oh

[00:41:06] yes

[00:41:07] every

[00:41:07] almost every

[00:41:08] Hanna-Barbera character

[00:41:09] and they're on their way

[00:41:11] to the perfect place

[00:41:12] on Yogi's Ark

[00:41:13] and it was like

[00:41:14] an ecology

[00:41:15] based thing

[00:41:17] and by the end of the thing

[00:41:18] the moral was

[00:41:20] you have to make

[00:41:21] places perfect

[00:41:21] there's always going to be flawed

[00:41:23] or something like that

[00:41:23] but it was a big introduction

[00:41:25] for that

[00:41:25] but they had almost

[00:41:26] every Hanna-Barbera character

[00:41:27] in it

[00:41:28] you know

[00:41:29] they had to save some

[00:41:32] for a lack olympics

[00:41:33] yep

[00:41:34] yeah

[00:41:34] that spun off

[00:41:35] from that
