gay porn, LL Cool J and mighty mouse, where do I start?  :D


The Flintstone's and all their guest stars, what a hoot!  I have to post some pictures, and remember The Way Outs?  They were like The Beatles!  :D


I never saw Burns and Allen either, all I can think about when I read about them is that he outlived her by about half a life time.  Crazy!

And of course we all know The Flintstones was based on The Honeymooners, with Fred and Wilma Flintstone as a "modern stone-age" suburban Ralph and Alice Kramden.

I'd forgotten about the Way Outs.  ;D  Somewhere I read an opinion that The Flintstones "jumped the shark" when they brought in the Great Gazoo (voiced by Harvey Korman!). I don't necessarily agree. I was a kid. I liked it all.  ;D

Barney Rubble even sounded sort of like Ed Norton.

Oh yea they were definitely like the Honeymooners, very much so.

I liked Kazoo as well!   They did change the voices of the characters at one point though didn't they, I seem to remember that bugging me!   :D

I've seen a few episodes of Burns and Allen. I wish I had been around "back then." Gracie Allen was really funny.  :)

LOL, well in a feeble attempt to defend my dotage, let it be known that I did not see any of these during the original runs either.  :)
A local independent TV station used to run them early afternoons and on Saturday when I was a kid. 
It was, I admit, a "while ago" but I am pretty sure we had already discovered fire.

Burns and Allen was excellent and Gracie Allen was a genius.  The best part of the show was the prologue and epilogue which featured George and Gracie basically performing their old vaudeville act.

 :D  I know it is like saying you have seen the Wizard of Oz (which I did last night)  but I don't mean I saw it when it first came out in theatres!





And I guess they were on radio as well, before the TV show!

Without doing any research to check. ... I'm sure I remember that Betty Rubble got a new voice. I think she was first voiced by the incomparable Bea Benaderet (who played neighbor Blanche on Burns and Allen and then went to play Cousin Pearl Bodine [Jethro's mother] on The Beverly Hillbillies and to star as Kate Bradely on Petticoat Junction); she probably just got too busy to stay with the cartoon!  :D

I wasn't here yet ::) for the real Davy Crockett craze, though I saw all the movies in rerun on the Disney program. But Fess in his other frontiersman persona, Daniel Boone, was my hero as a kid in the Sixties. I was thrilled to death when Daniel Boone was finally released on video before Fess passed. One of our local nostalgia channels is running Daniel Boone now, but it's on at 9:00 on weekday mornings, and I gotta work. ...  :(

I can sing the Daniel Boone theme song, too!  ;D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flintstones


Okay here is some info on the voices on The Flintstones, now I am really confused.


As much as I loved Lassie (and wanted a collie) I loved Littlest Hobo more.  I still watch that one in re-runs.  He is a shepard and his real name was London (well there was probably more than one) anyway I loved that dog!  There was another one about a St. Bernard called George as well, really loved him as well.  The animal shows really tug at the heart strings.


 :D  And I am dying laughing here at Mickey Dolenz, I was a big Monkees fan for sure.


Do you have a PVR Jeff, they are great and only a few dollars a month, I tape everything!
