Yes, I taped all 65 episodes of the Animal Show to watch anytime. :) I so love that show. Wondering what different animals will appear as guests. Even Sam the Eagle made a guest appearance on that show. :)
I liked in the end when Bert wanted to continue playing the rhyming game with the lamp.
BERT: "Hey there lamp! That's a nice shade!"
But the lamp didn't reply and Bert walked away sighing, "Not the same!"
This week's voice artist focus is Jim Cummings. A really talented voiceman who got his start at Disney in 1985 voicing Lionel the Lion in Dumbo's Circus. And he became famous for voicing Darkwing Duck. And did replacement voices for Pete, The Big Bad Wolf, Kaa, King Louie, Colonel Hathi, Winnie...
Last Saturday on SNL. TV Funhouse had Jim Henson in a cartoon.
Some kids were watching TV and they were feeling down hearing that those famous DVD movies were going back into the Disney vault for a few years. Until Mickey Mouse magically appeared and invited the kids to go into his vault...
A year later after Bugs Bunny Follies, Bugs came back with another live stage show. Bugs Bunny in Outer Space. And I found it better than the first show.
It started off with a bunch of dancing girls in spacesuits singing an galactic starting song. Then it showed Bugs in his home about to...
Billy Joel when I was a kid. They even had an Animal doll hanging over the drummer's head.
And a couple of months ago, I got to see Anne Murray and I got to hear that wonderful Snowbird song she sang on the Muppet Show. :)
Has anyone ever seen this live stage show called Bugs Bunny Follies? I remember going when I was a kid in the 70's. It had a human host along with the famous Looney Tunes as live costumed performers and Mel Blanc did the voices. They were celebrating Porky Pig's birthday. Bugs was organizing the...
Yes, some of those Andy Griffith characters went off to do voices for cartoon characters later. And I can usually recognize a Hal Smith or a Howard Morris voice when I hear it. :)
XERUS'S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS
This week's voice tribute goes to the late Hal Smith. (1916-1994)
You might remember him in his role as Otis the Town Drunk from the old Andy Griffith show. Hal also did a lot of voicework in his career. Probably his most famous voices were Goliath from Davey and...
Yeah, I really liked Freakazoid too. Paul Rugg knew how to voice that zany guy great. :)
I especially liked those side cartoons.
Toby Danger, a spoof of Johnny Quest
Lord Bravery, with lots of Monty Python humor.
The Huntsman, a manly hero who has to protect a city with no crime at...
That's right. I remember first seeing that original commercial too. I had forgotten the football player who was in it, but now I remember it was Mean Joe Green, thank you. :)
Does anyone remember this classic SS skit from the 80's?
Gordon played a football player named Big Murray. He walks out the stadium feeling depressed and a little boy asks if he could help him. Murray says, "NO!"
The boy takes out a red 7 sticker and asks, "You want my number 7?" Murray...
Here's a thought that always makes me laugh so much. :D
Instead of snow falling down in flakes, what if all the snow came down in one gigantic snowball? Imagine walking outside on a cold day and suddenly you see a small dot in the sky. Then it gets bigger and bigger and bigger and SPLAT...
I too saw where they only showed a shadow of Kermit and I already knew who it was. And I laughed so much we he ran away in a panicky, "YAAAAY!" And when the commercial happened, I changed the channel and I saw the real Kermit on that other show.
Hey, Count. :)
I'd be happy to answer some of your questions.
In Earthworm Jim, the Princess's evil twin sister was voiced by Andrea Martin.
In Gargoyles, Kath voiced all three sisters and I don't think she did Elisa's cat. But Kath did Maggie the girl who was mutated into a cat...
XERUS'S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:
This week's voice artist focus is Kath Soucie. A talented actress who has voiced many cartoon characters like cute little kids with squeaky voices (Sneezer, Phil and Lil) and girls with pretty foreign accents (Linka, Fifi La Fume.) But I think my favorite character...
