Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
I thought Mel Blanc was a genius with voices, I think Frank Welker is giving him a run for his money! If we lose him I'll go spare!! Any Frank Welker fans out here?
Don't believe everything you read in books. As I said, it makes a more colorful story that way.
Of course, you have no reason to believe me, either. I'll just say that I've known many, many people that worked with Mel and there is quite a bit of "exaggeration" in his autobiography.
This, however, in no way, takes away from my admiration for the man and his achievements.
I'm inclined to believe you, Was Once Ernie. If you've known people who knew Mel, that's pretty concrete evidence. And I could imagine that Mel may have added a hint of b.s. (that's bug snot for those under 18) to his bio.
And on a related note, if you really want to read an autobiography filled with b.s. (more bug snot, kids) and a whole lotta back-patting, read the bio of late Batman creator Bob Kane, intitled Batman and Me. I'm not saying the stuff he wrote couldn't have actually happened, but if it all did, then he left out the part where he found a pot of gold under his bed and became president of Jupiter.
Mel Blanc was great and it's a shame that after his death his characters haven't been doing much. Sadly, different times. Looney Tunes humorof old just doesn't get done anymore. Where are our terrorist propoganda cartoons?
