I was thinking about "Follow that Bird" today, and noticed something: Sam and Sid Sleaze show various similarities to Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall (of the Bowery Boys). Does anybody know for sure if the two were based off of Gorcey and Hall?

Could be, after all, look at the Dodo kids... Donny and Marie... now, who do they remind me of... oh yeah, Donny Osmond and his sister Marie Osmond, they had their own variety show in the 70s that was actually created by Sid and Marty Krofft.
