Was 99.9% sure this was Ward. It has always seemed to me that people don't notice how weird his stuff really is. The most insane thing he did is definitely Super Chicken. The question is not what they were smoking, but what they were nor smoking.
I never got into George of The Jungle (though I remember watching episodes on one of my local channels early on Saturday mornings sometimes). I also liked Roger Ramjet even though I could've sworn he was a Jay Ward show (he's not)
Some awesome soul also uploaded (mostly) whole seasons of R&B a few years ago (if you or anyone else is ever interested. There are a few episodes missing though.) Season 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYNVCm48w6g
People in Oklahoma are very upset over the murder of Bix Benedict. Even the local Tulsa Fox affiliate is taking the time to use the correct pronouns for Bix (Them, They), the Cherokee Nation Police are involved in investigating the murder, a lot of people are calling for the State Superintendent of Schools to resign in light of his anti-trans policies, and there is a lot more pressure for the Libs of Tik Tok lady to resign from the State School Library Board that the Superintendent of Public Schools appointed her to.
We all got a chuckle out of Smirnov being a Russian operative but, in fact, the other half of his dual- citizenship is Israeli. Maybe OHJB should ask Bibi why his countryman is busy spreading dirt on the (D) nominee…
Re: RFK Jr. and his merry band of conspiracy fantasists.
There's a thing called "crank magnetism" where someone who has fallen for one conspiracy theory is likely to fall for others, until they're total loonies. Not surprised they're on RFK Jr.'s staff.
Thanks for the link to the A24 movie trailer. As if my current nightmares aren't bad enough. On the bright side, I can wait for it to be on a streaming channel. Or maybe just in real life. Thanks again.
I wanna watch the Ringo Starr movie. He was the worst Beatle, but he had the best solo career. By solo, I mean his All Starr Band kicked ass. I heard somewhere that he always tried to make music that his dear mum could listen to and appreciate.
Ringo was a much better drummer than people give him credit for. Not flashy, definitely not the type to do long drum solos, but a remarkable steady drummer who was the backbone of the songs.
As an Oakland (for now...) Athletics fan, I sympathize with the difficulties of rooting for a ballclub which does not, apparently, want to play competitive baseball. Last season the As were struggling for .300 down to the last game, and my hopes are not high for this season.
Really looking forward to the 2025 "Play-Away As."
Just got an email from a new publication, "World Order News", subheaded: "An America First prospective on the changing World Order". Clearly it's unbiased and reality based.
People subscribed to Republican emails get their inboxes flooded with crazy right wing nonsense all day long. Polling shows that shit works.
Gary tabs! Feel like this is one of those special occasions that only happens once in life, like a lightning strike or a hole in one. I'm gonna revel in it.
I discovered One Weird Trick for making an orgasmically delicious meal! Step 1: have your spouse switch to a medically necessary minimal-carb diet. Step 2: go along with it for a week. Step 3: eat a piece of bread. Any bread. Dave's Killer Bread. A take-n-bake roll. Half a hot dog bun. A mummified crouton you found under the stove. The angel choirs will blow out your eardrums.

You're still here!?!
The WiFi connection is amazing
I remember Hoppity and Uncle Waldo! One of Hans Conreid’s finest roles, second of course to Snidely Whiplash.

We need a live action Super Chicken movie. With Will Ferrell as Super Chicken and Brendan Fraser as Fred.
you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.
I still like to watch Jay Ward cartoons.
Whatsamatta U.?
I remember the program intro. Not your typical Saturday morning cartoon theme.

Jay Ward really had a thing for that late fifties-early sixties aesthetic.
Same. I own the entire Rocky & Bullwinkle series on DVD.
Not again?
Greatest investment I ever made was buying the complete series of the original George of the Jungle. George, Super Chicken and Tom Slick!

The whole HH catalog (or at least I think it’s everything) is on YouTube, linked in my post. 😃
Because the show was sponsored for its three season run by General Mills there were boxes of Cheerios with Hoppity Hooper themed packages.
You know, ...for the kids!
I wanted to grow up to talk like Hans Conried.
Came pretty close.
Plus William Conrad and Edward Everett Horton on the Bullwinkle show.
And the scripts were so sharp and intelligent and funny!
I thought that the Kirwood Derby was a Cub Scout thing...
Memories of Durward Kirby wanting to sue Jay Ward over the Kurward Derby and Jay responded, PLEASE! SUE US!!!!

I guess that Putin has decided that Windows 11 isn't as fun as Windows 10.

Fenway Park is simply awesome.
One Froggy Evening! One of Chuck Jone's best
Have always thought that was one of the best cartoons ever made. 🎼Hello, my baby! Hello, my honey! Hello, my ragtime gaaaalll…
My favorite too. Noticed that they cut the “free beer” sign years later. Obvious cut.

RFK Jr. is who we are officially endorsing right? A GENIUS among FOOLS. A KING among NON-KINGS. A HERO to SOMEBODY!!!!!
A legend in his own mind.
I didn't think we'd ruled out Vermin Supreme yet?
I wanna watch the Ringo Starr movie. He was the worst Beatle, but he had the best solo career. By solo, I mean his All Starr Band kicked ass. I heard somewhere that he always tried to make music that his dear mum could listen to and appreciate.
Ringo was a much better drummer than people give him credit for. Not flashy, definitely not the type to do long drum solos, but a remarkable steady drummer who was the backbone of the songs.
I want to see the one about the Fifth Beatle George Santos.
George Santos was Pete Best.
"the jurors were denied their 14th Amendment rights to equal protection, in yet another case of “How dare you not tolerate my intolerance!”"
This initially blew my mind that someone would sue to actually serve on a jury.
The ultimate expression of performative fauxrage since Daffy Duck’s “I *demand* you shoot me now!”
