Saturday Morning Cartoon: Bugs Bunny vs Pete Puma

How many lumps do you want?

70's Flashback - Schoolhouse Rock!

Any kid who watched the Super Friends (and the other cartoons) on ABC's Saturday morning cartoon lineup knows all about Schoolhouse Rock! And I'm betting you still remember the words - like I do.

Schoolhouse Rock! was a series of educational musical shorts that played on Saturday mornings on ABC in the 70's and 80's. They taught about Math and Science (I absolutely hated those), as well as Grammar and History (loved those).

Here are some of my favorites ... anyone else remember these?...

Smarter Than The Average Bear

Cindy Bear: It's the time for whispering sweet nothings in one's ear. 

Yogi Bear: Now that I can oblige. 

Cindy Bear: Oh, Yogi. 

Yogi Bear: Nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Nooothing. And because you're such a good kid, here's another nothing, for nothing.

For Sarah Palin

School House Rock is almost certainly too commie/librul/etc. for Sarah Palin - but she should really think about borrowing the DVD set. Mama Wasillbilly is obviously too lazy to read a book, so maybe cartoons could teach her the basics about The U.S. Revolution:

Those Pesky Bears

I wonder if this also explains Yogi Bear's obsession with "PIC-A-NIC baskets"??

Duuuuuuude...

Sounds Like A Job For Rikki-Tikki-Tavi

I was 8 years old in 1975 when the Chuck Jones TV special, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi aired - and I've loved it ever since. The story, based on a section of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, tells the tale of a fearless mongoose - Rikki-Tikki-Tavi - and his epic battle against two of India's meanest cobras - Nag and Nagaina.

So ever since 1975, any time I hear a story about snake infestaions, I alway think to myself "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi could take care of that!" This was the exact reaction I had today when I read about this house (above) in Idaho which is infested with THOUSANDS of snakes!

   

Gross! But TRUST - Rikki could totally handle that mess. Check him out in the orignal 1975 animated story I fell in love with as a child:

 

Casper The Friendly Ghost

The comments in THIS POST made me go searching for the theme song from Casper The Friendly Ghost - a favorite from my childhood. I haven't heard this tune in over 30 years, but I immediately remembered every note, just like that Casper-loving little boy from way back in the day.

BTW, it'll probably another 30 years until I get this damn song outta my head!

For Froggy...

Maybe NOW I'll Understand the Cartoons
