The Best of Warner Bros.: Hanna-Barbera 25 Cartoon Collection (Released May 21, 2013 by Warner Home Video) Another Looong DVD Review by Joe Torcivia SUMMARY: The most inexplicably confusing DVD I’ve ever reviewed! Yes, really! I’m almost at a loss as to what I can say about this collection, so bear with me, should this review ramble a bit. HERE is my original post on the coming of this set. It WILL help explain my confusion a bit, if you would be kind enough to read both my post and the linked announcement found therein. As best I can figure, Warner Bros., on the occasion of its turning 90, is celebrating its “centennial minus ten” with a series of special collections of the film, animation, television, and comic book properties that have made the studio my favorite of all creative entities. Hear! Hear! I second that emotion! Now, one doesn’t just become a monolithic presence in the field of entertainment without a few acquisitions along the way and so, sometime in the 1990s (like DC Comics before it), the Hanna-Barbera cartoon studio became a part of the vast Time Warner Communications empire. That acquisition would explain the existence of a special Hanna-Barbera collection to mark the 90th anniversary of Warner Bros. However, it doesn’t explain why “The Best of Warner Bros.: Hanna-Barbera 25 Cartoon Collection” looks as if it WERE ASSEMBLED BY a nonagenarian! I’m sorry, I should really take that back… Most nonagenarians would probably do a better – or at least a more LOGICAL – job of assembling this package! Honestly… I DON’T UNDERSTAND what this set is trying to accomplish – beyond creating a great big Hanna-Barbera goulash in a stewpot! Goulash is only good when you can EAT IT, Boo Boo! I get the distinct impression that no one tasked with the creation of this set has any historical knowledge of the glory days of Hanna-Barbera. A period I was privileged to witness first hand, and which probably accounts for the high regard in which I hold the first 10-12 years of the studio’s output, even today. Just "pick up whatever you find"! It looks as if they just picked up whatever they found lying around the Warner Vaults, adding just enough oddball, or other first time releases, to prevent it from completely becoming a double-dip affair, slapped a “Best of Warner Bros.” cover on it (…and even THAT COVER underwent revisions to replace a NON-Hanna-Barbera character inadvertently included in the character mélange. Touché Turtle now replaces Very-Late-Period-Looney-Tunes-Character “Rapid Rabbit”, between Yogi Bear and Quick Draw McGraw on the package) – and threw it out there to an unsuspecting public.   Look Between Yogi and Quick Draw... A late '60s Looney Tunes character! Sloppy! But, WHAT IS IT? Is it a celebration and historical survey of the glory days of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon studio? If so, why are Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear omitted from the set? If not for the success of that iconic pair, I doubt that H-B would have progressed much further!  I thought I was more "iconic" than the a-ver-age bear! Here’s the list of contents from the announcement. Compare it with the list of what we ACTUALLY GOT, and you will see that the collection appears to have had a very rough journey to completion… that is, if you can call ANYTHING like this without Huck and Yogi “complete”! For ease of comparison, that which was announced, but does not appear, is highlighted in RED. (Make note of ALL the RED, folks!) 1950s The Ruff & Reddy Show (1957) "Planet Pirates" (episode 1) Huckleberry Hound (1958) "Spud Dud" Yogi Bear (1958) "Snow White Bear" Hokey Wolf (1961) "Castle Hassle" Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks (1958) "A Wise Quack," The Quick Draw McGraw Show (1959) "Masking for Trouble" Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy (1959) "Gone to the Ducks" Snooper and Blabber (1959) "The Lion is Busy" with Snagglepuss Loopy De Loop (1959) "Wolf Hounded" 1960s The Flintstones (1960) "Love Letters on the Rocks" 30 mins.

Abbott and Costello: “Gadzooka” NEW (Abbott and Costello opening theme sequence plays again, once the cartoon is over!) Now, I expected some inevitable changes in content between the original announcement and the actual release. I even said so in my earlier post. But, I ask you… How does that former list emerge as the latter one? I’d sure like to know the story behind THAT! How, in the name of Holy-Hanna, do you omit Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear? Honestly, I can see dispensing with Ruff and Reddy, if one chooses to discount or minimize its “historical value” (especially as it would only have been Part One of a continuity)… but HUCK and YOGI? Really? And who, in the name of Equally-Holy-Barbera, edited those QUICK DRAW shows to play the opening and closing theme sequences SIX TIMES?! Not to mention surrounding the Snagglepuss cartoon with the Yogi Bear theme sequences – yet leave out Yogi himself? No Yogi... but even J. Evil Scientist appears on the set, in a Snooper and Blabber "Double-Dip"! Indeed, why must a short cartoon even need to be surrounded by the overall theme of its “larger show”, if the show itself is not presented as such? For instance, does the “Atom Ant theme” need to surround the Atom Ant cartoon – and once again encircle the Hillbilly Bears cartoon? Do we really need this TWICE...  ...When we don't have the full show? Why not just add Precious Pupp and present an ENTIRE “Atom Ant Show” – complete with the opening and closing themes ONLY ONCE? This may very well be the sloppiest editing I’ve ever seen in a “professionally assembled” DVD! As if that isn’t enough sloppy editing for any DVD set, the familiar “Meet the Flintstones” theme plays over each disc’s Main Menu – but it is an “extended version” that is made so by the abrupt and outright JARRING insertion of repeat passages into the theme! You’ve got to hear this to believe it! I honestly thought the soundtrack was skipping, until I realized what it was! Yes, it was more JARRING than even THIS! Why does this need to be? Isn’t the Flintstones theme long enough to play over a menu as-is without additional passages, ripped from its innards, that sound as if they were GRAFTED ON with all the finesse of Dr. Frankenstein… or would that be Dr. Franken-STONE? We have TWO Quick Draw McGraw shows! That SOULD be great news, because only FOUR such shows have been previously released on authorized DVD (Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s Volumes One and Two) – but BOTH shows here are repeat-releases of THOSE SAME SHOWS! None of the vast amount of unreleased Quick Draw material, which COULD have appeared for this special occasion, did! The Peter Potamus cartoon is new to DVD, but the Yippee, Yappee, and Yahooie (a component part of the original “Potamus” show) is not! And, only TWO of those shows were previously released. Double-dips are unavoidable, especially if you’re trying to create an overall survey of H-B’s peak period. I expect that. You can’t do something of this nature without The Flintstones, Top Cat, or Magilla Gorilla – and they’ve already been released in their entirety. Okay to Double-Dip. Where double-dips should NOT occur are series where there is still a wealth of unreleased material, such as Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Peter Potamus, Atom Ant, and Secret Squirrel. (That’s still a LOT of unreleased stuff, isn’t it?) NOT okay to Double-Dip! Especially TWICE on one set! The ONLY Extra Feature, on what should have been a very special collection, is a repeat of the “Here Comes a Star” tele-promotion piece to herald the coming of THE MAGILLA GORILLA SHOW in early 1964. Admittedly, it’s a nice look at the studio at its creative and professional height, with Bill and Joe getting lots of air time, hosting announcer George Fenniman, and promoting Magilla. Maybe I should "promote" SAFETY, instead! We'll do the PROMOTING around here... And do-oon't you for-get it! While it has already appeared on the MAGILLA GORILLA set of 2006, I suppose it’s worth including just for the visit with Bill and Joe! It WOULD have been nice to see something new, created or uncovered for this supposedly special occasion, though. Ah, but, here's a plus... a tre-men-dous plus! ...Take this down, Ding! Okey-dokey, Hokey! That Hokey's the greatest at.. at... whatever it is he does!! On the Plus Side, we have the DVD debut of Hokey Wolf – with not one, but two cartoons featuring the Phil Silvers-inspired character. And, speaking of wolves, we are treated to the first authorized DVD appearance of Loopy De Loop, as well. The Flintstones episode, “Love Letters on the Rocks”, was an unexpected – but excellent – choice to represent the series, plucked from the more adult-oriented First Season, and with “presumed marital infidelity” as its subject matter. The dialogue was particularly enjoyable throughout, and Jean Vander Pyl may have turned in one of her best performances as Wilma. “Love Letters on the Rocks” is the episode that introduced private-eye “Perry Gunnite” – a clever name-melding of then-TV icons “Perry Mason” and “Peter Gunn”, with the character of Gunnite coming across as a superb send-up of Craig Stevens’ “stony” (pardon) portrayal of Peter Gunn. Craig Stevens as "Peter Gunn" Raymond Burr as "Perry Mason"... Let's put their names together... ...And you get PERRY GUNNITE! Even the intrigue-style music, when Gunnite first enters the scene, is a right-on tribute to Henry Mancini’s underscore to PETER GUNN, which was used to open many episodes of that series. (I never realized how great a homage it was until seeing PETER GUNN more recently!) Kudos to composer Hoyt Curtin for that! Ya think Hoyt Curtin had this album? Though his TV career was “not such a much”, Perry Gunnite would remain a mainstay of the Flintstones comic books throughout the sixties – and even find his way into the ‘90s Flintstones run, published by Archie Comics. Does this ever happen to Peter Gunn? Actually, it HAS! The Touché Turtle cartoon was a true highlight of the set. Alas, only two of these have been released to DVD. Though there were never any on-screen credits, this series has Michael Maltese written all over it. It also introduces (if only in NAME) “Ricochet Rabbit” – not the Western character that would appear two years hence, but a super-fast varmint, the type of which Maltese would have plagued Quick Draw McGraw with a year or so prior. This is strictly my opinion but, wisely, the announced ‘70s material bit the dust, along with some of the more questionably chosen very late sixties stuff. Oddly, Scooby-Doo (from today’s perspective, perhaps the most famous H-B toon of them all) is not represented. I commend Warner’s uncharacteristic restraint in not reflexively shoehorning Scooby into this set, as he is available in SOOOO many other video venues. Finally, if there was one thing I was certain would be omitted – but, miraculously, was not – it would be the Abbott and Costello cartoon! …Though it is misattributed on the menu as a 1968 production, when the cartoon itself says 1967. The animated Abbott and Costello series, having debuted in 1967, was one of the very last of its breed… a five-minute cartoon short, designed to be “plugged-into” an afternoon, locally-hosted “kiddie-show”. Not unlike THESE made-for-TV Popeye cartoons. The once-popular after-school “host” format was in its own “last-gasps” by 1967, and I’m hard-pressed to think of any “plug-in” toons that might have come later. Batfink, perhaps? "Move over, Mel Blanc and Daws Butler -- Bud's on First!" A definite highlight to this series was Bud Abbott providing his own voice. This entry, “Gadzooka”, plays as if it may have been written by the great Michael Maltese (in sort of a Snooper and Blabber mode), whose own career at H-B was winding down, as the studio moved away from short gag cartoons, and is appropriate considering all the monsters the pair “met” in their later theatrical films! H-B also did “Laurel and Hardy” in a similar format, one season prior. H-B's Laurel and Hardy OVERALL: As I said in my earlier post: “This looks to be the most significant Hanna-Barbera DVD release in years!” Yet, somehow, Warner Home Video found a way to make this package (…to be kind) “less significant”. What should have been a celebration of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon studio at its best, was less a “celebration” and more of the kind of party planned by a butcher with eight thumbs, that was given on the wrong day, and where not all of the invitations were sent out. It's like no party I had before - that's for sure! I’ll end the review the way I began it, and say I’m still at a loss as to what to say about this collection. Despite all this “written analysis”, I still don’t know what I’ve got here! It’s not even a comprehensive survey of Hanna-Barbera cartoons and, thus, good for those who are less-steeped in H-B lore than I. Not, with some of the staggering omissions exhibited. I’ve never reviewed a DVD where I was honestly unable to recommend it to SOME segment of the population – but this may finally be it. ...Even though there are still many things to like about it. Okay, I’ll recommend this to zany Hanna-Barbera completists, like myself, who will enjoy the debut appearances of Hokey Wolf, Loopy De Loop, and Abbott and Costello – and the handful of other New-to-DVD installments, while pondering the collection that might have been. The rest of you can remain as confused as I am! Yeah, Huck... I agree. Let's turn the page on this, and get the rest of your cartoons released!

Finding appropriate shows that your young boys will enjoy can be a challenge. Here are some shows that are sure to be a hit. They are 'classics' for a reason.

The Southern roots of the beloved 1970s television show

Ah, the 80's. Do I really need to say more? Over the weekend I was going through some old photos and got a bit nostalgic so, here we are. I thought I'd do a little Memory Lane series for all you late 70's - early 80's babies. Punky Brewster - It's funny how this mismatched multicolored look has come back. Scooby-Doo (Pre Scrappy-Doo) - Yes, I still watch it. Solid Gold - Had you asked me when I was little what I wanted to be when I grew up, my first choice would have been a Solid Gold dancer. Runner up was a dolphin trainer. The Love Boat - Sadly the only thing I remember from this show is the theme song. The loooooooove boooooat... Thundercats - Saturday mornings I was glued to the tv. This show is why. Yeah, Lion-O is hot. Mr. Belvedere - I secretly wanted him to be our butler. MacGyver - Thanks to this show I know how to stop a bomb with a hockey ticket. Knight Rider - I LOVED this show when I was little. Before Hasselhoff got all drunk and started getting taped by his daughter eating cheeseburgers and ranting like a lunatic. JEM (And the Holograms) - Another show I totally loved. I think I even had a cassette tape with their music. Gumby - Yes, I still watch this as well. There was an R-rated gumby spoof on YouTube a while ago that was hysterical but it's a little too R-rated for me to post here. (Bad language voice-over) Growning Pains - Didn't we all have a crush on Kirk Cameron? Fraggle Rock - I remember watching this on HBO before school. Fame - Another show that made me want to dance by butt off. And the remake that they did last year is pretty amazing too! CHPS - I love me some Eric Estrada! The Jetsons - I actually found out this debuted in the 1960's! Who knew? I wonder if they have this on DVD... Hmmm... Hope you enjoyed the little trip down memory lane! Up next - Memory Lane: 1980's Fads

Tim Lusher: The small screen takes a trip back to the 1980s this month, with dramas about Boy George, the day of Charles and Diana's wedding, an adaptation of Martin Amis's Money and the finale of Ashes to Ashes. But which are the most memorable shows of that decade?

Being an adult sucks sometimes. Recently I have been longing for the simpler days of my childhood; a time where I could do and say silly things and nobody would think me nuts. So I am led to writing this hub; the first in a series of hubs that...

1964! What a great year for TV for a kid. I loved the magic shows like My Favorite Martian and Bewitched. they were ok to watch with parents in the room. Hollywood gave us The Munsters and The Addams Family that year as well. So I thought I'd share a bit of my top 10 favorites from 1964 for you youngsters out there... :) 1. Bewitched (1964–1972) A witch married to an ordinary man cannot resist using her magic powers to solve the problems her family faces. Bewitched is an American television sitcom fantasy series, originally broadcast for eight seasons on ABC from September 17, 1964, to March 25, 1972. It is about a witch who marries an ordinary mortal man and vows to lead the life of a typical suburban housewife. The show enjoyed great popularity, finishing as the number two-rated show in America during its debut season, staying in the top ten for its first three seasons, and just missing this mark with an eleventh-place ranking for both seasons four and five. The show continues to be seen throughout the world in syndication and on recorded media. 2. The Addams Family (1964–1966) The misadventures of a blissfully macabre but extremely loving family. The Addams Family is an American horror/black comedy sitcom based on the characters from Charles Addams' New Yorker cartoons. The 30-minute television series was created by David Levy and Donald Saltzman and shot in black-and-white, airing for two seasons on ABC from September 18, 1964, to April 8, 1966, for a total of 64 episodes. The show is also notable for its opening theme that was composed and sung by Vic Mizzy. 3. Gilligan's Island (1964–1992) Seven men and women are stranded on an uncharted island following a torrential storm. Gilligan's Island is an American sitcom created and produced by Sherwood Schwartz. The show had an ensemble cast that featured Bob Denver, Alan Hale Jr., Jim Backus, Natalie Schafer, Russell Johnson, Tina Louise, and Dawn Wells. It aired for three seasons on the CBS network from September 26, 1964, to April 17, 1967. The series followed the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to survive on an island on which they had been shipwrecked. Most episodes revolve around the dissimilar castaways' conflicts and their unsuccessful attempts, for whose failure Gilligan was frequently responsible, to escape their plight. 4. The Munsters (1964–2004) A family of friendly monsters has misadventures, never quite understanding why people react to them so strangely. The Munsters is an American sitcom depicting the home life of a family of benign monsters starring Fred Gwynne as Frankenstein's monster-type head-of-the-household Herman Munster; Yvonne De Carlo as his vampire wife, Lily Munster; Al Lewis as Grandpa, the over-the-hill vampire who relishes talking about the "good old days"; Beverley Owen (later replaced by Pat Priest) as their teenage niece Marilyn Munster, whose all-American beauty made her the family outcast; and Butch Patrick as their half-vampire, half-werewolf son Eddie Munster. 5. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964–1968) The two top agents of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.) fight the enemies of peace, particularly the forces of T.H.R.U.S.H. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is an American spy-fiction television series[1] produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Television and first broadcast on NBC. It follows secret agents, played by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, who work for secret international counterespionage and law-enforcement agency called U.N.C.L.E. The series premiered on September 22, 1964, completing its run on January 15, 1968. 6. Shindig! (1964–1966) A musical variety show featuring the biggest acts in rock-n-roll performing their latest hits. Shindig! is an American musical variety series which aired on ABC from September 16, 1964, to January 8, 1966. The show was hosted by Jimmy O'Neill, a disc jockey in Los Angeles at the time who also created the show along with his wife Sharon Sheeley, British producer Jack Good, and production executive Art Stolnitz. The original pilot was rejected by ABC and David Sontag, then Executive Producer of ABC, redeveloped and completely redesigned the show. A new pilot with a new cast of artists was shot starring Sam Cooke. That pilot aired as the premiere episode. 7. Flipper (TV Series 1964–1967) Flipper is an American television program first broadcast on NBC from September 19, 1964, until April 15, 1967. Flipper, a bottlenose dolphin, is the pet of Porter Ricks, Chief Warden at Coral Key Park and Marine Preserve (a fictional version of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, Florida), and his two young sons, Sandy and Bud. The show has been dubbed an "aquatic Lassie", and a considerable amount of children's merchandise inspired by the show was produced during its first run. 8. Daniel Boone (1964–1970) Daniel Boone is an American action-adventure television series starring Fess Parker as Daniel Boone that aired from September 24, 1964, to May 7, 1970, on NBC for 165 episodes, and was produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Arcola Enterprises, and Fespar Corp. Ed Ames co-starred as Mingo, Boone's Cherokee friend, for the first four seasons of the series. 9. Jonny Quest (1964–1965) The Quest family and their bodyguard investigate strange phenomena and battle villains around the world. 10. Valentine's Day (1964–1965) Valentine Farrow works for O.D. Dunstall in a New York publishing house. He is young and single and constantly chased by women. While in the Army, he was saved by "Rocky" Sin, a poker-playing con artist, who now serves as Farrow's valet.
