Following is a collection of bumpers from The Porky Pig Show, some of which made their way to syndication, while others were left out of the mix.
It's clear that WB recycled some footage from some of Porky's shorts, with Mel Blanc dubbing in new dialogue. In addition, newer bumpers produced by Hal Seeger including Porky interacting with Elmer Fudd, who sounds like it's either Blanc or Hal Smith (Davey & Goliath, The Andy Griffith Show). The open & close, sans closing credits, close the video.
We had this next item up before, but it got taken down a ways back. Now, it's back.
"It" is Hanna-Barbera's musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, adding the subtitle, Or, What's a Nice Kid Like You Doing in a Place Like This?, just to show how loose an adaptation it is.
Sponsored by Coca-Cola & Rexall, this primetime special, produced for ABC, features Janet Waldo in the title role, plus Sammy Davis, Jr., Bill Dana (who co-wrote it), Howard Morris, Alan Reed, Mel Blanc, and much more.
Edit, 6/3/25: The video has been deleted by YouTube. All we now can offer is a screencap of the rare soundtrack LP cover:
From Paula Abdul's debut CD, "Forever Your Girl", comes this amusing little number that pays tribute to Gene Kelly's legendary dance partnership with Jerry (as in, Tom & Jerry, of course), as Paula Abdul is paired with MC Skat Kat, who seems very interested in Paula.
Here's "Opposites Attract":
This was an era where Captain Kangaroo expanded to six days a week, so CBS could program a full 6 hour schedule, mostly with reruns.
For example, Jonny Quest was acquired from ABC to help fill out the lineup. The Road Runner Show was dropped down to the bottom of the schedule. It would expand to an hour the next year, moving to an earlier time as The Bugs Bunny-Road Runner Hour, with a portion of the open left intact.
Here's an ad:
He took his ring name from the late punk rocker from the Sex Pistols, and made his own legend.
Sid Vicious (Sid Eudy), or, in WWE, Sid Justice or Sycho Sid, made his debut in 1987 on the independent circuit, including a stint in Memphis, before signing with the NWA and World Championship Wrestling.
At first, Vicious was part of a tag team, the Skyscrapers, with former football player Dan Spivey. managed by Teddy Long. However, after a few months, Vicious left, with Mean Mark Callous (Mark Calaway, aka The Undertaker) replacing Vicious. By the time Vicious returned, the Skyscrapers were no more, and Vicious instead joined the Four Horsemen.
In the summer of 1991, however, Vicious came to the then-World Wrestling Federation as Sid Justice, enabling Vince McMahon to copyright the new persona. Sid started as a babyface, and in one of his last matches in that role, took on Big Bully Busick (Nick Busick) in the latter's final match.
What the title of Dennis Marks' tale refers to isn't so much Mark Twain's iconic juvenile, but, rather, a manuscript for the book, stolen by a fortune hunting outlaw while Twain, nee Samuel Clemens, is back home in Hannibal, Missouri, for a sort of homecoming.
Enter The Lone Ranger (William Conrad).
Sylvester goes it alone, and is silent for most of the picture, in "A Kiddies Kitty".
In it, we're introduced to Suzanne (Lucille Bliss), who has some, ah, issues with her toys. So, when Sylvester needs to escape a bulldog, he ends up showered with more affection and care than he'd expected....
