Toon Rock: A Fifth of Beethoven (abridged) (2006)

 Seth MacFarlane and the producers of Family Guy paid homage to musical director Walter Murphy by inserting his 1975 chart topper, "A Fifth of Beethoven", into an episode of the series. It's under a minute, and, as we'll see, Meg gets left behind.....

Spooktober: A meeting with the teacher (The Munsters, 1966)

 From season 2 of The Munsters:

Eddie (Butch Patrick) is given an assignment to write about a "typical American family", like his own. That leads to the teacher (Pat Woodell, ex-Petticoat Junction) paying the Munsters a visit......

Retro Toy Chest: Remember Tiny Tears? (1960)

 An independent toy maker released Tiny Tears around 1960, and to best sell the product, hired ventriloquist Shari Lewis to pitch the product, with help from Lamb Chop:

Tiny Tears would stick around for a while, well into the 70's, if memory serves me correctly.

Tooniversary: The Girl Who Cried Vampire (Filmation's Ghostbusters, 1986)

 You've heard of the boy who cried wolf, right? Now, meet "The Girl Who Cried Vampire", as a chronic liar gets a reality check from Eddie (Peter Cullen). And check the vampires, reconstituted versions of Sam Dracula & Bella from The Groovie Goolies!

Toonfomercial: Remember Mr. Bubble? (1961)

 Ah, Mr. Bubble. A bubble bath for kids, introduced in 1961. This toonfomercial introduces the product.

I believe that is June Foray as the nearsighted parent.

Spooktober: The pilot for the Munsters Today (1987)

 A year before The Munsters Today hit the air, the producers presented a pilot for advertisers and, since the show would be syndicated, prospective stations.

As you'll see in this open, Herman (John Schuck, ex-McMillan & Wife, Holmes & YoYo), might've been bopping to the beat not of the theme song, but his dance moves suggest Madness' "One Step Beyond". If you've seen that video, you'll know what I mean. Co-starring Lee Meriwether (ex-Barnaby Jones, Time Tunnel), Jason Marsden, & Howard Morton.

I think Fred Gwynne might've been off making a movie, and was never considered for even a cameo.

The title is a misnomer (maybe): Our Gang in The First Seven Years (1930)

 Our Gang's "The First Seven Years" carries a 1929 copyright, but was released in 1930, seven years after the series began, so I guess the title actually represents an anniversary for the franchise.

Anyway, Jackie Cooper gets into a fight with Speck over the affections of Mary Ann. Let the chaos begin!
