From Primetime to Daytime: Steve Urkel on trial (Family Matters,1994)

 From season 5 of Family Matters:

Steve Urkel (Jaleel White, Sonic The Hedgehog) is put on trial in the school cafeteria when he is accused of blowing up the school lab by a jealous rival. Laura (Kellie Shangyne-Williams) acts as Urkel's lawyer, while the accuser, Dexter Thornhill (Robert Laughlin), is also the prosecutor, which proves to be his first mistake.

His last one? Laura shows us.

Missing from the picture: Guest star Tom Poston (ex-Newhart, Mork & Mindy, etc.) as the custodian. Thornhill did himself in by being a wee bit overconfident. And, yeah, Waldo had a classic moment of stupidity dressing as a Boy Scout when he's the bailiff. Bay-leaf, my butt.

Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits: Diamond Girl (1973)

 Seals & Crofts performed "Diamond Girl" on The Midnight Special in 1973. There's more from this same show that we'll play down the road.

In memory of Dash Crofts, who passed away the other day. Rest in peace.

That time Donna Summer guest-co-hosted American Bandstand (1978)

 In May 1978, ABC decided to try a sweeps stunt with American Bandstand, just to show that the ratings sweeps periods didn't leave out Saturday daytime.

Donna Summer is the guest co-host, joining Dick Clark for an all-disco show, including some of Donna's own songs.

Tooniversary: Dude Duck (1951)

 Donald Duck alone on a dude ranch. You'd think this vacation would go smoothly, but when the horse assigned to him doesn't want him to ride, well, chaos ensues.

Clarence Nash not only voices Donald, but does the vocal effects for the horses and....well, that would be telling. June Foray performs the women's voices.

Some college kids are wrapping up spring break today, so this will give you some idea of what spring break might've been like back in the 50's.

Rating: B.

You Know The Voice: Henry Corden (1961)

 Character actor Henry Corden didn't move into cartoon work, I think, until after he'd appeared in this 1961 episode of The Lawless Years. 

Henry's toon credits include The Flintstones, The Hillbilly Bears, Thundarr The Barbarian, and a collection of guest roles. I think he used the voice from this episode, "The Victor Gorido Story", in one of those cartoon gigs.

Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: Web Woman in Eye of The Fly (1978)

We had this next item before, but it was taken down, and has been reloaded to YouTube.

Web Woman meets Tsetse, a man turned into a man-fly.

Rating: B.

From Comics to Toons: Dick Tracy on Archie's TV Funnies (1971)

 Archie Comics, it appears, now has its own YouTube channel, or at least a fan-operated one. This one has no full episodes of 1971's Archie's TV Funnies, but a compilation of Dick Tracy shorts from the series (some standalone videos are incomplete). In this collection, Dick (John Erwin) is after:

88 Keys, recently rebooted in the current comic book from Mad Cave as an Irish musician-turned-would-be-vigilante (Either Erwin or Dallas McKennon).

The Mole (Howard Morris, since the voice is similar to Morris' characterization of Dilton Doiley).

Pruneface (McKennon).

Flattop (McKennon), in a short we've previously screened.

Mumbles (McKennon) & Stooge Viller (McKennon or Erwin or Morris), also in a previously screened short. Filmation, for some reason, gave Viller a new name.

Wikipedia's entry on the series is also incomplete, which is why I have to guess on a couple of the villains.

Archie & the gang are seen in short bits queuing up the shorts. There's a standalone short with Sketch Paree and Liver Lips, misidentified as Groovy Grove (who was actually a cop introduced in the comic strip around the same time), but that one is incomplete. Erwin voiced Liver Lips, and it was likely McKennon as Paree.
