Tooniversary: Daniel Boone (1981)

 Recent research has revealed that CBS' Famous Classic Tales actually continued all the way to 1984, even though the output had significantly decreased by the end of the series.

From 1981, Hanna-Barbera's Australian division serves up a different look at "Daniel Boone". You see, the reason Boone, as played by Fess Parker from 1964-70 on NBC, had a coonskin cap was because Parker was associated with the cap from his time as Davy Crockett for Disney a few years earlier.

Richard Crenna joins H-B regulars Michael Bell, Janet Waldo, and John Stephenson for this rendition of "Boone". Mind the video issues.
