The Fabulous Funnies turns 45 this year. Out of all the features in the series, Tom K. Ryan's Tumbleweeds only appeared in the opener, and was never seen again after Filmation reached an agreement with Ryan after a misunderstanding led them to assume that Ryan had signed off on using his cowboy character.
The umbrella title for this episode is "Animal Crack-Ups", and leads off with Alley Oop (Bob Holt) forced to give away his trusty dino-steed, Dinny, to the King because of a newly created tax the King has imposed. The lone Tumbleweeds entry, "Bean Stew", only goes a couple of minutes. Alan Oppenheimer plays 'Weeds with a modest Jimmy Stewart mimic, forgetting that Stewart shed his stuttering when on camera in his movies.
Rating: B.
