Happy 106th to Norman Lloyd, known for his work with Alfred Hitchcock, as well as appearing in St. Elsewhere and Dead Poets Society. His latest acting credential was in Trainwreck (2015).
Think this year is the first we get any PSAs with "We're all in this together"? Think again.
(Just the first one...I think)
MeTV will be airing The Flintstones Meet Rockula and Frankenstone at 9 PM EST tonight. This marks the first time, I think, that the channel has aired anything Flintstones beyond the original show.
Not to toot my own horn, but I share a birthday today with Dan Gilvezan (Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, The Transformers) and Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy et al.).
R.I.P. Marge Champion, who was the model for Disney's Snow White.
Dedicating this post to country singer-songwriter Ray Pennington, who was killed in a house fire Wednesday. He was 86.
"I'm a Ramblin' Man", written by Pennington, as made famous by Waylon Jennings:
Happy Half-April Fools' Day!
No, no, just kidding.
How about happy 28th to Cartoon Network?
@RandomMe Aw, you beat me to the punch with The Flintstones' 60th anniversary (I was also going to say it's been 1 year since MeTV started airing it). Ah well.
Though, I should note The Jetsons started in 1962, so it's two years for them.
Mac Davis, Helen Reddy, AND Tower of Power bassist Rocco Prestia? Yikes.
R.I.P. Kevin Burns, film and television producer, director and screenwriter whose credentials are vast. One of the most recent being the 2018 reboot of Lost in Space.
To the best of my knowledge, the oldest living American voice actor now is Larry Storch (97), whose credentials include Out of the Inkwell ('60s revival), Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales, The Batman/Superman Hour, the Seven Arts era of Warner Bros. Cartoons, and Groovie Goolies. His latest voiceover work was in the late '80s, w/ Foofur, Garfield and Friends and an unaired Beetle Bailey special.
R.I.P. LyricWiki, which closed down today.
I made use of it one last time (for a lot of stuff!) late last night, as it was then that I discovered it was about to shut down.
After nearly a year, The Flintstones must still be doing well for MeTV. Lately the station has been sponsored in part by Pebbles cereal; they even air one of the contemporary commercials for it sometimes.
Did you know that there was an Empire Carpet commercial featuring [Son of] Svengoolie (among other roles by Rich Koz)?
R.I.P. Anatoliy Prokhorov, co-founder of the Russian animation studio Pilot, which worked on Mike, Lu & Og. He also produced Kikoriki.
Belated R.I.P. to Hal Singer, bandleader, saxophone player and Tulsa race massacre survivor.
This is interesting:
A February 19, 1992 article from The New York Times reported the launch of a cartoon channel from Turner. It was written by NYT regular Bill Carter.
A couple years later, Carter was one of two guests on the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast episode "CHiPs", alongside talk show host Joe Franklin. It was that same year that Carter got The Late Shift published.
Marge Simpson is trending on Twitter. I won't say why, though.
Johnny Bravo (from Cartoon Network, not The Brady Bunch) is trending on Twitter, thanks to someone who sort of resembles him. -
