Reviewer:sodapopdrew - - March 3, 2009 Subject: Just a small correction The name of the Burl Ives TV show was "O.K. Crackerby!"
Reviewer:babysprite - - November 27, 2008 Subject: Classic Bob Clampett There are instances in there that are classic Bob Clampett in the way he toys with material that would otherwise have been censored.
Remember the Warner Brothers Cartoon, "A Tale of Two Kitties" and the scene in which 'Catstello' makes a reference to the Hays Code and "the bird?"
The advertisements and trailers for upcoming new ABC television programs provide interesting historical context.
Reviewer:Mr_Know_It_All - - November 27, 2008 Subject: Funny Even In Black and White It's Saturday, September 11, 1965. The time - 11:30am in New York City.
This would be the second-to-last "Beanie and Cecil" episode to air on network television. The cartoons would be packaged individually to local TV stations beginning in the fall of '65. They would also begin to air in color, just the way Bob Clampett had produced them. 26 half-hour shows, and 78 cartoons were produced altogether.
ABC-TV used this time slot to promote some of its upcoming fall schedule. Look for scenes from a long-forgotten Burl Ives sitcom, "O.K. Crackenberry" here.
The cartoons themselves (3 of them), even in this grainy black and white format, are quick-witted, fast-pasced, and very very funny.
