| 33988 | Forgotten Cartoons | I'm repeatedly impressed by your knowledge of old, obscure cartoons and the history behind them. You wouldn't happen to work in the animation industry by any chance, would you? | jkatz | Feb 24, 2017 |  |
| 33987 | You might be a Bundy family member... | If you scored four touchdowns in a single game. | jkatz | Feb 24, 2017 | |

| 33984 | Forgotten Cartoons | This may require some explanation.<div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">When Filmation teamed up with CBS in 1965 the result was, "The NEW Adventures of Superman". In one powerful "Swoop", Saturday mornings in the USA woke up and televisions across the country suddenly went loud and colorful as the Man of Steel put criminals in their place.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">Buy 1966 - CBS owned SatAM as filmation unleashed a flood of new superheroes, some making their first appearance on television. </div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">A line was drawn in the sand and Hanna-Barbera was eager to cross it and take on Filmation directly. Saturday mornings exploded with every conceivable costumed hero you could imagine. And ABC made it clear that they would not let CBS steal the show. ABC made deals that led to an agreement with Marvel Comics to bring characters to Saturday mornings.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">But NBC was left in the dust as CBS and ABC fought it out for superhero cartoon supermency. NBC had cast it's fortune with DePatie-Freleng, creators of the "Pink Panther" empire. I think you see the problem here!</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">The Pink Panther has fans but the pink cat was no match for Filmation's and H-B's cavalcade of superheroes. With NBC putting the pressure on all of its content providers, DePatie-Freleng had to come up with something to keep the network happy. </div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/duFdGqduk5I/hqdefault.jpg"><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div>With DFE-Films striking out with one bad cartoon after another, NBC needed something to pair up with their only SatAM star, the Pink Panther. Better late than never - DFE came up with, "<b>Super President</b>".</div><div><br></div><div>And now you see the downside of being last to the superhero party. All the cool guys are spoken for.<br><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div></div> <div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:75.0%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UDZVrgbIzew?ecver=2" width="480" height="360" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div> | eddstarr | Feb 24, 2017 | |

| 33982 | What movie scene are you thinking of? | I'll have to see Private Benjamin again sometime. I don't remember that much about it. | Mr Magic | Feb 24, 2017 | |
