| 30317 | Famous Duos | During the war years of the 1940's Heckle and Jeckle were popular, very popular. In fact there was another Terrytoons duo that found a following, Gandy Goose and Sourpuss. <div><br><div><iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K1Dikatw_Gw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div> | eddstarr | Mar 23, 2016 |  |
| 30316 | Quote and Smilies not working? | So I've found one thing that can cause the quote function to not work. If you include a ' (apostrophe) in your signature, it can disable the quote function.<br> | Vaporman87 | Mar 23, 2016 | |
| 30315 | Forgotten Cartoons | That's an odd thing to air on a Saturday afternoon. <br> | Vaporman87 | Mar 23, 2016 | |

This series was inspired by the RCA Music Collection set as stories told by limited animation. This series pre-dated the 3 Stooges cartoon but I also saw this in a "before school" cartoon show in the early 1960's.</div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><b>-end quote</b></div></i></blockquote>The style of animation (or lack thereof) reminds me of the old Marvel superhero cartoons from the same time period.<br> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote><br><div>Yes, one of the things I remember from the early 60's was the variety of cartoons that were really just moving "stills", but "Mel-O-Toons" was just one of many series that were actually music videos. One series was based around narrated children's stories originally released as 78 rpm records, brought to television by adding animation, cheap animation, lol.</div><div><br></div><div>In the years following WWII the Navy guys who were my father's buddies used to tell me stories about the cartoons they saw while overseas in Europe. In my own hometown many ex-servicemen found work at local TV and radio stations, some had contacts in Europe and Asia that were able to send one-of-a-kind cartoon shorts for local broadcast only, many I may never see again, not even on YouTube. But I will keep looking.</div><div><br></div><div>Meantime, here's another Peer Gynt story, this time in Arabia.

My local CBS affiliate ended the broadcast in 1971 but it was still seen in other parts of the country a couple years after that. Many people don't know that the New York Philharmonic and Leonard Bernstein aired Saturday concerts on television all through the 1960's. Never seen anything like it since! </span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DSwWM_jGBcY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Mar 23, 2016 | |
