That's him! He actually spun off to two whole episodes for himself. (I was going to post about H & J if nobody got any of the others.)

BTW, movie theaters may once have shown "Katzenjammer Kids" cartoon features, but they were never aired on TV (as near as I can discover.) However, the cartoon "Captain and the Kids" DID air on TV, based on the strip that had expies of the KK, made by one of the regular cartoonists of the KK once upon a time. I had a vague memory of watching a KK cartoon once- but it was obviously "Captain and the Kids."

These cartoons are all TERRY TOONS. Sylvester and Tweety were Warner Brothers, so they were Merrie Melodies, Looney Tunes, or both (probably both.) For the curious, Merrie Melodies was once for those cartoons centered around MUSIC. Then the lines got blurred, then erased. Looney Tunes' Sylvester is a CAT. Terry Toons' Sylvester was a FOX. Also, I once saw Tweety with a BLUE hat, a la Little Lord Fauntleroy. This birdy usually wore a hat, and that hat was always (AFAIK always) green. Go ahead and run the question past Mrs Bean. Terry Toons tended to air a LONG time ago, but a few aired into the 70s, and there was a very brief attempt at new cartoons decades later.

I was unclear. All the ones I began with were obscure. I was going to resort to adding more choices if everyone drew a blank. A) IS "Tom Terrific." I guessed you'd name him first. (D) was not "the Katzenjammer Kids." (D) was actually a pair of animals who were twin brothers. Other than (A) and (B), these were all animals. I'll leave the rest up for the rest of the day, so that the others have a shot at naming something else for laughs, but you DO have the round.

"btw, not to get off subject, whatever happened to Dave Craley?" "He's on Facebook. FB, from time to time, suggests I friend him." "Anyone foolish enough to trust FB should not be surprised at the results. They (the results) WON'T be to their (the user's) liking." "I don't see how that's germane to the question or the response. But thanks for letting us know how you feel. Also, my point is that if Thomas wants to know what's up with Mr Craley, he could go ask him himself. " It was germane to the response. FB isn't in the business of being in the user's best interests. It would not surprise me if it kept recommending vpw critics and survivors (FOR EXAMPLE) to "friend" vpw apologists and defenders, since both mention him and "seem interested" in him. (And yes, FB IS one way to contact people, which might work for the OP.)[/b]

Ok, starting from the obscure to the less-obscure...... One round, we met "Hector Heathcote" of Terrytoons. That studio, once upon a time, put out a bunch of cartoons. This round will be based on identifying one or more. Answer any ONE correctly to take the round. A) This black-and-white cartoon featured a shape-changing doodle and his dog, Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog. His hat was shaped like a funnel and was the source of his powers. He seemed to think of himself as some sort of super-hero. In an attempt to revive him, Haley Joel Osment was cast to be his voice actor. TV Guide rated him in their list of Top 50 Greatest TV Cartoon Characters. B) This inept super-team was invented by Ralph Bakshi. They included Strong Man, Rope Man, Tornado Man, Cuckoo Man, and Diaper Man (a super baby, not drawn as an adult despite an adult voice.) C) Creekmud Junction, Tennessee had a canine lawman, who was white and wore a black hat. D) These mischievous twin brothers got into all sorts of trouble, and didn't seem to have individual names. Their Papa was played for comedic value and had a short temper and was as inept as most Dads on TV at the time. E) This little black duck was sometimes played as a duck on a farm, and sometimes as an orphan looking for a home. An attempt at a revival had him voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. F) This little brown mouse had a clever name, but otherwise seems to have nothing noteworthy, and has faded into obscurity. G) This little yellow canary had a speedy voice and a green hat. His foe was Sylvester the Fox. H) This dopey dog spun off into his own cartoon for two whole episodes. He's remembered more for being a gadfly for 2 mischievous characters who had their OWN cartoon. I) This bow-tied goose had a voice patterned after Ed Wynn. He actually appeared in the crowd at the end of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Some of these cartoons appeared in comic books. (I) appeared in one that was put out by Timely Comics (before they became Atlas, which was before they became Marvel Comics.) Can anyone get any of these from this list? I could have named {B), but my money's on George naming (A).

I actually couldn't go further on my own. All of my guessing was from the Flintstones' episode "Shinrock-A-Go-Go" with the "Beau Brummelstones" (the band did their own song in the episode.) I used to think that it was "ShiMrock" and it spoofed something called "Shimmy", but later heard that it was "ShiNrock" spoofing "Shindig." So, I had 2 names, and I had to try to fit either to something the episode spoofed. I'll see what I can come up with. As you see, putting up a few, related, obscure shows gives a better chance than hoping a SINGLE such show triggers a memory!

Yes. For further discussion, please go back a page in this thread and follow the links to your threads of choice for the discussions of choice.

The other way, it could have been taken to mean that we all started the discussions on our respective "sides", and stayed there. I reversed my position based on the discussions (and my own thoughts concerning the subject and the discussions), so obviously there was something there to get me to at least think about changing positions. Oh, and if anyone thought that this is an all-or-nothing deal- as someone suggested once- that someone either has to swallow what we were taught and say that was supernatural, or abandon the concept that God Almighty exists and works mightily in ANY supernatural ways ("false dilemma" which was a silly reason to hang onto a position), I say "No you don't- I'm right here!"

Anyone foolish enough to trust FB should not be surprised at the results. They (the results) WON'T be to their (the user's) liking.

Is #4 "Shindig"?

Is #2 "Shimmy"?

To be a bit more specific, when we began the discussionS, I disagreed with him, period, not the least for his approach. As the discussions unfolded, I followed what was said, and considered all the posts as well as all the responses I could make to every post. As it turned out, I was unable to refute the points made for one side, and attempts to refute it tended to center around fuzzing issues and obscuring them- the opposite of actually ANSWERING them, as I saw it. In short, the position advanced by twi and BGL had squat. (That was highlighted when I pointed out I had been hoping to see a post that brought up even one thing I had never considered, and was asked to post an example of something I had never considered, which is a lot like asking someone for an example of something they've forgotten.) So, I REVERSED positions on this issue. I don't have to LIKE truth to FACE truth, and that had been one of my core beliefs for a very long time. So, I'd be a believer who disagreed with him initially but later reversed positions to agree with him. (I didn't start the discussions agreeing with him.)

Having confirmed RW was in A.I., this is STILL where the next turn begins.

Why, then, is it listed on ROBIN WILLIAMS' Imdb page? https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000245/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 2001, A.I. Dr Know (voice) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212720/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt Hey, there's a "FULL CAST" button! Let's click on it! Wow. Ben Kingsley, Meryl Streep, and ROBIN WILLIAMS. Therefore, the previous link was not invalid, and is in effect. So, we leave off with Robin Williams.

The band that did this song was once promoted as "Dodge City" while they were trying to get a record deal, because somebody thought their regular name wouldn't convince the record companies. I once got them a little confused with Jethro Tull due to some record art resembling the latter group's style.

(When that show first aired, the movie in question was in its 2nd -IIRC- week in the theaters! We'd seen it and knew the ending, but some people had not!) Ok, let's see. The kid was in something else, as a kid robot, who else was in it? Haley Joel Osment A.I. Robin Williams (I'm pretty sure RW was in that robot movie AND the other one. If I'm wrong, I'm terribly sorry.)

I have a few guesses but would have no idea which shows the names would connect to. Can I post one for all of them. or both for all, or do I have to try one for one and the other for that one or another, or what?

Ever see a non-splinter Christian pull that sort of thing? That was vpw- specific. Stand when I enter the room, play "Hail to the Chief" when I come in to teach (he did that for a time), put together a nice, untraceable cash gift for me when I visit, buy me several bottles of booze for my visit, etc.

Another possibility being, of course, he wasn't nearly as successful as he was putting forth. Either is possible, and it's not like we care, anyway, He'll be forgotten soon enough.

(That particular HP movie included a number of people who weren't in the others, but if you're not sure, yes, I think he was in all of them.) ("Hecubus, have you seen that movie "Presumed Innocent" yet?" "Yes, I have. *gives away the ending*" "I haven't seen the movie yet! Evil!") Presumed Innocent Raul Julia Addams Family Values

(Once you posted, my subconscious decided to remember who was IN those movies, so we worked together on that round.) Austin Powers- International Man of Mystery Rob Lowe The Outsiders (that should open the field up a bit...)

Since George knew C was "Beat Bobby Flay", we'll cover the others. A) GUY'S GROCERY GAMES. ("Games in the Supermarket with Guy".) B) CUTTHROAT KITCHEN. ("Sabotage in the Kitchen.") C) BEAT BOBBY FLAY (George got this, "Defeat Bobby Flay") D) FOOD FIGHTERS ("Chef vs Novice") E) KNIFEFIGHT ("Knifefight")
