Name that TV Show

[hiway29]

Case in point, waysider."Fractured Fairy tales" was made for the "Rocky and Bullwinkle" show, not King Leonard and His Short Subjects.

Tooter Turtle WAS a part of the Leonardo show, along with the Hunter, for 'Total Television', not Jay Ward productions. Total also did Tennessee Tuxedo.

I'm not sure how these mixed syndication packages came to be, but they cause much confusion. At least to those who care-which might mean me.

As I said, I'm off for the day, and don't have a new quote handy. You are most welcome to take the next one, waysider.

my LAST word on this I PROMISE. I don't recall if Tooter was originally part of the Leonardo , or Tennessee Tuxedo show-but it would be appropriate for him to appear on either, since they were both Total' shows.

It's NOT appropriate to invade Jay Ward shows though.

[WordWolf]

New quote.

I bet you know a lot of my friends...Like, uh, Duke of Ellington, Count of Basie, Earl of Hines, Cab of Calloway, Satchmo of Armstrong?"

[hiway29]

I know this one, but I'm going to let someone else guess.

[WordWolf]

You are too kind.

I think they'll get it now....

"I bet you know a lot of my friends...Like, uh, Duke of Ellington, Count of Basie, Earl of Hines, Cab of Calloway, Satchmo of Armstrong?"

"In the name of my most royal majesty, I knight thee.

ARISE, Sir Loin of Beef!

ARISE, Earl of Cloves!

ARISE, Duke of Brittingham!

ARISE, Baron of Munchhausen!

ARISE, Essence of Myrrh! Milk of Magnesia! Quarter of Ten!"

Quiet, I'm hunting wabbits

[WordWolf]

Quiet, I'm hunting wabbits

wasway's got it-it's that wascally wabbit.

The thing I love from the SECOND quote I used, when he was knighing the

Sheriff of Nottingham by hitting him in the head with his scepter at each title...

at the end, the Sheriff says, woozily, "Your majesty is too kind", as he stands unsteadily.

Bugs makes an aside to the audience.

The line: "He's got lots of stamina!"

Go, wasway!

[wasway]

lets see how quick this one goes....

"BOOGER"

[WordWolf]

I'm gonna see if Raf chimes in on this one-

he's the reason I remember the answer so vividly...

[Raf]

I don't know how to take that...

[WordWolf]

I don't know how to take that...

I'm giving you first crack at the answer because I think it's only fitting.

I'm familiar with the episode, but the reason I made a note of it TO remember

the relevant scenes is your own comments on it.

So hurry up and broadcast the answer for everyone,

unless you want me to take it.....

[Raf]

It's been a decade, right? I have no recollection of this conversation, or the show this comes from.

[Tom Strange]

Is it Beavis and Butthead???

[WordWolf]

"BOOGER"

This is from the series pilot of WKRP IN CINCINNATI.

Johnny Fever (Johnny Caravello, aka Johnny Midnight, aka....)

had been fired from his previous job because he had said "Booger"

on the air, and someone complained.

The asst manager gave him a list of music-and rock albums-to play,

and told him he had a lot more freedom here-

he could even say "Booger" if he wanted.

*leaves*

Johnny sets up a rock album on the second turntable, then reaches for

the first turntable, playing some easy listening stuff.

"So long, elevator music.... No.....YEAH!" *rips album off turntable, destroying it*

*starts playing rock music*

*turns on mike*

"OW! This is Dr Johnny Fever!..." etc.

*turns off mike*

*turns on mike*

"Oh, by the way....I just wanted to say.... BOOGER!!!!!"

I've actually seen that last line quoted since then.

[wasway]

Without a doubt!!! a couple decades Raf... do it WW...

[Tom Strange]

I loved that show... a classic!

[WordWolf]

Ok, let's see here.....

"First you take a piece of meat, then you put it in some heat, then you shove it in a bun-"

"'Shove it in a bun?' We do not 'shove it in a bun!' We place it carefully!"

"Now there, little Dee-Dee, eat the nice jackass meat!"

"It is NOT jackass meat! Those are 100% BEEF PATTIES that we shove into those, I mean..."

"Principal Bradley smells badly."

[Raf]

Ah yes, I remember that KRP scene now! It's the pilot episode. Gad, it's been a long time!

[WordWolf]

"First you take a piece of meat, then you put it in some heat, then you shove it in a bun-"

"'Shove it in a bun?' We do not 'shove it in a bun!' We place it carefully!"

"Now there, little Dee-Dee, eat the nice jackass meat!"

"It is NOT jackass meat! Those are 100% BEEF PATTIES that we shove into those, I mean..."

"Principal Bradley smells badly."

"Who did it? Who stole the bracelet?"

"Which Doobie you be?"

"I can't help it if I'm fat! It runs in my family!"

Nobody runs in your family-they all waddle!"

"Mama?"

"What is it, baby?"

"I can't breathe...."

"Whichever team has the fancier helmets wins."

"We worship Mother Nature. And Ralph."

"Ralph? Who's Ralph?"

"Ralph represents all that which is good and pure.

Ralph is a head... of lettuce."

"YOU WORSHIP

A HEAD

OF LETTUCE?"

[Raf]

Momma I can't breathe is the giveaway...

What's Happenin!

[WordWolf]

Momma I can't breathe is the giveaway...

What's Happenin!

Correct!

[WordWolf]

"First you take a piece of meat, then you put it in some heat, then you shove it in a bun-"

"'Shove it in a bun?' We do not 'shove it in a bun!' We place it carefully!"

"Now there, little Dee-Dee, eat the nice jackass meat!"

"It is NOT jackass meat! Those are 100% BEEF PATTIES that we shove into those, I mean..."

This was from the "Bridgeburger" episode. Rerun wanted to be in their commercial, and wrote

a jingle which scandalized the executive, and they wanted Dee to do the commercial.

Even though she kept calling it 'jackass meat.'

"Principal Bradley smells badly."

This was from the "freedom of the press"/underground newspaper episode.

They printed this, and it was quoted a lot back at them.

"Who did it? Who stole the bracelet?"

They gave Ms Collins a gag gift anonymously-an empty box. But she recognized Raj's handwriting.

So they were going to pretend it had a bracelet which was stolen.

"Which Doobie you be?"

The Doobie Brothers episode.

"Hello. I be Roger Thomas-which Doobie you be?" on the phone.

"I can't help it if I'm fat! It runs in my family!"

Nobody runs in your family-they all waddle!"

Rerun-Dee exchange.

"Mama?"

"What is it, baby?"

"I can't breathe...."

Raj-Mrs Thomas exchange, which happened a few times in a few variations.

"Whichever team has the fancier helmets wins."

Dwayne's very successful method of picking winning football teams.

"We worship Mother Nature. And Ralph."

"Ralph? Who's Ralph?"

"Ralph represents all that which is good and pure.

Ralph is a head... of lettuce."

"YOU WORSHIP

A HEAD

OF LETTUCE?"

My alltime favourite What's Happening quote.

Rerun joined the Baba Ram Baba cult. Which was a scam for his money.

He shows up in saffron robes. Bald. With a tambourine.

Rerun realized it was a scam when he overheard the ringleader.

So he and the good group freed the cultists-and their money-

by having Mother Nature appear at a meeting and give the money back.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!

It's not nice to feel Mother Nature!" -Mrs Thomas.

You feel fulfilled knowing that now, right?

[WordWolf]

.....so it's Raf's turn.

[Raf]

"If Holly liked him so much, how come she punched him and told him he was weird."

"Boys and girls often punch or push or hit each other as a sign of affection."

"Punching and pushing and calling someone names means you like them?"

"Yeah, it can."

"Then the cowboys and Indians are lovers?"

A: "Funny the way things happen. I'm in here because of a silly old parking meter."

B: "You're kidding!"

A: "No, I went into a hardware store and when I came out, *there* was a policeman writing me a ticket."

B: "I don't believe it, they threw you in jail for a parking ticket."

A: "Well, in a roundabout way. You see when I put the shovel in the trunk, Walter's arm fell out."

B: "Who's Walter?"

A: "My husband."

B: "What was he doing in the trunk?"

A: "Not much. H was dead. I warned him about his snoring for years but he just wouldn't believe me. So last night I took a pair of my very best pantyhose, and I wrapped them around his neck... real tight. You know it was the first good night's sleep I've had in 31 years."

B: "Well, you look well rested."

A: "You don't snore, do you, dear?"

***

"Look, if I wanted a pen and coffee I'd have mugged a waitress. You know what, I don't need any more pens. Look at this. (shows a handful of pens out of his jacket pocket). And look at that, it's a Ronald Reagan pen, it's got no point."

[Tom Strange]

ahh... I think I know that one... Nanu-Nanu and Shazbut to you! It's M&M

[Raf]

Indeed.

The first is a Mork and Mindy exchange, the second is when Mindy is jailed and is next to this sweet but scary inmate, and the third is Mork shooing away a politician.
