In the two stage musicals she sings (and fleetingly on the cast recordings, speaks) with a sweet, melodic voice. In "Little Mary Sunshine" she played an old school operetta heroine, delivering parody songs with unironic charm. In "Hello Dolly" she had the gentle romantic numbers that balanced the showstoppers fitted…

Do Batman and Wonder Woman realize he's now seen her naked — and handled her extensively while she was thus? As a pig, but still.

How about real people who got animated as themselves — aside from Scooby Doo Movies and other gimmicky guest spots ("It's our favorite star, Stony Curtis!")?

"Saturday Superstar Movie" included several one-shot adaptations that may have been pilots: "That Girl", "Nanny and the Professor", "Lost in Space", "Gidget" and "Daffy Duck Meets the Groovy Ghoulies" (which I suspected was a test of Flimation's ability to do Looney Tune characters. Filmation did get licensed to do…

"Cool McCool", a show "created" by Bob Kane, was as close as they could  legally get. A preening but clumsy spy, who always sounded to me like Jack Benny, would face silly versions of Batman villains and invariably provoke his boss to launch him out of the building by ejector seat. One-note gimmicks like a mustache…

Who has hi-def and could identify what Leela was reading when Fry and Bender shoved her off the sofa? My best guess was something of the 20th Century.

The Nixon re-edit was actually less amusing than the reality of "Speed Racer" and other early anime being purified through translation:

Anybody old enough to remember "The Peter Principle"?
Very simply, it was a satircal book along the lines of "Parkinson's Law" that proposed since everybody in a corporation is ultimately promoted to a job beyond his/her competence and left there, eventually your entire company is staffed by incompetents.

Homer, ominously: "You make me go . . . go . . . "
Marge, helpfully: "Go crazy?"
Homer, suddenly an old-time entertainer: "DON'T MIND IF I DO!"

I remember they had a song, "My Old Man's a [fill in occupation]", a lightly comic thing about Dad being, say, a fireman, who wore a fireman's pants and a fireman's shoes (etc) and came home to  read the fireman's news. I think they did different performances, because I can't figure them making all the remembered…

Did Rocky and Bullwinkle ever even know Boris and Natasha's real names? The villains are working under some alias every time they meet ("Allow me to introduce myself . . . ") and our heroes, as far as I can remember, never catch on.

"Today's lesson is mighty important!"
"BULLWINKLE IS A . . . "
"Not THAT lesson. THIS lesson!"

Aesop was played by another old movie reliable, Charlie Ruggles. For some reason he didn't get the prominent billing Horton received on each cartoon.

Sort of a clone of R&B, notable for having Hans Conried voicing Waldo Wigglesworth, an old-school con man who accompanied Hoppity Frog (a Rocky clone) and Fillmore Bear (a Bullwinkle clone).

There was a brief period when Disney's video arm released a serious of Rocky & Bullwinkle VHS tapes with a lot a fanfare. There might have been some characters working the park.

One of the silent-movie openings declared "In the late 1800s Canada was overrun by Canadians and smugglers . . ."

Daffy does visit JW's office to pitch his script for "The Scarlet Pumpernickel"

Another deleted scene from an upcoming NY episode. Michael is recognized and pursued by an angry Devon, who looks like he might be homeless. We don't see the actual confrontation — that would have too cringeworthy. We get a talking head of Michael saying it was good to see him again and get "closure."

In the commentary for the episode he directed, Stephen Merchant mentioned a deleted gag where he offered recently engaged Jim and Pam a ring that had been in his family  . . . awhile. It had a Star of David on it.

Early on they'd reference the big box office supply stores — Michael, explaining the business to visiting kids I think, casually admitted "they're killing us." Was it Staples that was in for product placement? I remember a sort of ad with Kevin getting a shredder and using it to make cole slaw.
In the convention…
