Enjoy....

I luv the scat singing!

More fun facts: The theme you hear is an assemblage  of different takes because the horns kept screwing up....

Welp in the Greys, but I gotta speak up for this classic banger of open and closing credits, probably the oldest of the bunch:

Crypto short form of Cryptology has been around for centuries... the study and deciphering of codes.... that can include racial and ethnic ones.....

That likeness is based on actor Gary Conway... who starred in “I was a Teenage Frankenstein” and the Irwin Allen SciFi television series, “Land of The Giants”..... and yea I’m that old .....

You sure that isn’t Keith Richards? ... Both... It can be both....

It was John Houston who directed Annie... Ford was dead by this time I think....

This Special misses the essential cruelty of Charles Schultz’s vision: Charlie Brown has no friends.... He soldiers on in spite of their and the universes’ indifference to him.

I can hear Sir Larry’s wheedling voice....

So... a prequel of sorts to Star Trek’s “Miri” .... Bonk Bonk!

Sick and tired of all this Ball to Ball coverage....

The flashback to the Newark Riots in the late 60's Tony had been a child (The Sopranos HBO series)

Because the world building of the original was deep and after 20 years of viewing and re-viewing canon? I mean it feels a little arbitrary downshifting Tony’s age by 10 years. And maybe a little insulting. If James Gandolfini were alive, we’d both hit Sixty. You can already go back half a century to wear wigs and…

Are you sure this is set in the 60's? James Gandolfini was my age. We were children in the 60s. The Sopranos had a flashback to the Newark riots of ‘68. Definitely a child. His hairstyle is John Tavoltaish which would place him somewhere in mid to late 70s (Scorcese’s Italian New York). That would be the correct date.

Then again... the name was meant to be an insult, used by Dracula....

“Of course you realize this is war”

Surely that was the idea.

Until today I didn’t know he was the voice of Hermie....

They all better have big bazoombas and one better speak with a fake Italian accent or no sale.
