Will The Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down
''Will the Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down'' is a 1970 animated showcase for various caricatured Jerry Lewis characters, all based on characters from the 1965 film '' The Family Jewels'', and styled in a fashion similar to ''Archie's TV Funnies'' and the ''Groovie Goolies''. The title is a variant of the deciding question on the game show '' To Tell the Truth'': "Will the real __________ please stand up?" Like most 1970s-era Saturday morning cartoon series, ''Will the Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down'' contained an adult laugh track. Though Jerry Lewis contributed to some of the scripts, he did not voice any of the characters. The central character of Jerry Lewis was voiced by David Lander, who would later be better known for his role of Squiggy on '' Laverne & Shirley''. Premise As with all of their wilder comedies, such as those mentioned above and later shows like ''Uncle Croc's Block'' and ''The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty'', Filmation stuffed the episodes with slapstick j ...

Slapstick
Slapstick is a style of humor involving exaggerated physical activity that exceeds the boundaries of normal physical comedy. Slapstick may involve both intentional violence and violence by mishap, often resulting from inept use of props such as saws and ladders. The term arises from a device developed for use in the broad, physical comedy style known as ''commedia dell'arte'' in 16th-century Italy. The "Clapper (musical instrument), slap stick" consists of two thin slats of wood, which make a "slap" when striking another actor, with little force needed to make a loud—and comical—sound. The physical slap stick remains a key component of the plot in the traditional and popular Punch and Judy puppet show. Other examples of slapstick humor include ''The Naked Gun'' and Mr. Bean (character), Mr. Bean. Origins The name "slapstick" originates from the Italian ''Batacchio'' or ''Bataccio'' – called the "Clapper (musical instrument), slap stick" in English – a club-like objec ...

The Secret Lives Of Waldo Kitty
''The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty'' (later called ''The New Adventures of Waldo Kitty'') is an American animated and partially live-action television series, produced by Filmation, which originally aired for one season Saturday mornings on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) from September 6 to November 29, 1975. Howard Morris, Jane Webb, and Allan Melvin provided voices for the three main characters on the series. The show follows a cat named Waldo who daydreams of being a superhero and defeating the villainous bulldog Tyrone. It was inspired by James Thurber's 1939 short story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", and his wife Helen Thurber sued Filmation in 1975 for creating the series without the permission of her late husband's estate. The outcome of the decision resulted in the series being retitled in future broadcasts as ''The New Adventures of Waldo Kitty''. ''The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty'' was produced by Lou Scheimer and Norm Prescott and directed by Don Christens ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Uncle Croc's Block
''Uncle Croc's Block'' is an hour-long live-action/animated television series. It was produced by Filmation, and broadcast on ABC in 1975–76. The show was a spoof of live kids' shows but with (as MeTV would later describe it) a "bitter edge". Charles Nelson Reilly played the eponymous Uncle Croc, a crocodile that hated his job as the show's host and made only the barest of efforts to hide his contempt. Also featured were Alfie Wise as his rabbit sidekick, Mr. Rabbit Ears, and Jonathan Harris as Basil Bitterbottom, the show-within-a-show's frustrated director. A motorcycle-riding bird named Koo Koo Knievel (a parody of stuntman Evel Knievel) popped out of a clock to announce when it was "Star Time", and a celebrity "guest" would appear. The series premiered at 10:30 am ET on September 6, 1975. ''Uncle Croc's Block'' was up against the second half of the popular ''The Shazam!/Isis Hour'' (another Filmation property) and ''Far Out Space Nuts'' on CBS and ''Run, Joe, Run'' and ''Re ...
