Watch Out For That Tree!


The classic JAY WARD cartoon series GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE came out yesterday at the right price $14.99. It has all the TOM SLICK & SUPER CHICKEN cartoons on it too. Nice packaging! Wish they would have restored the series though...it is not re-mastered. My friend JUNE FORAY did plenty of voices for this series and it is GREAT to watch!

This special definitely falls under the RARE RANKIN/BASS file in the archives! It is also a fun special to watch! FLIP WILSON, THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS, GROUCHO MARX, JACK BENNY, GEORGE BURNS, PHYLLIS DILLER, etc. AMAZING talent rounded up by ARTHUR RANKIN and JULES BASS for their HIGHEST RATED TV special.
