RANKIN/BASS' THE SMOKEY BEAR SHOW (1969)

Another great RANKIN/BASS series to watch on DVD!

RANKIN/BASS' THE RELUCTANT DRAGON & MR. TOAD SHOW (1970)

c. 1970 RANKIN/BASS PRODUCTIONS/RICK GOLDSCHMIDT ARCHIVES

I love watching episodes of this series on DVD! MUSHI studios really caught the Paul Coker, Jr. style in this for RANKIN/BASS!

Hornet Sting....check!

Watching THE GREEN HORNET MARATHON on ME TV today! Josh saw the movie and liked it BUT he said I probably won't like it.

THE GREEN HORNET feature film comes out today and hope it will capture the spirit of the TV series BUT it already looks a bit like the MATRIX in the commercials.

Watching the GREEN HORNET marathon on SYFI during a pretty bad snow storm in Chicagoland today! Too many commercials (For really bad new shows), on screen graphics and cropped end credits....looking forward to the ME TV marathon Saturday (Which won't have any of the negatives).
