There are going to be some SVENGOOLIE episodes on the web Monday...not seen in 40 years!

Jerry G. Bishop was very nice to me when I visited his restaurants in San Diego and signed many, many SVENGOOLIE things for me! He said if I ever sold them....he would tear my lips off!

HERMAN and KATNIP

My friend Jim Engel sent this along...since it is absent from the DVD! THANKS Jim!

SOAKY TOYS

SOAKY TOYS DVD really did come today! Fun to have all of the coomercials out there on one DVD! Some cool MATTEL Dick Tracy and Space commercials too!

A few pages from Romeo Muller's scrapbook

FROSTY reviews! Click image to enlarge...

I received this in the mail yesterday...and I have to say I was disappointed. It was CHEAP (About the price of a McDonald's HAPPY MEAL) and I think I know why....It is NOT the complete series (As the cover says). It is missing one of the most important things....the theme song! I loved the the song from this series BUT I guess CLASSIC MEDIA did not want to pay for the rights. This DVD is strange. It has the 1990's HARVEYTOONS opening in several places and a new CASPER closing with credits in other places. Obviously, they just transferred all of the elements from the previous HARVEYTOONS set over to here and even left in some of the things they should not have. Makes me wonder what the 1963 CASPER DVD set (coming out soon) will be like?

I watched ROYAL FLUSH 45 years later....

with Jack Davis' MONKEES NBC promo on our Jack Davis DVD! I was a baby when THE MONKEES hit the airwaves and my Mom bought me the MONKEES MATTEL Talking Hand Puppet...because I liked the theme song so much!

BEEF JERKY...anyone?

Jack Davis' first movie poster art...

One of my favorite books for Fall...

My pal Ron Murphy gave it to me years ago....
