Another great PHYLLIS DILLER appearance in RANKIN/BASS' THE MAD, MAD, MAD COMEDIANS in 1970!  c. 1970 RANKIN/BASS PRODUCTIONS/RICK GOLDSCHMIDT ARCHIVES





Took out some of my favorite FAMOUS MONSTER MAGAZINES today!



PHYLLIS DILLER R.I.P.


Just heard that my dear friend PHYLLIS DILLER passed away :(  We were hoping she would appear at the VAN EATON GALLERY in October.  She will be missed!

Hey! Hey! We're THE MONKEES!


BRUSHA...BRUSHA...BRUSHA..Get the New IPANA!




I LOVE LUCY!

Here is the HANNA-BARBERA model sheet from my pal Ron Murphy...the little booklet that comes with the bendy figures, goes into some detail about the creation of the classic cartoon openings, bumpers and closings.   When I watch the beautifully re-mastered DVD set, I always watch the episodes with the vintage cartoon pieces.  I am not sure why ME TV and TV LAND show the old, blurry, high-contrast masters from the 1980's BUT the episodes in the box set are crisp and clear!
