The first three RANKIN/BASS TV Specials were on THE GENERAL ELECTRIC FANTASY HOUR: RETURN TO OZ (1964), RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (1964) and THE BALLAD OF SMOKEY THE BEAR (1966). I love watching these specials as they appeared on the network! This was television at it's best! No reality shows here.

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!
THE POLICE are coming 'round again!
Andy, Sting and Stewart are sweeping through NORTH AMERICA again with ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS!
