Dennis the Menace Season 1 coming soon

I just heard that Season 1 of Dennis the Menace is going to be produced by Shout Factory. This is one of my favorite series from my childhood. Even though I liked the most beloved TV show Leave it to Beaver, it is Dennis the menace that was my favorite between the two. I found these pictures while surfing the net. I loved them both but being this is the Christmas season I had to put the more Christmas looking one up top. If any pictures are used in the DVD set I think the color one will be in it but I doubt it will be the black and white one. I like how you see an old fashioned church in the background. With many trying to take Christ out of the Christmas season when we celebrat His birth it made me feel good to remember a time when we did our best to keep Him in it and attend Christmas Eve services. There is no cover available yet But I read that there will be extras included.

Last Train to Murder

Want to get a book for that Monkees fan in the family. Well here is a wonderful murder mystery that involves the pre-fab four called "Last Train to Murder." It has them tracking a killer while on the way to a TV network executives meeting. It takes place in 1967. Why am I so high on this book? Is it because I too am a Monkees fan? Is it because I like mystery novels? Yes but mostly it is because I wrote it. It is published by Lulu.com. You can order it if you click on the button below.

Now I still haven't seen the proof copy but I wanted to get the word out asap.

Police Squad! Ring of Fear

Here is one of the funniest TV shows in history. It was a flop on TV but they got 3 blockbuster films out of it. In honor of Leslie Nielsen's passing here is an episode of Police Squad!

White Christmas Cartoon

I love this cartoon. Very funny.

Human Bomb Music Video

For comic book fans here is a music video I created after I came across this homemade song about the Quality/DC comics character the Human Bomb.

Mike and Jason Nesmith Interviewed

Davy Gets Blown Away

I just saw this on youtube and thought it was funny.

Green Lantern Trailer

If you haven't seen it yet here is the trailer to the movie "Green Lantern" that comes out next summer.

Torked Up

Here is a great segment of a show by the AARP on PBS that featured Peter Tork of the Monkees.

For A Friend by The Bugaloos

I know that The Archies had a hit from their TV show and Jack Wild did well thanks in part to his Saturday morning show H.R. Puffnstuf. It was years later that I heard the Bannana Splits had one in England. Now I find that the Bugaloos also had one. It too must have been a hit in Europe because I never heard of it. Cna't fault the songwriters. The song is a good pure pop 70's tune and Hirshhorn and Kasha had a long list of popular tunes to their credit by that time.

Grand Ennui- Michael Nesmith Live at the Roundhouse 1974

Here is a live version of Mike Nesmith preforming his song the Grand Ennui. Before that he explains how he created it and how it was part of how he felt after leaving the Monkees. Good stuff and a good preformance.

Adventures of Superman on sale

Amazon is haveing a DVD sale and what caught my attention is that all of the Adventures of Superman, starring the best actor to ever play the character, George Reeves, is on sale for 60 per cent off or more. You can get them all in one click but it saves you some money if you buy then seperately. I recently ordered Season 3 and 4. If you want any or all of them click on the links below and this site gets a percentage of the purchase.

The Flintstones - Alvin Brickrock Presents

For Halloween here is one of my favorite episodes of the Flintstones with their spoof of Alfred Hitchcock.

HEaven and Hell

HEAVEN AND HELL



While walking down the street one day, a Senator was tragically hit by a car and died. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says the Senator..

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator. "I'm sorry, but we have our rules."

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.

They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit heaven."

So, 24 hours pass with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. "Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."

The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell..

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.

"I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?" The devil smiles at him and says,



"Yesterday we were campaigning ...






Today, you voted."

The best song the Brady Bunch ever recorded

Ok it isn't the Brady Bunch but the animater had to have them in mind when he did this video.

The Dick Van Dyke Show "Uhny Uftz"

This isn't really a Halloween episode but I think it fits with season. Sit back relax and watch.

The Three Stooges "If a Body Meets a Body"

Rocky Burnette "Tired of Toein' the Line"

Here is an early 80's rock-a-billy hit by Rocky Burnette. A great song called "Tired of Toein' the Line."

Suzi Quatro "Stumblin' In"

Remember this song? This is probably the only hit Suzi had. At least it's the only one I remember. This came around the same time as her appearances on Happy Days. Her future looked bright but then she dropped off the radar. However, I recently found her site and you can see it too if you click here to find out more.
This is from an episode of a show that she and Chris Norman did on a TV show in Europe. They seem to really be enjoying themselves. The crazy thing is that this showed up on youtube.com when I was really searching for the cartoon show the Hillbilly Bears. Maybe they thought Chris Norman looked like Pa Rugg from that show.
