Today's Highlight in History:
On Feb. 10, 1940, MGM released the animated short "Puss Gets the Boot," the debut of Tom and Jerry (although in this cartoon, the cat is called "Jasper" by its owner while the mouse was dubbed "Jinx" by creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera).
Ya just can't beat a good Tom and Jerry cartoon, except for Road Runner cartoon played on a big screen at the movies..!
I've always been more of a Woody Woodpecker fan myself. My kids are really into the Little Rascals movie lately. I'd love for them to see the old black and white series but you can't get that anywhere. Fucking, Cosby.
I believe you can buy a Little Rascals DVD set at a fairly reasonable price. I got Leave it to Beaver and Sea Hunt DVD sets that I watch on cold weekend mornings.
That's the 2nd time within a week, some one has mentioned watching Sea Hunt. My drinking buddy mentioned it the other day. Deja Vu...!
One of my favorite shows, led me to become a certified diver at the age of 13.
Huh, figured you were certifiable, but didn't know you were a diver. Sea Hunt was my 2nd favorite after Wild Wild West. They ran into some of the craziest things on the sea floor...
Sea Hunt was my favorite with Sky King my second and actually have a pilots license too.
I do remember Sky King! And I'm getting Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea confused with Sea Hunt! Sea Hunt was the Bridges family, right? if so, i also likes that show!
It was Loyd Bridges (aka Mike Nelson) and two things happened in every episode: 1) Somebody(s) got their ass whipped either in, out or both of the water 2) Mike Nelson got some poontang, behind the scenes of course in those days.
There was also a leaking or cut air hose.
Every damned time. And it was always the wrong hose. I wish just once some villain would be smart enough to cut the right hose.
Cypress Gardens is just down the road from Silver Springs. Two fun spots when trips to central Florida were much simpler. Hell, used to be a trip from the little airport was through orange groves, cattle pastures and swamps instead of neighborhoods, time shares and toll roads...
Yep the good ol days were really nice when life was so simple and Coors Beer was something special.
paid $20 dollars for a six pack, that some band had brought from Denver the night before, in Rochester NY in 1974.
You could've gotten arrested for that.
My Dad used to drive the ol station wagon over to TX a couple of times every summer and load it up with Coors and haul it back to Louisiana, he was one of their first "distributors" you could say.
Did one show with water skiing at Cypress Gardens.
