So I might be a little younger than the average demographic for this video, but I'll tell you why I'm dropping by. I was born in '92, growing up with the likes of Dexter's Lab, Hey Arnold and...Courage the Cowardly Dog. The guy who played the old man, Eustace Bagge, on that show, is the SAME guy who did every voice in Tom Terrific, Lionel Wilson. So basically the same man who was part of your childhoods was a part of mine, and regardless of whatever differences we have, generational, our beliefs, whatever, THAT, at least, is something we share. I think that's kind of beautiful.
The reason I thought of Tom Terrific today is that I got my hair cut really short and I have a few hairs on top of my head that resembles TTs funnel. I was born in 1956 and I guess I watched re-runs, but brought back really good memories. Boy, if you showed this to a 4 or 5 yr old today, it would be verbally out of the mouths of babes, WTF. I grew up in the best and some of the most innocent times.
From Terrytoons, one of the original animators, going back to the first days of cartoons . This is why the animation is so good, even though it was done for television. Same company that did Mighty Mouse playhouse, but this was done for Captain Kangaroo’s early episodes. Those were the golden age of kids TV friends, we even had Walt Disney’s Disneyland at prime time! Remember Mary Martin as Peter Pan, or Shari Lewis and Lambchop? The original Micky Mouse Club with that guy with the guitar, and Annette Funnichello, and all the old Disney cartoons. And the Flintstones, long before there was a Pebbles. Dude, I can even dimly remember Howdy Doody & Bob….I think they showed the old Little Rascals films on it, that’s the way I seem to remember it. In San Francisco we had a local howdy-doody type show that brought in a audience of kids into the studio, called “Mayor Art” starring Art Finaly, he did puppets and showed the old Popeye cartoons. We also had “Captain Sattalite”, he showed old cartoons too…He used to blast off into space every day, that’s what he said, his studio was a space ship, the kids on his show believed they were in space. You can say kids today have more, with their internet and their hundreds of TV channels, or the damn CGI movies, but I don’t think they will feel the same sense of nostalgia for it 50 years from now. Shoot, we even had the Beatles! And speaking of that, when John was shot, that was about the time it all started to change, all the magic began to wane right around then, that was how it seemed to me
Once Isotope Fenney stole all the coat hangers, there was no hang ups. Later, Fenney swiped all the ping-pong balls, there was no back and forth. And, Fenney took all the toilet paper, there was no...

Loved this. Captain Kangaroo used to run this on his program.
I so remember that. I suppose you are about my age (21-plus).
I was born in '51, remember it very well, and Howdy Doody show, Mr Froggy, Soupy Sales, Billy Barty, Engineer Bill, Sheriff John, loved it all!
Beautiful - very well done cartoons, even for adults!
This cartoon was a segment of the Kaptain Kangaroo Show. Loved it. Mighty Manfred, the Wonder Dog. What an intro!😂
