Nostalgia hits hard when seemingly innocent childhood memories collide with modern sensibilities. This unexpected Saturday morning podcast was sparked when Pat Walsh discovered a YouTube critique calling The Hillbilly Bears cartoon an offensive mockery of rural poverty—a take that completely contradicts his fond childhood experiences with these beloved characters.
Throughout this delightful trip down memory lane, Pat pushes back against what he sees as misguided retroactive criticism of classic cartoons. From the unintelligible but lovable Paw Rugg to Slow Poke Rodriguez ("the slowest mouse in all Mexico") and the Go-Go Gophers, these weren't harmful stereotypes to children of the 60s and 70s—they were simply fun, memorable characters who made Saturday mornings magical.
Pat's remarkable recall of obscure cartoons—spontaneously singing theme songs and mimicking character voices from shows he hasn't seen in over 50 years—demonstrates just how deeply these programs embedded themselves in the psyches of their young viewers. Tennessee Tuxedo and his walrus friend Chumley visiting Mr. Whoopee's 3D BB (three-dimensional blackboard), the heroic antics of Underdog, the adventures of Roger Ramjet, and the bizarre Dodo the Kid from Outer Space all make appearances in this cartoon cavalcade.
The podcast ultimately challenges us to consider how we view entertainment from previous eras. Should we judge these cartoons by contemporary standards, or can we appreciate them for what they meant to children at the time—pure joy, adventure, and sometimes even valuable life lessons? As classic cartoons continue to disappear from our cultural landscape, Pat reminds us what we might be losing in our rush to apply modern critiques to the innocent pleasures of childhood.
What cartoon characters from your youth would never make it to air today? Which forgotten Saturday morning favorites do you still remember fondly despite—or perhaps because of—their quirks and imperfections?

SPEAKER_10 (00:22):
Good morning.
Good Saturday morning to you.
I just said I would do a rareSaturday morning Pat's Peeps
podcast.
I was inspired to do so.
(00:42):
I was actually looking.
Hold on.
Finish, fellas.
Saturday mornings.
I could not I could not wait towake up to that.
How are you?
It is Saturday morning.
I wasn't going to do this.
This is sort of a spur of themoment.
Just got inspired by something Ididn't expect.
(01:05):
Patrick here, Pat Walsh.
I am the host of the Pat Walshshow on KAPK.
I still have my morning voice.
My morning voice.
Hope your day has gotten off toa great start.
As I'm finishing my second cupof coffee.
I was going to the TV.
I was gonna uh I was gonna watchsome Saturday morning cartoons
(01:26):
because I can find all of theclassics, but I can also find
some of the forgotten cartoonsthat I grew up watching.
And in doing so, this thing popsup on my TV.
And it really, I don't know, itjust pathetic, it made me laugh,
(01:50):
it just made me I don't know,just I had to do this more than
I gotta listen to these guys alittle bit more, yeah.
Yes, sir.
SPEAKER_20 (02:00):
And also, starring, my fast-feathered friend, the
roadrunner.
SPEAKER_10 (02:06):
Wasn't a Bugs Bunny the greatest smart ass of all
time?
Didn't matter who he was dealingwith, when Bugs was dealing with
anyone, anyone.
I think except for maybe onetime in a cartoon.
Oh, I think it was the the racewith the tortoise where he
actually lost the race and thetortoise outsmarted him.
But for every other time, Bugswas smarter, uh, more of a smart
(02:29):
ass.
More clever than any othercharacter.
Although the Roadrunner waspretty uh Although he never
spoke the Roadrunner.
So I don't really want to focuson that though this morning.
I don't want to focus on LooneyTones and Scooby-Doo and the
Jetsons and all of thesecartoons that we really, really
(02:52):
remember.
I want to focus on the ones thatmaybe we don't remember as much.
And the reason I'm bringing itup on a Saturday morning is
because I wanted to watch aparticular cartoon.
And so I'm on YouTube.
Let me do what my grandmotherused to do.
(03:14):
And my great-grandma, the greatCatherine Tracy, my Irish
grandmother.
And she would, you know, likethe old days, you'd put out your
index finger, if you'reright-handed, you put out your
index finger, and with your lefthand you take your other, I mean
your right hand with take yourother index finger, you'd rub it
across that.
Like shame.
Remember that?
(03:35):
Shame on you, shame.
No one does that anymore.
Shame on YouTube.
You know, in the midst of theKimmel and all this crap, I
didn't want to talk about that,but the cancel culture before
that was the cancel culture.
People come, oh Kimmel, he'sbeing canceled.
No, cancel culture's been goingon for long time.
Do you know?
(03:56):
The cartoon I wanted to watch, Icould not find on YouTube.
I don't know.
I I think YouTube banned it.
Honestly.
Couldn't find it anywhere.
I had to go to I had to find itanother way.
But I did eventually find it.
(04:19):
And the cartoon is The HillbillyBears.
Remember the Hillbilly Bear?
I loved me some hillbilly bears.
This is 1965, friends.
And they'd come on on a Saturdayand they'd be Paul Rug.
The cute little bear, the littlegirl, she'd be playing a guitar,
a little teen girl, you know,she'd be playing that guitar.
(04:41):
She was a rocker.
You had the cool little kidbear, a little boy, Ma Bear.
Ma Bear.
She had that uh she'd always besmoking the corncob pipe.
And she had the scarf wrappedaround her head.
Oh, you had the suspenders, thehat.
(05:02):
You play that stand-up bass.
Sometimes you play the guitar.
You can never understand him.
Remember that guy?
So I want to watch this.
But no, first I think I'mclicking on it.
But then I see, wait a minute,what is this?
And I go back and look.
(05:22):
Unfortunately, I was watchingsomething called Cartoons
Mocked.
Poverty with funny bears by theMaybe Files.
SPEAKER_03 (05:32):
Oh my god.
SPEAKER_10 (05:34):
Cartoons mocked poverty with funny bears.
So I started to listen.
And I'm thinking, you gotta bekidding me.
I look at it so fondly.
Let me preface this by givingyou my opinion on it.
It was a cartoon I rememberfondly as a five-year-old kid.
(05:57):
Six years old, seven years old,whatever.
Oh well, five.
Okay.
So I loved it.
It's memorable.
You know why it's memorable?
Because it was a fun cartoon.
I liked waking up and watchingit.
SPEAKER_09 (06:12):
It's not memorable.
I'm wondering about my genderstrategies.
And I'm wondering, is thismocking poor people and
hillbillies?
SPEAKER_10 (06:24):
And you know, on one hand, you can't have certain
cartoons anymore.
Like let's say a fat Albert orcertain other cartoons.
Because you couldn't have theFrito Bandito.
Remember that?
We had the Frito Bandito, whichI love that too.
Come on.
You could not have SlowpokeRodriguez.
(06:44):
Because somehow that was racist,bull crap.
We loved the Frito Bandito.
We love slow poke Rodriguez.
Not a kid my age thought, gee,hmm, I wonder what the
implications are on Mexicanchildren.
Come on.
But they had to be canceled.
(07:06):
Right?
They had to be canceled.
Hillbilly Bears wasn't canceledbecause they were poking at
white people or hillbillies.
It was just a one just it wasone season.
That's just the way it is withsome shows.
And so I found this cartoon.
Now listen to this woke, has tobe a woke.
(07:27):
Alright, maybe I won't use theword woke.
May you know, maybe they thinkthey're just doing this
righteous thing.
Listen to the demeaning attitudein her voice.
SPEAKER_01 (07:48):
One season.
Only 26 episodes.
SPEAKER_10 (07:51):
Although I'm a big fan of sarcasm.
One season, 26 episodes, shesays.
SPEAKER_01 (07:56):
And then it should have faded into obscurity.
Why?
But it didn't.
It lingered.
Repackaged, replayed.
SPEAKER_10 (08:02):
Why should it have ling uh faded into obscurity?
Why?
SPEAKER_01 (08:07):
Please rerun for decades.
So the question is no longerwhat was this show?
The real question is, why dothey keep showing it to us?
Welcome to the Maybe Files.
Oh.
Where nostalgia gets p weird.
SPEAKER_10 (08:20):
No, because you're weird.
And you weren't around.
SPEAKER_01 (08:25):
Paw, ma, floral and shag.
SPEAKER_10 (08:28):
That's right, baby.
SPEAKER_01 (08:29):
They live in a shack.
That's right.
SPEAKER_10 (08:30):
I would have this t-shirt of the Hillbilly Bears.
They shoot things.
SPEAKER_01 (08:33):
They don't understand.
SPEAKER_10 (08:34):
They bicker and they shoot things.
Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_01 (08:36):
Paw, ma, floral, and shag.
They live in a shack.
They bicker.
They shoot things.
They don't understand much.
And they don't really want to.
Right.
SPEAKER_20 (08:45):
Bolly me.
SPEAKER_01 (08:47):
The humor is built around one idea.
These bears are stupid andviolent.
And that's funny.
The dad can't speak clearly.
SPEAKER_10 (09:03):
God, I love that.
No, they're not, they don't win.
That's fantastic.
SPEAKER_01 (09:09):
Just cartoon characters.
They're avatars of poverty.
Rural isolation.
SPEAKER_10 (09:13):
Avatars of poverty.
By the way, they're opening formy band.
Coming up next weekend, theAvatars of Poverty.
Listen to the exasperated voice.
Someone decided that should be achildren's cartoon.
SPEAKER_01 (09:37):
The Hillbilly Bears wasn't created in a vacuum.
SPEAKER_10 (09:40):
Now listen to this.
SPEAKER_01 (09:54):
Yes, sir.
Built on the idea that poorrural Americans are lovable,
laughable, and always just alittle behind the times.
SPEAKER_10 (10:02):
Yeah.
That's your take, and maybethat's what they were doing.
Sure.
SPEAKER_01 (10:06):
So when Hannah Barbera introduced the Hillbilly
Bears, they weren't breaking newground.
SPEAKER_10 (10:11):
By the way, let me say this.
All of those shows she justmentioned, Andy Griffith
included, all of those shows,those rural shows, when I think
it was CBS, I think they were onCBS.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
But anyhow, those shows were allnumber one in the ratings.
(10:32):
Numero uno.
Number one.
These shows were canceled attheir very peak.
Because at that point, that iswhen the network decided, yeah,
let's get a go ahead and getaway from this rural comedy,
just like what she's talkingabout.
We need to get away from this.
(10:54):
Well, these were all number oneshows.
SPEAKER_01 (10:57):
They were cashing in on a proven, profitable
stereotype.
This time in cartoon form.
And by putting it in achildren's show, they made sure
that stereotype had a very longshelf life.
SPEAKER_10 (11:08):
Let me tell you something again now about the
stereotype.
The way she delivers it, it'sthe stereotype of these there's
these just downtrodden peoplethat we look.
It's a freaking cartoon, man.
I don't look at Green Acres orBeverly Hillbillies and sit
(11:29):
there and think that gee.
And by the way, BeverlyHillbillies had millions of
dollars, right?
The clampets?
So they weren't impoverished, asI recall.
They were at one point untilthey, you know, had millions.
Mr.
Drysdale wanted to keep thatmoney in the bank.
I love his voice.
SPEAKER_01 (11:51):
Paw Rugg doesn't solve problems.
He doesn't reflect.
He doesn't grow.
What he does in nearly everyepisode is shoot his rifle into
the ceiling.
Good.
At the sky.
At nothing.
And it's always funny.
The message is clear.
It sure was.
Violence is comedy.
SPEAKER_10 (12:10):
Yeah, the message is clear.
You're an idiot.
Especially when it's- Yeah,after we watch this, you know
what we do?
We go get our guns, we go shootstuff randomly and laugh.
All those hillbilly bears, lookwhat they made us do.
Uh huh.
SPEAKER_01 (12:26):
It's an old man in a rotting house firing randomly
while grunting.
This isn't a cowboy shootout.
It's not a hero's journey.
It's an old man in a rottinghouse firing randomly while
grunting.
SPEAKER_10 (12:37):
Now you just said that.
By the way, banjo rules.
They use it in a mocking form.
SPEAKER_01 (12:43):
Why is this the thing they chose to preserve and
rerun for children over threedecades?
SPEAKER_10 (12:47):
Because it was funny and we enjoyed it.
Get it?
Maybe files, please.
Just quit whimpering and whiningabout stuff that you don't know
anything about.
Now I want to watch theHillbilly Bears without you
talking.
Just for a minute.
SPEAKER_20 (13:16):
Didn't I listen to my mother and become a milkman?
SPEAKER_12 (13:22):
Howdy.
SPEAKER_10 (13:22):
They used to always have those jokes in every show.
I should have listened to mybrother-in-law, but an insurance
salesman.
They always had those kind ofjokes back then.
So on this Saturday morning, Ithought, you know what, why not?
And by the way, today'sSeptember 27th, 2025.
It's a beautiful day.
It's gonna be, uh, I think injust in the upper 80s today.
(13:44):
I have band practice today.
But I thought, here's some otherclips that they may not enjoy,
but I do.
From obscure.
The obscure cartoons from thepast.
I mean, heck, if you didn't likethe Hillbilly Bears, how would
they possibly like thisincredibly great cartoon that I
(14:05):
always loved?
A beloved cartoon that now wouldnever get any airtime because
it's somehow racist and mean.
When in actuality it was just afun cartoon growing up.
Go, go, go first.
SPEAKER_19 (14:18):
Go, go first, watch them, go, go, go.
SPEAKER_26 (14:21):
Two little Indians, no others near.
SPEAKER_18 (14:25):
Colonel he vows, these two soon disappear.
Fighting the army blue soldiersgalore.
SPEAKER_02 (14:32):
What can two Indians do?
SPEAKER_19 (14:36):
Go, go, go, first, watch them, go, go, go.
Go, go, go, first, watch them,go, go, go.
SPEAKER_10 (14:42):
By the way, we loved, loved the Indians in this
show.
I mean, we liked the uh, it waskind of like F-Troop in a way,
like the TV show with LarryStorch in a way, almost like a
John Wayne, Larry Storch kind ofcartoon where they had the fort,
and they were cool too.
But we loved the Indians too.
(15:03):
Come on, give me a break.
SPEAKER_19 (15:07):
Go, go, gophers, watch him, go, go, go.
SPEAKER_10 (15:10):
Look at the flying teepee.
SPEAKER_19 (15:12):
Go, go, gophers, watch him, go, go, go.
SPEAKER_10 (15:15):
And they would dispense with these guys.
Like, they would always beat theuh the soldiers in a little
fight.
I love the gibberish, the waythey would talk.
The go-go gophers.
SPEAKER_26 (15:31):
What you do?
I love a random picture.
Colonel You play him joke onColonel.
Oh, him think him treasure map,then him get fooled.
SPEAKER_10 (15:45):
Well, you can just hear that that guy's voice, and
what is in so many of thesecartoons of the day.
There were little gophers.
You know what?
We watched Cowboys and Indianmovies on TV.
Cowboy and Indian movies.
Didn't we?
I mean, that's you'd watch thatin the 60s, Cowboys.
There was nothing.
These were beloved characters.
(16:07):
To somehow, wow, we can't showthat.
The race.
We loved these Indiancharacters.
Here's another one.
Can't have this anymore.
Even though we absolutely loved,I mentioned it before, Slow Polk
Rodriguez.
I would wear a slow PolkRodriguez t-shirt.
(16:28):
I love this guy so much.
SPEAKER_14 (16:30):
Which is you.
Maybe Slow Polk is pretty slowdownstairs in the feet.
But he's pretty fast upstairs inthe cabeza.
SPEAKER_10 (16:51):
How can you not love that character?
Like he's running around, he'sgot the stick with the back
hanging from it, like he'srunning away from home.
I always loved in these cartoonsfrom Looney Tunes and Tom and
(17:15):
Jerry and all this.
The little mice would alwayshave that little door at the
bottom of the wall, you know.
Casa de Gonzalez.
SPEAKER_13 (17:37):
Maybe Jose.
Instead we tried to catch theSpeed Gonzalez.
We should have cut SlopocRodriguez.
The slowest mass in all Mexico.
SPEAKER_10 (17:52):
I love that cartoon.
You know, we look at it sodifferent.
Now this was a stereotype and arace.
You know what it was for kids?
And I'm speaking on behalf ofkids who you claim were
influenced by this.
We absolutely loved them.
Go, go gophers, slow prokeRodriguez.
(18:13):
We loved them.
What are you talking about?
Then there were other cartoons,the ones that never get talked
about.
One, two, three, two, three.
Tennessee touched Tennessee,Tuck Towns.
And Chumley, right?
Mr.
Whoopee.
Come on, boys.
Let me get my 3D BB.
Uh, G Tennessee.
(18:34):
I loved this.
SPEAKER_06 (18:36):
Tennessee Tuxedo.
SPEAKER_10 (18:40):
Isn't this the one where they had Commander Brag
Commander McBrag?
Was it Tennessee Tuxedo?
Did they have Commander McBrag?
Did I ever tell you the story ofthe day that I Yes, you yes, and
the butler would go, Yes, you'vetold me that it naws him.
Well, let me tell you onceagain.
(19:02):
But this is a great cartoon.
Yeah, they always go to Mr.
Whoopi's office.
He'd have the Come on, boys, letme get my 3D BB, and he'd open
it up and explain.
SPEAKER_03 (19:29):
Animals cleverly adapted by nature to live in
sub-freezing temperatures, likethe penguin.
And the uh walrus.
That's funny.
I thought walrus is.
SPEAKER_10 (19:41):
By the way, Don Adams is Tennessee Tuxedo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Still one of my favorite cartoonimpersonations.
G Tennessee.
Well, I was headed south, but Imust have overshot.
And they'd always get into thatsticky situation.
They're trying to figure out,well, what can we do?
(20:04):
Well, again, you go see Mr.
Whoopi.
SPEAKER_23 (20:07):
I know.
It's time to see Mr.
Whoopee.
Let's go.
SPEAKER_10 (20:11):
Yeah.
Always fun to go see Mr.
Whoopee.
SPEAKER_06 (20:15):
Oh, boy, is my three.
Do you have a riddle chum read?
Why isn't my nose 12 incheslong?
Because that would make it afoot.
SPEAKER_10 (20:28):
It's 3D BB.
Anyhow, Mr.
Whoopee.
SPEAKER_23 (20:32):
See, Mr.
Whoopi, we've gotta learn how tobuild a motor for this car, or
Mr.
Malinoff is going to play us atune on his fiddle.
Well, boys.
SPEAKER_03 (20:42):
He's going to shoot it with a gun.
SPEAKER_06 (20:45):
Mmm.
Well, I guess we'd better uhstep on the gas, eh?
Now, where did I put mythree-dimensional blackboard?
Yep.
Perhaps in the closet.
It's 3D BB.
It'd be all cluttered.
Here it is, my fantastic 3D BB.
SPEAKER_10 (21:06):
See, I haven't seen that in years.
That's how beloved thesecartoons are to me.
And who can forget, of course,Saturday mornings would not be
the same without this incrediblecartoon.
Fat Alberts.
I also love the banana splits.
Remember that?
Hey, hey, hey! Bill Cosby, FatAlbert.
Oh my god, it's Bill Cosby.
(21:28):
How could he be influencingkids?
Because he was a smart comedygenius.
And this show is fantastic.
Every year I still watch theHalloween episode.
During Halloween, the Cosbykids.
And they would always have showsabout, you know, why you don't
(21:50):
want to cheat in class and andyou know why you would want to
study.
Or if you were dealing with theloss of a friend, they dealt
with issues.
SPEAKER_00 (22:01):
Coming at you with music and fun.
But if you're not careful, youmay learn something before it's
done.
SPEAKER_10 (22:12):
I love the characters.
Yeah, and they would always tryto help each other.
They'd try to help each other syou know with moral dilemmas and
things.
And they were very nice kids.
(22:33):
They were just trying to havefun, but they were really nice
kids.
Here's an obscure one.
Anyone remember?
Adam Adam Adam up and Adam Adam.
SPEAKER_12 (22:48):
Up and Adam, it's Adamant.
It's right.
It's fight.
It's made.
It's fight.
It's Adam and Fighting Ad is acomic power.
That's what it tastes.
And always makes the fellowpower.
It's rough.
It's tough.
SPEAKER_10 (23:23):
I love Saturday morning cartoons of the best.
Adamant.
Talk about obscure.
Going back to 65, weathering thestorm.
Remember, Underdog.
This was a great cartoon.
SPEAKER_05 (23:39):
There's no need to fear.
Underdog is here.
Great song for the underdogshow, starring that champion of
champions, underdog.
SPEAKER_10 (23:55):
I love the theme songs.
You know, and what I liked aboutTennessee Tuxedo and like the
Alvin show, Alvin and theChipmunks, and Underdog, and
some of these.
Also, of course, who couldforget one of my all-time
favorites, Rocky and Bullwinkle?
They would always have differentsegments within the cartoon.
Commander McBrag or FracturedFairy Tales or what have you.
(24:18):
Always different little littleepisodes of different things.
Simon Barr Sinister.
Sweet Polly Purebred was alwaysin trouble.
Oh my goodness.
But this is one of my favorites,I gotta say.
SPEAKER_04 (24:38):
Last time you remember, the citizens of
Frostbite Falls had the shock oftheir lives when every TV
antenna in town mysteriouslydisappeared.
Their reaction wasinstantaneous.
Our lives are ruined.
Some people refuse to admit thatthe terrible thing had happened.
SPEAKER_10 (24:52):
These are the greatest voices and cartoons of
all time, in my opinion.
SPEAKER_04 (24:55):
And set doggedly before their sets anyway.
SPEAKER_10 (24:58):
Yeah, and I'm talking about these voices in
Loon Aaron uh uh um uh Rocky andBullwinkle, but of course Mel
Blank, like I said.
Some of these others just thebirds.
SPEAKER_04 (25:07):
Both resorted to ingenious methods of
substitution.
So remember, friends, getJohnson's voice pointers in the
red and blue box.
SPEAKER_24 (25:14):
Oh, that's great, Henry.
The one about the dog food.
SPEAKER_04 (25:17):
Still others didn't notice any change at all.
Love these sea stories.
But the most mysterious thing ofall was the way the antennas had
sitting in a laundromat watchingthe watching disappeared.
SPEAKER_02 (25:27):
You may not believe this, boys, but every one of
them was bitten off.
Bitten off?
You mean there's some metalmunching monster loose in this
home?
Now let's not jump toconclusions, boys.
There's probably some logicalexplanation.
Sure make a better story my way.
(25:53):
I'll need some help on thiscase.
That's me.
Somebody who's brave andtrustworthy, that's me, and
smart as a whip.
SPEAKER_10 (26:01):
That's him.
SPEAKER_02 (26:01):
That's him.
SPEAKER_10 (26:05):
Tell me I don't have these memorized.
I actually use that as a littlegoofy liner on my radio show,
the Pat Wall Show.
Please support local business,patspeeps.com.
So I would say Rocky andBullwinkle is one of my all-time
favorites.
Here's another one we watchedfor a period of time.
I think this one may have onlybeen on one season.
I don't know.
If it was on more than oneseason, I'd be amazed.
(26:27):
Oh, I just thought of anotherone.
Because I'll go from the best toone of the worst, but memorable.
How about Roger Ramjet?
Remember this one?
Roger Ramjet and his Eaglesfighting for our freedom.
Fly through in and outer space,not to join him, but to be the I
(26:50):
can't believe I still know thewords.
SPEAKER_24 (26:51):
He's the man, hero of our nation.
For his adventures, just be sureand stay tuned to the station.
Join us all you kids for lots offun and laughter.
As Roger Ranchett and his menget all the proof they're after.
Roger and Jet eat the.
SPEAKER_10 (27:17):
I think it's something like this.
And stay tuned to the station.
Oh my god, this reminds me.
SPEAKER_05 (27:30):
G.I.
Brassbottom.
SPEAKER_08 (27:35):
Oh Ramjet, come to Washington immediately.
Come in.
Roger Ramjet.
SPEAKER_27 (27:44):
There's his voice.
That's right.
Roger Ramjet here.
SPEAKER_10 (27:57):
And so gives me the sudden urge to gamble.
SPEAKER_08 (28:00):
Reporting, sir.
unknown (28:02):
Ramjet.
SPEAKER_10 (28:03):
Roger Ramjet.
That's right.
Oh, here's another.
So obscure.
So obscure.
Does anyone remember Dodo, thekid from outer space?
I mean, I literally just thoughtof that, and I haven't seen this
for 50 years.
And I can still remember it'slike, um, with what is it?
(28:26):
Um, with with propellers on hisheels, uh, antennas on his ears
and propellers on his heels.
He's a science fiction fictionpixie from a strange atomic
race.
Dodo, the kid from outer space.
Dodo! I haven't seen that in 50years.
Let me see how close I am togetting that correct.
(28:52):
The kid from outer space, yeah.
Dodo! Don't go any place withpapers on his heels, and it's on
his ears.
He's a science fiction pixiewith my strange atomic race.
Dodo! The kid from out of space.
Dodo! Oh my god.
Ooh, Lord.
(29:14):
Man, thank goodness my memory isstill pretty sharp.
I remember this one from theearly 60s, high atop Mount
Olympus.
Herc!
unknown (29:23):
Herk!
SPEAKER_10 (29:23):
Remember the mighty Hercules cartoons?
Hercules?
And he's and it's sung by JohnnyNash, the same guy that sang, I
can see Clillina, the rain isgone.
This was a pretty disturbingcartoon in a way, too.
Hercules!
SPEAKER_22 (29:42):
He's hero of song and story.
Hercules! Winner of ancientglory.
Johnny Nash! Fighting for theright, fighting with his might,
with the strength of tenordinary men, Hercules, people
are safe, Hercules.
Only the evil fear him.
Softness in his eyes, iron inhis eyes, virtue in his heart,
(30:07):
fire in every part of themighty.
SPEAKER_10 (30:11):
And he put the He'd have to put the ring on and
stand atop Mount Olympus and puthis fist in the air.
And that's how, and then hewould go fight like everyday
crimes.
From ancient Greece.
SPEAKER_20 (30:38):
Boiled and boiled to a blinding broom.
unknown (30:44):
Shh.
SPEAKER_24 (30:44):
Here they come.
SPEAKER_10 (30:47):
Here comes Herc.
Better hurry, Newton, if youwant to read that.
And remember Newton the creepycentaur or whatever.
Herc, Herc! Yeah.
SPEAKER_09 (30:55):
Better hurry.
Better hurry.
SPEAKER_10 (30:57):
I'm gonna talk like this and repeat everything.
Repeat everything.
Is it a centaur or did I getthat wrong?
This is such a weird cartoon.
(31:18):
Still kind of creeps me out in away.
How about Clyde Crashkop andLeonardo?
Remember them?
Leonardo was a I don't knowwhich one was which.
It was the the tall guy with themustache.
And he'd always invent somethingon the blackboard.
(31:42):
There'd always be the tall guywith the big nose and the
mustache.
And they had the white lab coatson, and he would invent
something to put it on thechalkboard, and the little bald
dude with the ring of hairaround his head with the white
lab coat, he'd go, he'd tap itand he'd go, and he'd whisper
something in his ear, and thenhe would redraw, and then he'd
look at it and go, Oh, you'reright.
Leonardo, I think maybe he wasanyway, we'll get it straight.
(32:05):
I remember one that stands outin my mind is he drew a woman,
and a woman was in curlers, justreally like maybe the rolling
pin in her hand.
I don't know, whatever it was,just very angry and thumpy and
mean, and the little guy and heright he redraws it.
It's like this super hot womanin a bikini goes, I think you're
(32:27):
right, dude.
Clyde Crashkop.
Here we go.
Leonardo.
SPEAKER_07 (32:39):
I was building something.
Ooh, I'll be right with you injust a moment, folks.
Right now, I'm very busy.
Now, ladies and gentlemen,perhaps you are wondering what I
(33:00):
am building.
This, when it is completed, willbe my latest invention, the
reverse time machines.
This invention will reverse alltime.
It will reverse the evolution ofman.
SPEAKER_10 (33:14):
So then the little now the little guy's looking at
him.
SPEAKER_07 (33:20):
So let's get busy even the sound effects were the
best.
SPEAKER_10 (33:39):
Okay, so that's Leonardo.
The little dude with the baldhead's Leonardo.
And the tall guy's Clyde Crash.
Anyhow.
God, these bring back goodmemories.
(34:21):

The Butt Bunny Road Runner Show.
SPEAKER_10 (00:22):
Good morning.
Good Saturday morning to you.
I just said I would do a rareSaturday morning Pat's Peeps
podcast.
I was inspired to do so.
(00:42):
I was actually looking.
Hold on.
Finish, fellas.
Saturday mornings.
I could not I could not wait towake up to that.
How are you?
It is Saturday morning.
I wasn't going to do this.
This is sort of a spur of themoment.
Just got inspired by something Ididn't expect.
(01:05):
Patrick here, Pat Walsh.
I am the host of the Pat Walshshow on KAPK.
I still have my morning voice.
My morning voice.
Hope your day has gotten off toa great start.
As I'm finishing my second cupof coffee.
I was going to the TV.
I was gonna uh I was gonna watchsome Saturday morning cartoons
(01:26):
because I can find all of theclassics, but I can also find
some of the forgotten cartoonsthat I grew up watching.
And in doing so, this thing popsup on my TV.
And it really, I don't know, itjust pathetic, it made me laugh,
(01:50):
it just made me I don't know,just I had to do this more than
I gotta listen to these guys alittle bit more, yeah.
Yes, sir.
SPEAKER_20 (02:00):
And also, starring, my fast-feathered friend, the
roadrunner.
SPEAKER_10 (02:06):
Wasn't a Bugs Bunny the greatest smart ass of all
time?
Didn't matter who he was dealingwith, when Bugs was dealing with
anyone, anyone.
I think except for maybe onetime in a cartoon.
Oh, I think it was the the racewith the tortoise where he
actually lost the race and thetortoise outsmarted him.
But for every other time, Bugswas smarter, uh, more of a smart
(02:29):
ass.
More clever than any othercharacter.
Although the Roadrunner waspretty uh Although he never
spoke the Roadrunner.
So I don't really want to focuson that though this morning.
I don't want to focus on LooneyTones and Scooby-Doo and the
Jetsons and all of thesecartoons that we really, really
(02:52):
remember.
I want to focus on the ones thatmaybe we don't remember as much.
And the reason I'm bringing itup on a Saturday morning is
because I wanted to watch aparticular cartoon.
And so I'm on YouTube.
Let me do what my grandmotherused to do.
(03:14):
And my great-grandma, the greatCatherine Tracy, my Irish
grandmother.
And she would, you know, likethe old days, you'd put out your
index finger, if you'reright-handed, you put out your
index finger, and with your lefthand you take your other, I mean
your right hand with take yourother index finger, you'd rub it
across that.
Like shame.
Remember that?
(03:35):
Shame on you, shame.
No one does that anymore.
Shame on YouTube.
You know, in the midst of theKimmel and all this crap, I
didn't want to talk about that,but the cancel culture before
that was the cancel culture.
People come, oh Kimmel, he'sbeing canceled.
No, cancel culture's been goingon for long time.
Do you know?
(03:56):
The cartoon I wanted to watch, Icould not find on YouTube.
I don't know.
I I think YouTube banned it.
Honestly.
Couldn't find it anywhere.
I had to go to I had to find itanother way.
But I did eventually find it.
(04:19):
And the cartoon is The HillbillyBears.
Remember the Hillbilly Bear?
I loved me some hillbilly bears.
This is 1965, friends.
And they'd come on on a Saturdayand they'd be Paul Rug.
The cute little bear, the littlegirl, she'd be playing a guitar,
a little teen girl, you know,she'd be playing that guitar.
(04:41):
She was a rocker.
You had the cool little kidbear, a little boy, Ma Bear.
Ma Bear.
She had that uh she'd always besmoking the corncob pipe.
And she had the scarf wrappedaround her head.
Oh, you had the suspenders, thehat.
(05:02):
You play that stand-up bass.
Sometimes you play the guitar.
You can never understand him.
Remember that guy?
So I want to watch this.
But no, first I think I'mclicking on it.
But then I see, wait a minute,what is this?
And I go back and look.
(05:22):
Unfortunately, I was watchingsomething called Cartoons
Mocked.
Poverty with funny bears by theMaybe Files.
SPEAKER_03 (05:32):
Oh my god.
SPEAKER_10 (05:34):
Cartoons mocked poverty with funny bears.
So I started to listen.
And I'm thinking, you gotta bekidding me.
I look at it so fondly.
Let me preface this by givingyou my opinion on it.
It was a cartoon I rememberfondly as a five-year-old kid.
(05:57):
Six years old, seven years old,whatever.
Oh well, five.
Okay.
So I loved it.
It's memorable.
You know why it's memorable?
Because it was a fun cartoon.
I liked waking up and watchingit.
SPEAKER_09 (06:12):
It's not memorable.
I'm wondering about my genderstrategies.
And I'm wondering, is thismocking poor people and
hillbillies?
SPEAKER_10 (06:24):
And you know, on one hand, you can't have certain
cartoons anymore.
Like let's say a fat Albert orcertain other cartoons.
Because you couldn't have theFrito Bandito.
Remember that?
We had the Frito Bandito, whichI love that too.
Come on.
You could not have SlowpokeRodriguez.
(06:44):
Because somehow that was racist,bull crap.
We loved the Frito Bandito.
We love slow poke Rodriguez.
Not a kid my age thought, gee,hmm, I wonder what the
implications are on Mexicanchildren.
Come on.
But they had to be canceled.
(07:06):
Right?
They had to be canceled.
Hillbilly Bears wasn't canceledbecause they were poking at
white people or hillbillies.
It was just a one just it wasone season.
That's just the way it is withsome shows.
And so I found this cartoon.
Now listen to this woke, has tobe a woke.
(07:27):
Alright, maybe I won't use theword woke.
May you know, maybe they thinkthey're just doing this
righteous thing.
Listen to the demeaning attitudein her voice.
SPEAKER_01 (07:48):
One season.
Only 26 episodes.
SPEAKER_10 (07:51):
Although I'm a big fan of sarcasm.
One season, 26 episodes, shesays.
SPEAKER_01 (07:56):
And then it should have faded into obscurity.
Why?
But it didn't.
It lingered.
Repackaged, replayed.
SPEAKER_10 (08:02):
Why should it have ling uh faded into obscurity?
Why?
SPEAKER_01 (08:07):
Please rerun for decades.
So the question is no longerwhat was this show?
The real question is, why dothey keep showing it to us?
Welcome to the Maybe Files.
Oh.
Where nostalgia gets p weird.
SPEAKER_10 (08:20):
No, because you're weird.
And you weren't around.
SPEAKER_01 (08:25):
Paw, ma, floral and shag.
SPEAKER_10 (08:28):
That's right, baby.
SPEAKER_01 (08:29):
They live in a shack.
That's right.
SPEAKER_10 (08:30):
I would have this t-shirt of the Hillbilly Bears.
They shoot things.
SPEAKER_01 (08:33):
They don't understand.
SPEAKER_10 (08:34):
They bicker and they shoot things.
Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_01 (08:36):
Paw, ma, floral, and shag.
They live in a shack.
They bicker.
They shoot things.
They don't understand much.
And they don't really want to.
Right.
SPEAKER_20 (08:45):
Bolly me.
SPEAKER_01 (08:47):
The humor is built around one idea.
These bears are stupid andviolent.
And that's funny.
The dad can't speak clearly.
SPEAKER_10 (09:03):
God, I love that.
No, they're not, they don't win.
That's fantastic.
SPEAKER_01 (09:09):
Just cartoon characters.
They're avatars of poverty.
Rural isolation.
SPEAKER_10 (09:13):
Avatars of poverty.
By the way, they're opening formy band.
Coming up next weekend, theAvatars of Poverty.
Listen to the exasperated voice.
Someone decided that should be achildren's cartoon.
SPEAKER_01 (09:37):
The Hillbilly Bears wasn't created in a vacuum.
SPEAKER_10 (09:40):
Now listen to this.
SPEAKER_01 (09:54):
Yes, sir.
Built on the idea that poorrural Americans are lovable,
laughable, and always just alittle behind the times.
SPEAKER_10 (10:02):
Yeah.
That's your take, and maybethat's what they were doing.
Sure.
SPEAKER_01 (10:06):
So when Hannah Barbera introduced the Hillbilly
Bears, they weren't breaking newground.
SPEAKER_10 (10:11):
By the way, let me say this.
All of those shows she justmentioned, Andy Griffith
included, all of those shows,those rural shows, when I think
it was CBS, I think they were onCBS.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
But anyhow, those shows were allnumber one in the ratings.
(10:32):
Numero uno.
Number one.
These shows were canceled attheir very peak.
Because at that point, that iswhen the network decided, yeah,
let's get a go ahead and getaway from this rural comedy,
just like what she's talkingabout.
We need to get away from this.
(10:54):
Well, these were all number oneshows.
SPEAKER_01 (10:57):
They were cashing in on a proven, profitable
stereotype.
This time in cartoon form.
And by putting it in achildren's show, they made sure
that stereotype had a very longshelf life.
SPEAKER_10 (11:08):
Let me tell you something again now about the
stereotype.
The way she delivers it, it'sthe stereotype of these there's
these just downtrodden peoplethat we look.
It's a freaking cartoon, man.
I don't look at Green Acres orBeverly Hillbillies and sit
(11:29):
there and think that gee.
And by the way, BeverlyHillbillies had millions of
dollars, right?
The clampets?
So they weren't impoverished, asI recall.
They were at one point untilthey, you know, had millions.
Mr.
Drysdale wanted to keep thatmoney in the bank.
I love his voice.
SPEAKER_01 (11:51):
Paw Rugg doesn't solve problems.
He doesn't reflect.
He doesn't grow.
What he does in nearly everyepisode is shoot his rifle into
the ceiling.
Good.
At the sky.
At nothing.
And it's always funny.
The message is clear.
It sure was.
Violence is comedy.
SPEAKER_10 (12:10):
Yeah, the message is clear.
You're an idiot.
Especially when it's- Yeah,after we watch this, you know
what we do?
We go get our guns, we go shootstuff randomly and laugh.
All those hillbilly bears, lookwhat they made us do.
Uh huh.
SPEAKER_01 (12:26):
It's an old man in a rotting house firing randomly
while grunting.
This isn't a cowboy shootout.
It's not a hero's journey.
It's an old man in a rottinghouse firing randomly while
grunting.
SPEAKER_10 (12:37):
Now you just said that.
By the way, banjo rules.
They use it in a mocking form.
SPEAKER_01 (12:43):
Why is this the thing they chose to preserve and
rerun for children over threedecades?
SPEAKER_10 (12:47):
Because it was funny and we enjoyed it.
Get it?
Maybe files, please.
Just quit whimpering and whiningabout stuff that you don't know
anything about.
Now I want to watch theHillbilly Bears without you
talking.
Just for a minute.
SPEAKER_20 (13:16):
Didn't I listen to my mother and become a milkman?
SPEAKER_12 (13:22):
Howdy.
SPEAKER_10 (13:22):
They used to always have those jokes in every show.
I should have listened to mybrother-in-law, but an insurance
salesman.
They always had those kind ofjokes back then.
So on this Saturday morning, Ithought, you know what, why not?
And by the way, today'sSeptember 27th, 2025.
It's a beautiful day.
It's gonna be, uh, I think injust in the upper 80s today.
(13:44):
I have band practice today.
But I thought, here's some otherclips that they may not enjoy,
but I do.
From obscure.
The obscure cartoons from thepast.
I mean, heck, if you didn't likethe Hillbilly Bears, how would
they possibly like thisincredibly great cartoon that I
(14:05):
always loved?
A beloved cartoon that now wouldnever get any airtime because
it's somehow racist and mean.
When in actuality it was just afun cartoon growing up.
Go, go, go first.
SPEAKER_19 (14:18):
Go, go first, watch them, go, go, go.
SPEAKER_26 (14:21):
Two little Indians, no others near.
SPEAKER_18 (14:25):
Colonel he vows, these two soon disappear.
Fighting the army blue soldiersgalore.
SPEAKER_02 (14:32):
What can two Indians do?
SPEAKER_19 (14:36):
Go, go, go, first, watch them, go, go, go.
Go, go, go, first, watch them,go, go, go.
SPEAKER_10 (14:42):
By the way, we loved, loved the Indians in this
show.
I mean, we liked the uh, it waskind of like F-Troop in a way,
like the TV show with LarryStorch in a way, almost like a
John Wayne, Larry Storch kind ofcartoon where they had the fort,
and they were cool too.
But we loved the Indians too.
(15:03):
Come on, give me a break.
SPEAKER_19 (15:07):
Go, go, gophers, watch him, go, go, go.
SPEAKER_10 (15:10):
Look at the flying teepee.
SPEAKER_19 (15:12):
Go, go, gophers, watch him, go, go, go.
SPEAKER_10 (15:15):
And they would dispense with these guys.
Like, they would always beat theuh the soldiers in a little
fight.
I love the gibberish, the waythey would talk.
The go-go gophers.
SPEAKER_26 (15:31):
What you do?
I love a random picture.
Colonel You play him joke onColonel.
Oh, him think him treasure map,then him get fooled.
SPEAKER_10 (15:45):
Well, you can just hear that that guy's voice, and
what is in so many of thesecartoons of the day.
There were little gophers.
You know what?
We watched Cowboys and Indianmovies on TV.
Cowboy and Indian movies.
Didn't we?
I mean, that's you'd watch thatin the 60s, Cowboys.
There was nothing.
These were beloved characters.
(16:07):
To somehow, wow, we can't showthat.
The race.
We loved these Indiancharacters.
Here's another one.
Can't have this anymore.
Even though we absolutely loved,I mentioned it before, Slow Polk
Rodriguez.
I would wear a slow PolkRodriguez t-shirt.
(16:28):
I love this guy so much.
SPEAKER_14 (16:30):
Which is you.
Maybe Slow Polk is pretty slowdownstairs in the feet.
But he's pretty fast upstairs inthe cabeza.
SPEAKER_10 (16:51):
How can you not love that character?
Like he's running around, he'sgot the stick with the back
hanging from it, like he'srunning away from home.
I always loved in these cartoonsfrom Looney Tunes and Tom and
(17:15):
Jerry and all this.
The little mice would alwayshave that little door at the
bottom of the wall, you know.
Casa de Gonzalez.
SPEAKER_13 (17:37):
Maybe Jose.
Instead we tried to catch theSpeed Gonzalez.
We should have cut SlopocRodriguez.
The slowest mass in all Mexico.
SPEAKER_10 (17:52):
I love that cartoon.
You know, we look at it sodifferent.
Now this was a stereotype and arace.
You know what it was for kids?
And I'm speaking on behalf ofkids who you claim were
influenced by this.
We absolutely loved them.
Go, go gophers, slow prokeRodriguez.
(18:13):
We loved them.
What are you talking about?
Then there were other cartoons,the ones that never get talked
about.
One, two, three, two, three.
Tennessee touched Tennessee,Tuck Towns.
And Chumley, right?
Mr.
Whoopee.
Come on, boys.
Let me get my 3D BB.
Uh, G Tennessee.
(18:34):
I loved this.
SPEAKER_06 (18:36):
Tennessee Tuxedo.
SPEAKER_10 (18:40):
Isn't this the one where they had Commander Brag
Commander McBrag?
Was it Tennessee Tuxedo?
Did they have Commander McBrag?
Did I ever tell you the story ofthe day that I Yes, you yes, and
the butler would go, Yes, you'vetold me that it naws him.
Well, let me tell you onceagain.
(19:02):
But this is a great cartoon.
Yeah, they always go to Mr.
Whoopi's office.
He'd have the Come on, boys, letme get my 3D BB, and he'd open
it up and explain.
SPEAKER_03 (19:29):
Animals cleverly adapted by nature to live in
sub-freezing temperatures, likethe penguin.
And the uh walrus.
That's funny.
I thought walrus is.
SPEAKER_10 (19:41):
By the way, Don Adams is Tennessee Tuxedo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Still one of my favorite cartoonimpersonations.
G Tennessee.
Well, I was headed south, but Imust have overshot.
And they'd always get into thatsticky situation.
They're trying to figure out,well, what can we do?
(20:04):
Well, again, you go see Mr.
Whoopi.
SPEAKER_23 (20:07):
I know.
It's time to see Mr.
Whoopee.
Let's go.
SPEAKER_10 (20:11):
Yeah.
Always fun to go see Mr.
Whoopee.
SPEAKER_06 (20:15):
Oh, boy, is my three.
Do you have a riddle chum read?
Why isn't my nose 12 incheslong?
Because that would make it afoot.
SPEAKER_10 (20:28):
It's 3D BB.
Anyhow, Mr.
Whoopee.
SPEAKER_23 (20:32):
See, Mr.
Whoopi, we've gotta learn how tobuild a motor for this car, or
Mr.
Malinoff is going to play us atune on his fiddle.
Well, boys.
SPEAKER_03 (20:42):
He's going to shoot it with a gun.
SPEAKER_06 (20:45):
Mmm.
Well, I guess we'd better uhstep on the gas, eh?
Now, where did I put mythree-dimensional blackboard?
Yep.
Perhaps in the closet.
It's 3D BB.
It'd be all cluttered.
Here it is, my fantastic 3D BB.
SPEAKER_10 (21:06):
See, I haven't seen that in years.
That's how beloved thesecartoons are to me.
And who can forget, of course,Saturday mornings would not be
the same without this incrediblecartoon.
Fat Alberts.
I also love the banana splits.
Remember that?
Hey, hey, hey! Bill Cosby, FatAlbert.
Oh my god, it's Bill Cosby.
(21:28):
How could he be influencingkids?
Because he was a smart comedygenius.
And this show is fantastic.
Every year I still watch theHalloween episode.
During Halloween, the Cosbykids.
And they would always have showsabout, you know, why you don't
(21:50):
want to cheat in class and andyou know why you would want to
study.
Or if you were dealing with theloss of a friend, they dealt
with issues.
SPEAKER_00 (22:01):
Coming at you with music and fun.
But if you're not careful, youmay learn something before it's
done.
SPEAKER_10 (22:12):
I love the characters.
Yeah, and they would always tryto help each other.
They'd try to help each other syou know with moral dilemmas and
things.
And they were very nice kids.
(22:33):
They were just trying to havefun, but they were really nice
kids.
Here's an obscure one.
Anyone remember?
Adam Adam Adam up and Adam Adam.
SPEAKER_12 (22:48):
Up and Adam, it's Adamant.
It's right.
It's fight.
It's made.
It's fight.
It's Adam and Fighting Ad is acomic power.
That's what it tastes.
And always makes the fellowpower.
It's rough.
It's tough.
SPEAKER_10 (23:23):
I love Saturday morning cartoons of the best.
Adamant.
Talk about obscure.
Going back to 65, weathering thestorm.
Remember, Underdog.
This was a great cartoon.
SPEAKER_05 (23:39):
There's no need to fear.
Underdog is here.
Great song for the underdogshow, starring that champion of
champions, underdog.
SPEAKER_10 (23:55):
I love the theme songs.
You know, and what I liked aboutTennessee Tuxedo and like the
Alvin show, Alvin and theChipmunks, and Underdog, and
some of these.
Also, of course, who couldforget one of my all-time
favorites, Rocky and Bullwinkle?
They would always have differentsegments within the cartoon.
Commander McBrag or FracturedFairy Tales or what have you.
(24:18):
Always different little littleepisodes of different things.
Simon Barr Sinister.
Sweet Polly Purebred was alwaysin trouble.
Oh my goodness.
But this is one of my favorites,I gotta say.
SPEAKER_04 (24:38):
Last time you remember, the citizens of
Frostbite Falls had the shock oftheir lives when every TV
antenna in town mysteriouslydisappeared.
Their reaction wasinstantaneous.
Our lives are ruined.
Some people refuse to admit thatthe terrible thing had happened.
SPEAKER_10 (24:52):
These are the greatest voices and cartoons of
all time, in my opinion.
SPEAKER_04 (24:55):
And set doggedly before their sets anyway.
SPEAKER_10 (24:58):
Yeah, and I'm talking about these voices in
Loon Aaron uh uh um uh Rocky andBullwinkle, but of course Mel
Blank, like I said.
Some of these others just thebirds.
SPEAKER_04 (25:07):
Both resorted to ingenious methods of
substitution.
So remember, friends, getJohnson's voice pointers in the
red and blue box.
SPEAKER_24 (25:14):
Oh, that's great, Henry.
The one about the dog food.
SPEAKER_04 (25:17):
Still others didn't notice any change at all.
Love these sea stories.
But the most mysterious thing ofall was the way the antennas had
sitting in a laundromat watchingthe watching disappeared.
SPEAKER_02 (25:27):
You may not believe this, boys, but every one of
them was bitten off.
Bitten off?
You mean there's some metalmunching monster loose in this
home?
Now let's not jump toconclusions, boys.
There's probably some logicalexplanation.
Sure make a better story my way.
(25:53):
I'll need some help on thiscase.
That's me.
Somebody who's brave andtrustworthy, that's me, and
smart as a whip.
SPEAKER_10 (26:01):
That's him.
SPEAKER_02 (26:01):
That's him.
SPEAKER_10 (26:05):
Tell me I don't have these memorized.
I actually use that as a littlegoofy liner on my radio show,
the Pat Wall Show.
Please support local business,patspeeps.com.
So I would say Rocky andBullwinkle is one of my all-time
favorites.
Here's another one we watchedfor a period of time.
I think this one may have onlybeen on one season.
I don't know.
If it was on more than oneseason, I'd be amazed.
(26:27):
Oh, I just thought of anotherone.
Because I'll go from the best toone of the worst, but memorable.
How about Roger Ramjet?
Remember this one?
Roger Ramjet and his Eaglesfighting for our freedom.
Fly through in and outer space,not to join him, but to be the I

He's the man, hero of our nation.
For his adventures, just be sureand stay tuned to the station.
Join us all you kids for lots offun and laughter.
As Roger Ranchett and his menget all the proof they're after.

Brassbottom.
SPEAKER_08 (27:35):

unknown (28:02):
Ramjet.
SPEAKER_10 (28:03):
Roger Ramjet.
That's right.
Oh, here's another.
So obscure.

Hercules?
And he's and it's sung by JohnnyNash, the same guy that sang, I

Hercules! Winner of ancientglory.
Johnny Nash! Fighting for theright, fighting with his might,
with the strength of tenordinary men, Hercules, people

Leonardo was a I don't knowwhich one was which.
It was the the tall guy with themustache.
And he'd always invent somethingon the blackboard.
(31:42):
There'd always be the tall guywith the big nose and the
mustache.
And they had the white lab coatson, and he would invent
something to put it on thechalkboard, and the little bald
dude with the ring of hairaround his head with the white
lab coat, he'd go, he'd tap itand he'd go, and he'd whisper
something in his ear, and thenhe would redraw, and then he'd
look at it and go, Oh, you'reright.
Leonardo, I think maybe he wasanyway, we'll get it straight.
(32:05):
I remember one that stands outin my mind is he drew a woman,
and a woman was in curlers, justreally like maybe the rolling
pin in her hand.
I don't know, whatever it was,just very angry and thumpy and
mean, and the little guy and heright he redraws it.
It's like this super hot womanin a bikini goes, I think you're
