I Did Not Know…

Huge shocker to me. 

Olan Soule, who played choir director (and occasional hotel clerk) John Masters on The Andy Griffith Show provided the voice for


BATMAN on the Superfriends cartoon.

Now that I’ve heard it? It can’t be unheard. 

This changes everything about my childhood.

Good ole 14A.....But Barney can't sing!

[Kaos]

But..... this was BATMAN?!?!?!?



FWIW, Casey Kasem was the voice of Robin on that cartoon series.  Ted Knight voiced Flash. 

I'm flummoxed.

Don't forget Shaggy on Scooby Do.

Gayest random facts you will see on this thread....so far.  But they came across my bookfaces feed, so:

Gay/Not Ghey, Victor Willis was the lead singer of the Village People, and wrote all their songs.  He is not gay, and was married to Phylicia Rashad, Claire Huckstable from The Cosby Show.

Ghey or Just Pedo: In Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal, the line, "Annie are you okay" is said a ton of times.  "Annie" refers to Annie, the CPR Doll that people learn on.  "Are you okay", is the first thing you are supposed to ask before starting CPR. The song is about a girl getting murdered in her apartment.

Gayest!  Prove me wrong.

The song is about a girl getting murdered in her apartment.

What a total shocker.  Based on the lyrics I would have never come up with this interpretation.

Lyric:

As he came into the window
It was the sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom

Pfffft....no way you could get that from those lyrics.

I also did not know.....

That Bill Murray was arrested when he was 20, for trying to smuggle 10 pounds of the wacky tobacky on a plane.  He fricked his own self, by trying to joke with a fellow passenger that he brought a bomb on the plane.

It is amazing how AI constructs our individualized feeds based on algorithms that have our personalities, behaviors, etc. pegged to a pinpoint. Snag’s  algorithm is obviously more geared for retards.

Things I didn’t know sitcom version:

Before finally casting Alan Hale as skipper, one of the primary considerations was Archie Bunker himself. 

I’m trying to imagine that. 

“Gilligan, you meathead.  Get ovah here, youse.”

I know I've talked about this before with Caddyshack.  But it's funny to try and picture the "what if's" with regard to certain characters. Don Rickles was originally considered for Dangerfield's, Al Czervik.  I'm older, and grew up with Rickles being one of the top comedians of his time.  They were spot on in trying to cast him for that role, because Rickles' whole schtick was Czervik X 10. 

Not even remotely trying to say he would have played the role better than Rodney.  Not at all. RD was the man.  Just that I don't think the movie would be thought of in any different light had Rickles played it.

Wasn’t he also Jeff Pruitt - the guy that kept literally picking up women in Mayberry and tried to steal Thel from Barn?

Archie Bunker?

[War Damn Six]

Archie Bunker?

Alan Hale

[Kaos]

Alan Hale

Yeah. I know.  My smartass isn’t landing with you these days, cowpoke. 

And yep.  The skipper was Jeff Pruitt.  He even called Barney “little buddy.”

Been watching this O. Henry Playhouse series from 1957 on Fawesome which amounts to 39 episodes over three seasons. The lead role is played by none other than character actor Thomas Mitchell (Uncle Billy) for those who are familiar w "It's a Wonderful Life." A young Alan Hale (as mentioned) is in one story. DeForest Kelley, Charles Bronson, John Carradine, Ernest Borgnine, Maureen Stapleton, Otto Krueger are seen in other half hour episodes. Nothing riveting just adequate sleep prep for old men.


* So in 1952 a movie titled O. Henry's Full House came out that was divided into five segments and the Christmas story line from Ben being in jail in Mayberry would have found its inspiration from the O. Henry short story "The Cop and the Anthem," which is one of the segments.


The movie is loaded with stars within each segment including the likes of Anne Baxter, Jeanne Crain, Farley Granger, Marilyn Monroe, Richard Widmark, Warner Baxter et al.
It's also narrated by John Steinbeck.


I'm certain some of these people were commies before I was even born and I must confess I have not checked their papers nor do I have knowledge of their political affiliation to pass judgement.
