In “The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show”, Penny has an unexplained dislike of the geeky and friendly Moonrock and only refers to him as “Creep”. In the episode “The Birthday Present”, while searching for Pebbles’s missing birthday present for Wilma, the kids investigate at the Gruesomes’ spooky house and are spooked by Gobby and his giant spider. Penny apparently jumps into Moonrock’s arms while Wiggy leaps onto his shoulders.

S IS FOR SUPERMAN!

Even though I was older than the target audience for Sesame Street when it premiered in 1969, my siblings were not, and I sometimes watched it along with them.

I was especially fond of the episodes sponsored by the letter S, because it probably meant I would get to see this little gem:

Please note that Superman is NOT voiced here by Bud Collyer, the man who had voiced the character on radio, in the Fleischer short films, and in previous Filmation cartoons. This Sesame Street segment was produced in 1970, a year after Collyer passed away.

Superman is voiced here instead by actor Lennie Weinrib. Weinrib would reprise the role in 1972 in an episode of Filmation's animated series The Brady Kids, when the six siblings meet Superman.

*Agree, disagree; have I left anyone out? Let me know what you think.

**Cameron Monaghan did not specifically portray The Joker in the television show Gotham; but rather a thinly veiled alternative due to licensing rights or some such matter. Yet The Joker and Jerome were essentially a difference without a distinction...

Cartoon Network Friday Spotlight: Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo- “Twenty Thousand Screams Under the Sea”

Scrappy-Doo remains among the most controversial additions to the Scooby-Doo franchise... Mindy Kaling’s take on Velma notwithstanding. 

If you ask the crew who worked on the franchise or Hanna-Barbera at the time, they’ll either call Scrappy the savior of the franchise or a necessary evil to keep it afloat. The fact is that ABC, who had given Scooby’s previous shows a home, were looking to not bring back the studio’s biggest cash cow of the 70′s unless some changes were made, and adding in a tough-minded nephew seemed to have done the trick, keeping Scooby around well into the 80′s. From what I can gather, kids at the time liked Scrappy, but when older fans who returned to the franchise during Cartoon Network’s heyday in the 90′s and early 2000′s got a hold of his material, he wasn’t very well received, and thus became the butt of many a joke since.

Scrappy... kind of deserves it, although not every project he was in stunk. I think that his first series was a tolerable continuation of the monster of the week format, even though he was one monster hunter too many, and he does get annoying. I have less defense for the run where it’s just him, Scooby, and Shaggy, though.

Here’s a decent episode from that first series, where the gang is resting in the beaches of Acapulco as they intend to watch a cliff diving competiton. The star diver, Tiger Morris is late, and from there the beach city is haunted by a sea beast. Who has to solve it? Three guesses, and the first two don’t count.

I generally prefer this when Scrappy isn’t a big part of it, as Lennie Weinrib’s strong New York voice grows old fast. I actually prefer Don Messick’s later take on the character, but it has its moments, and cool atmosphere with the dark sea before a reveal that makes sense.

I’m not looking forward to tomorrow because it’ll be 18 years since Lennie Weinrib died…
