"The Fox and the Crow Show" - !!! It really DOES exist!

[Pietro]

The other day, I found some shocking information.
In 1963, Columbia Pictures decided to create a 26-episode syndicated television show, entitled "The Fox and the Crow Show." It featured only cartoons from Columbia's In-house cartoon studio (1929-1949). Every Fox and Crow cartoon was shown, except for "Mysto Fox." King Features forbidded them to show the only true Krazy Kat cartoon, "Lil' Aingil," because it closely resembled their Krazy Kat shorts. I told Jack and said he might known more about this lost TV show......

You sure you didn't find out this information only... yesterday, Pietro? :rolleyes:

[Pietro]

Yeah, I did. It was actually supposed to be an April Fools joke.

Good one, Pietro. I actually thought it was real at first! :eek:

I thought you were talking about a real show. Back in the 1960s and even later, many cartoons were shown on television that don't air anymore.

Also, remember when Jack closed this thread for being off-topic on a GC board? Now that was a good one. It has me laughing now.
