Late Night Black & White- 7/23/01

[NickM]

Here we go again...

"The Film Fan" (WB- Released 12/16/39)
"Problem Pappy" (Fleischer- Popeye- Released 1/10/41)
"Cleaning House" (MGM- Captain and the Kids- Released 2/19/38)
"Porky the Gob" (WB- Released 12/17/38)
"Fightin' Pals" (Fleischer- Popeye- Released 7/12/40)
"Goopy Geer" (WB- Released 4/16/32)- edited?


"Cleaning House" was the first Captain and the Kids cartoon for MGM

"Fightin' Pals" had it's original AAP titles, but no closing!

Also, the show ended at :51, THEY COULD HAVE SHOWED ANOTHER CARTOON!

Sorry for my irreverant shouting... but they're just waisting airtime...

...and the Bosko/Buddy crisis continues....

Well, we got "Porky the Gob" twice in 24 hours, colorized on the Looney Tunes Show Sunday morning and now in B&W, and we got one of the ultra-rare Myron Waldman Popeyes ("Problem Pappy"), which is a good thing, because that means we didn't get one of those Pudgy the dog Betty Boop cartoon that Waldman specialized in at Fleisher's.

And someone at CN needs to get ahold of the 1967-68 colorized version of "The Film Fan" which has the corrent opening and closing title music, and at least dub it back onto the B&W version.

Why couldn't they just pull the opening music off of any 1939/1940 LT? The opening music on the redrawns was not always complete, it always broke in after about the first 6 or 7 seconds.

Most TV prints are just the Sunset Films-derived prints.

In other words....when WB finishes their "big remaster" on the cartoons, there shouldn't be any problems or non-original titles.

I can't believe you forgot the big surprise from last night -
no PD prints of Betty Boop cartoons!

Hey, almost all Acme Hours end at about :51. But nooooo. They show mostly banal Groovies or Shorties before more shameless Scooby-Doo promoting. What a world.:mad:

[Sveven Dvorking]

This paragraph is total truth. Shows that end at :51 can NOT have an extra cartoon. That would push it into :57, which is already into commercial time. In order for there to be even a chance of a seventh cartoon, the show must end at 50:20 or earlier.

On a seperate note, Problem Pappy is not rare. It is actually overplayed.

This was a very good show for me. Thanks to this show, I now have all the Captain and the Kids cartoons. I also needed the B&W version of Porky the Gob, and the Popeye cartoon Fightin' Pals.

[J Lee]

What's rare is a Myron Waldman Popeye cartoon on LNB&W. He hardly made any Popeyes during the series' 24-year run at Paramount, but we've seen tons of Waldman's cartoons on LNB&W over the past several months, all of them public domain Betty Boops and almost all of them starring that gawdawful little dog. Even a mediocre Popeye like "Problem Pappy" is better than that.

[Nelson]

Yeah but they can show a "GARBAGE GARBAGE" catoon after that god awful "Scooby Doo Movies" with nine minutes remaining, so why don't CN do the same for LNB&W and the Acme Hour?
This make me sick:mad:

[Joe Tully]

It's all part of their plan to make us love the Cartoon Cartoons by cramming them down our throats.

I used to purposely tune in at the end of Scooby Movies when they used to run HB toons as the Toon Extras. Even if it was something like Kwicky Koala, I'd be glad that I got to see something that I'm not usually exposed to. I guess those happy days left when Boomerang came along. I hope my cable system gets access to Boomerang soon.

[TServo2049]

You know, Joe, there wouldn't be room for a Toon Extra if CN's prints of the Scooby-Doo Movies didn't have a few minutes cut out of them! CN edited them for time back in 1995, originally so they could show a World Premiere Toon during the time slot.
