I wish this could mean seeing the Popeye and early LT in their original black & white during the normal Acme Hour, at least in the late night slot.

Ah, I can DRRRREAM,CAN'T I? :)

Seems like maybe those that are on our side over at CN were able to give us a little gift.

About I Yam Lovesick, you have to listen VERY closely, and I don't always hear it even when I do, during the sequence when Bluto's picture mocks Popeye in a then-unusually gravelly voice. One of Popeye's trademark mumbles, when you can hear it, goes:"Sounds like he has a cold"

It's one of my favorite mumblisms(to coin a word). Very funny. I put my ears closer to my TV and heard the line last night. It's one of those things you can only hear sometimes, like in the Beatles' A Day in the Life, when the alarm clock is heard at the start of Paul's part of the song, sometimes you can hear him mumble "telephone" , and I listen on headphones and can only make it out sometimes.
It's not on Anthology, but I'm certain it's there.

I'll quit now while I'm OT. This post goes 'round and 'round...
...and it comes out here! :D
