grillmeister Felix the Cat, The wonderful, wonderful cat. You'll laugh so much your sides will ache, Your heart'll go piddy-pat, All for Felix, the wonderful cat. Felix was a pretty laid back kind of cat, that is until his neighbors the Professor and Rock Bottom started scheming. Sometimes the Master Cylinder (who lived on Mars) would get into the action as well. No problem for Felix. He would just reach into his yellow bag of tricks and viola--what ever was needed to take care of the bad guys was there! He also had

grillmeister Simply put, Popeye was the man! Not only was he able to survive life visually impared, but he was able to dominate the forces of evil given the infusion of a a few Vitamans! While his debut in the comics was in 1929, Popeye first appeared on the big screen in 1933 with the help of Max and Dave Fleischer.

Real 1960's events eventually encroached on the show when I saw R

grillmeister You can bet your bippie that Laugh In was the sign of changing times! The fast pace and just plain silliness of this ground-breaking sketch comedy show appealed to many kids as well as adults. Laugh In had an almost Pythonesque style of comedy and was not afraid to poke fun at the political figures of the day. For me, Laugh In marked the beginning of Mainstream America's gradual acceptance of at least some of the 1960's counterculture. Go-go dancers with psychedelic body paint invaded suburban living rooms

grillmeister The gold standard of comedy. Period. During the 1930's and 1940's, the original trio of Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard elevated the art of Vaudvillian slapstick to its zenith. After the ailing Curly left the team, brother Shemp Howard and later Joe DeRita took his place. Although still very entertaining, the magic seemed to wane with each successive replacement. Originally intended as theater shorts, The Three Stooges adapted perfectly to the new medium of television. My Stoogian indoctrination o
