So I'm at Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation Festival and I saw a lot
of neat things.  Can anybody add to/elaborate on/say more about/give a history
of any of the following:

	- An old Flintstones commercial for Winston cigarettes
          (Barney and Fred are behind the house smoking...)

	- Inbred Fred's cartoons.  (Beavus and Butthead series)

	- Dog Pile


A friend of mine said he has seen some of these on MTV before.  Has anyone else?

I like the fact that he isn't on the credits.  I remember near the end of
Eddie Murphy's run when he was only on every other show.  It seemed like
they were using his name to get you to keep watching.

Wile E. Coyote chases the Roadrunner through a series of pipes that get
progressively smaller.  When they exit the small end, they notice that they're
small and run through it the other was.  The Roadrunner returns to normal
size, but Wile E. Coyote remains small.  He clings onto the Roadrunner's
leg, thinking he has him, but then he looks up.....
....the Roadrunner looks down, and gives out a big, deep, menacing "BEEP BEEP!"

him, what in the world will I do with him?"

Yes, Jan was on that night (May 12, 1990).  Nora was introduced at

of the show that he wasn't sure if she was there or not.  :-)

Hello, everyone,


I started watching QL and was wondering what the show is
all about. I never saw the first episode but I saw the one where he went
back and met the wife he didn't know he had. It seems that when
he leaps, he forgets his past, which includes his wife. But the other
night, he met his piano teacher from when he was 15 years old? Why did
he remember her? 

What year is he from? Does he obtain some of the person's memory
and skills when he leaps into him/her? I wish I could see the
first episode.

this hasn't gotten that bad yet (sorry Dean, I'm more forgiving than

Well, the England thing had a good idea, but Part 3 was extremely bad.
A friend of mine had an idea.  Have Al hit the lottery or something, 
and make 'em kind of like The Beverly Hillbillies.   I really liked 
"Al Bundy, Shoe Dick."   Had nothing to do with classic Bundy concept, 
but it worked really well.

On another note, did anyone ever get the Married With Children 
commercial that played in movie theatres a couple of years ago?
There was a commercial filmed for some charity that they were 
collecting from in the theatres.   IT was extremely funny, and was 
filmed (I'd guess) during the era where Marcy was single.  (As she had 
no husband in it).   It all took place on their couch, and was about 2 
mintues long.    This, and the "Lost Episode" are the 2 pieces of 
Bundy History that I don't have on tape.   Anyone got 'em?

Not true, the original YBYL had George Fenneman as Groucho;s sidekick.  He 
played straight man to Groucho's comedy.

BTW, does anyone know what channel in Canada gets YBYL?  I live in Ottawa 
and haven't seen it in any of the guides?

I'm dissapointed in the QL Season Premiere. I think the multiple leaping
was confusing and never allowed an actual storyline.  Plus what was this
BS about "the first time Jackie was killed to." That was really stupid. I'm
a big QL fan but I really was sorry I sat through all 2 hours! I think a much
better ending would have been if he was there to save some little kid that
might have been hit by a stray bullet or something.

Wierd, but I was just trying to think of the name of this

started.

Anyways, (or is it Anyway,?) the theme song
goes like:

It's the New Zoo Revue,
Coming Back for you.

Which prompts me to ask if there was an OLD Zoo Revue.

Well, I didn't think it was that bad of an episode.  Predictable as
all hell, but still a fun piece of fluff (Though I kept thinking it
was some scriptwriters secret fantasy brought to life 8-).  They
probably wanted something light after last weeks episode (Oswald, as
if anyone could forget) and this one fit the bill.

Next week does look interesting.

Don't think he's donned the tights yet, but in 1959 he had a top 10 record:
"Deck Of Cards" (fortunately spoken & not sang!)
