Bill Scott and June Foray were probably those who did the most, to be certain that I would forever be unfit for polite company. I will always be grateful.Typeminer wrote:My mother always said that worked the other way around.

William Conrad. He did a lot of stuff. He was the original Matt Dillon in the radio version of Gunsmoke, and never got over being dumped when it moved to television.Opus the Poet wrote:Wasn't William Cannon the narrator with the "best" puns?Dave wrote: Bill Scott and June Foray were probably those who did the most, to be certain that I would forever be unfit for polite company.

Conrad got to make a lot of them, yes, since the "tune in next time" almost always had one built in. And, the narrator ended up as the designated stuckee for one really brilliant/horrid pun, which both Rocky and Bullwinkle said they were unwilling or too embarrassed to actually say on the air (it involved a jewel-encrusted toy boat... I later stole this pun and incorporated it into the version of the Adventure computer role-playing game I developed).Opus the Poet wrote:Wasn't William Cannon the narrator with the "best" puns?

Mr. Peabody (voiced by Bill Scott) was accorded the honor of making most of the really soul-searing ones. If I had a dime for every time Sherman winced, I'd have a lot of dimes.
I had the chance to attend a talk by Bill Scott and June Foray, at UCLA, some decades ago, and during the Q&A session I asked Mr. Scott "Who was your punster?". He confessed to having written a lot of them... "We were't trying to write what was funny for kids... we were writing what we thought was funny, period."

My Saturday morning cartoons were from the 70s, but the feeling is the same. I remember us having to turn on the big, built-into-a-big-wooden-cabinet B&W TV 5 or 10 minutes ahead of the show we would want to watch, in order for it to warm up...Just Old Al wrote:Thank you, Omar Kayak.....Hansontoons wrote:

Yes, indeed...Saturday morning frittered away in one's pajamas eating cereal and waiting for one's favourite cartoon to come on.
Brain Fart, William Conrad played detective Bill Cannon on the TV show Cannon. I still make that same mistake over and over, since the '80s.Typeminer wrote:William Conrad. He did a lot of stuff.

I think it could have been great.
