Nothing wrong with your voice talents, but Mel Blanc is numero uno in my book.

Oh. My. God. YUM indeed!!!
Probably not the best video to post for a guy that's been stuck in the desert for a year and still has 364 days to go (not that I'm counting of course).
Ok...back to the video...:tongue:

"June Foray is not the female Mel Blanc. Mel Blanc was the male June Foray." - Chuck Jones, animator
June Foray did everything from the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Natasha Natal, and Dudley Do-Right's girlfriend Nell Fenwick, to the cat in Walt Disney's Cinderella.

Good information Ken, thanks. To Be honest I had never even heard of her until you posted about her, but am certainly familiar with her work. It's stories like hers that make me wonder how many female accomplishments have been attributed to males during the old sexist regime days.

"Be Seeing You"
WHAT!????!!! I had no idea they were finally releasing that, after years of waiting. I loved that as a kid and only have a crappy videotape now.
That show was the subject of years of discord between my beloved sister and me; the last episode was broadcast on Wonderful World of Disney the same time as the Beatles' appearance on Ed Sullivan - we only had one TV in our family, and she won.
I gotta go pre-order that on Amazon! Thanks!
The theme song has been running endlessly through my brain for years: "Scarecrow! Scarecrow! The soldiers of the king feared his name! Scarecrow! Scarecro-ow! The country-folk all loved him just the same! Scarecrow! So the king told all his soldiers - hang him high or hang him low! But never return, 'til the day I learn, he's gone in flames below! Scarecrow! Scarecrow! Sc-a-ar-e-c-rrrr-o-wwwww!! (Cue McGoohan's crazy, maniacal laughter)."

sigokat Wrote:Mad,
The sad thing is is that I know what both U.N.C.L.E. and T.H.R.U.S.H. actually stand for!!!
Me too - a lot of people know what UNCLE stands for, you have to be a total spy-nerd to know THRUSH's meaning, so you get major points - and it's so over-the-top, too.
I can still tell you what SHIELD and THUNDER mean, too. Even ShMERSH (which I was surprised to learn in college was a real unit!)

I had such a crush on her when I was a kid. Did you know Rashida Jones (who played Karen on "The Office" - Jim's bounceback girlfriend) is the daughter of Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones?
I also remember being a huge fan of :"Dark Shadows" as a kid - my sister and I would watch every episode all summer, then try to stay home from school by faking illness so we could try to catch up on storylines once school started (no videotapes then, of course). I thought Lara Parker (Angelique) was pretty hot. Just saw her as Peter Fonda's wife in the drive-in classic "Race With the Devil."
