Hanna-Barbera's The Huckleberry Hound show

 This set is Wonderful! Not only does it look great and have all the right bridging sections/bumpers, but it looks amazing and has all of the Kelloggs cast commercials! I didn't realize that the Kelloggs commercials would feature the Huckleberry hound club, the Huck bowl and Yogi cup, the Yogi sleeping promotion (which had store displays), 

Hanna Barbera masks and more! Amazing! I am so Thankful to have these sets on physical media/blu ray, because I can not watch Me TV toons at all. Has anyone tried to watch this channel? They air commercials for people who are 85-95 during every commercial break! A cartoon channel!!!! Every single commercial break has Oak Street health (a 3 minute annoying commercial), purewick catheters, inogen oxygen, depends diapers in the incontinence isle, allied injury group with a bug eyed guy, who looks like mayor Johnson yelling a whole bunch of idiotic things! Absolutely rotten! And all the Me TV channels are like this, which makes them unwatchable to me! Thank God they are still releasing physical media, as that is all I watch! Bravo to the Producers on the Huckleberry set!!!!!!!!! #Hannabarbera #Thehuckleberryhoundshow #fridayvibes

Did some R/B holiday radio this week!

Friends are a BIG part of what I do! Thank You to everyone that came out to the Chicago Toy Show and for all of your support!

 Rocky Sodin gave me a big hand with the booth!  I appear at his Southside Comic book show each year!

 I hadn't seen my friend Tim Lawson in a while!  He lives in Galesburg, IL now!  He wrote the book The Magic Behind the Voice Actors and introduced me to many of my friends in the voice business including June Foray!

 This couple saw me at Monster Bash a few years back and picked up my Mad Monster Party book!  I did a large panel on the film there!

 Good talking with my friend and fellow Collector's Call alumni Jim Engel!  He picked up a cool Snoopy banner!

 It has been a while since seeing my pal Patrick McKay!  He has been doing some art work for Disney now!  

 Bill Leff from WGN RADIO popped by and we will be seeing him again during the holidays at WGN!   Bill will appear on Collector's Call too.

 Always enjoy meeting new fans and signing stuff for them!

 My friend Tom Margarites was out looking for cool cartoon statues!  A passion we share!

My pal Dave Harms snatched up my Lil' Oscar before I could!  We will be working together on my appearance at the McHenry County Historical Society in December!

Promoting The Hollywood Show Chicago last year! Much of what I said still applies to this year and I am returning to all of the venues I mentioned in 2019! The Hollywood Show Chicago is this Saturday!

Looking forward to going back on the Bill & Wendy show on WGN Radio!   Last year, not only did I appear, but I became part of their Christmas show, which was broadcast on Christmas Eve and Christmas day!   We will be talking about my NEW book The Making of Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town and The Daydreamer, my sixth book, AMC's Rankin/Bass Marathons, the horrible 2018 Blu Ray and DVD releases and so much more!   Tune in for some Christmas fun!

THE ROE CONN SHOW WLS RADIO 890am

It looks like my appearance on THE ROE CONN SHOW has been postponed, due to illness in Roe's partner BILL LEFF's family. Bill is the POP CULTURE expert and he had an emergency with his daughter and had to leave the show today. I may be going on as an in-studio guest with KEVIN MATTHEWS on Tuesday at 6pm. BILLIE MAE RICHARDS (RUDOLPH) said she would come on Tuesday.
