NEW EPISODE! GOING BANANAS. That's right, a #LostMedia show from Hanna-Barbera. Don't tell me you remember this! Let's explore the creation, cast and legacy of this forgotten show, a live action sitcom from the kings of #SaturdayMorning.

Maybe you feel great joy and gratitude!

I’m binging the series. I’ll get back to you all at the end of season one!

What can I say that would push you there? 😀

Also, about 380 more. He’s been around a long time. He’s 87!

Since I’m the cartoon guy, I would be remiss for not pointing out that Groppler Zorn was played by Michael Bell. He was Prowl on Transformers, Devlin from Devlin, Handy on The Smurfs, Reynaldo on Rubik, Duke on GI Joe, Allstar on Snorks, and others.

I think it might have happened again in “The Arsenal of Freedom” as well.

It’s been forever since I’ve seen it.

The first six movies, and then the first quarter or so of “Generations”.

And then I start TNG, and finish “Generations” after “All Good Things…”

That’s how you avoid madness.

Here’s something fun. Watch that scene in “Farpoint” where Troi and Riker communicate telepathically, but mute the telepathy. You’d get to see what Picard experienced. Just lengths of silence and eyeball acting.

If there’s one person who knows how to dock, it’s William Thelonious Thomas Riker.

Now that I have watched #StarTrek TOS, TAS, and 6.25 films, I can now start in on the Picard Legacy Collection on blu ray. Super excited to watch TNG from beginning to end in blu ray. Should be an experience.

Also, I love hearing people have a vague idea of of a show, thinking it was a fever dream. And then I’ve got the goods to show some bonkers idea was real!

Could it have been “Fangface” from 1979?

Totally forgot about that!

The Wolfman was such a big personality, he was built for cartoons! It’s a shame it wasn’t more character and music driven. A little of the sub-characters were not needed.

Claudia Montague Wheatley @claudiamw.bsky.social · 1d

Anyone else sorta remember a Saturday morning cartoon featuring Wolfman Jack?

I do—but I don't recall it being in the 1980s.

Can't imagine why it wasn't a hit—TODD wrote a song about Wolfman Jack, it don't get cooler than that, baby!

GOING BANANAS is not to be confused with "Going Bananas", the Dom DeLuise movie from the Cannon Group in 1987.

This show has an orangutan, and the future Uncle Phil from "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". Though he'll always be Shredder to me.

NEW EPISODE! In 1984, DIC Entertainment released one of the shortest running shows of #SaturdayMorning: WOLF ROCK TV. Considered to be #LostMedia, this is the story of it's creation, cast, and how it was found. Give a howl for the Wolfman, baby!

@moderation.bsky.app My original post was labeled as “sexually suggestive”. The prosthetic breasts of Lycia Naff were BLURRED out. The Cat Woman’s breasts are also NOT real.

Hey Moderation, is this what turns you on? Was it so hot and heavy you had to protect yourself from it? It’s latex!
