Hong Kong Fooey

Hi, you're listening to Truecast. Who is the

superhero? Sarge? No. Rosemary, the telephone

operator? No. Henry, the mild mannered janitor?

Could be! Hong Kong Fooey! Number one super guy!

quicker than the human eye. He's got style, a

groovy smile, and a bop that just won't stop.

When they're going this rough, he's super tough

with a Hong Kong fooey chop. Hong Kong fooey,

number one super guy. Hong Kong fooey, quicker

than the human eye. Hello and welcome to the

46th episode of Tooncast brought you by the GeekCast

radio network I am your host TFJU and Mike and

today I'm joined once again by Kevin, Professor

Boss K -Dog Thompson. Hello. Hello. Today we

are going to be continuing the Hannah Mabryer

spotlight with Hong Kong Fooey. Hong Kong Fooey.

Sorry. God. Please stop trying to channel Scatman

Carothers. Damn it. What have you been up to?

Um, let's see. A couple days ago I had a little

couch, new couch that I had bought delivered.

So now I actually have a seat in my living room,

so that's good. I have been, actually, two things

that have a lot to do with cartoons and being

a nerd that I am. Number one, I've been going

through scene by scene my Transformers DVDs trying

to get screenshots of all the different characters.

So basically, sometime after we get done recording

today, I'm going to update the Transformers page

at Behind the Voice Actors, and it's going to

have over 230 characters that have been added

to it, including every single character that

was actual Transformer. I won't have all the

humans and aliens and guest stars, but I'll have

every single actual Transformer added to it.

So that's kind of a project. I just kind of finished

that a little bit ago. And I also just got done

watching all 16 episodes of the cartoon Black

Star. I had it on DVD and it's just been sitting

on my shelf forever and I picked it up the other

day and I'm like it's only 16 episodes that wouldn't

be very hard to get through so the last couple

days I watched all 16 episodes of that. I don't

think I've ever heard of that show. It's basically

the... Filmation's first attempt at like an action

adventure in like a fantasy world. Oh It's basically

the precursor to he -man. Oh Okay, so yeah. Oh

Hold on. It's it's it's he -man combined with

Smurfs and the seven dwarfs That's actually Fucking

frightening yeah, because if you got like your

regular he -man character who has a couple sidekicks

one of which sounds exactly like the sorceress

from he -man and Imagine this she is actual source

of magic person um and then besides the three

main characters. There's seven Trobots is what

they call them and they're these purplish characters

that remind you of a combination of the Dwarfs

and the Smurfs. So it's kinda interesting. Damn.

It's not a bad show, it's just really not as

good as he made it. And you ridiculed me for

watching Phineas and Ferb and you watch that

crap? No, I don't mind. Phineas and Ferb actually

have good stories. I got a problem with the whole

Hannah Montana thing. Oh, we're not even gonna

go there. We're not even gonna go there. I'm

not even gonna really defend myself on that one.

I just like the show. I'm not a actual fan of

her herself. The show is funny. And just for

the record, I was not the only one that was ripping

on Phineas and Ferb. Yeah, but you're the loudest

voice though. Steve, our producer, echoed in

and backed me up. Yeah, wow. Anyway. Anyways,

uh, let's see. What have I been up to? I just

recorded nerd news for March 8th for this week

in geek Finally after I don't know a week of

I don't know I'd start giving people my real

address because the other address I don't tackle

that much is my mom's PO box So thank you for

my birthday present. No problem question. Where

the hell is the slipcover to it? There was no

slipcover Unfortunately. When I went to Target

last time and I saw it, it had a slip cover,

so... Well, now you gotta steal one somehow.

Yeah, right. Slip it on a different movie and

buy it. Yeah, because I looked at them, I thought

there might be, but I looked at all the ones

that Target had on their shelves and none of

them had slip covers, so... It's supposed to,

because every other one I've seen has it. But

anyway, thank you for being my Valentine, Charlie

Brown. And that was in no means a message, that

was just trying to complete your collection.

Yeah, I know, I just... Well, at first, because

I had mentioned a number of episodes ago, back

when we were still doing the Disney Animation

Spotlight, that I didn't have the Robin Hood

most wanted edition. And because I opened the

envelope thing upside down, or the DVD was upside

down, I thought it could have been the Robin

Hood thing. I'm like, oh, cool. I'm like, oh,

wait. Oh, that's cool. Draw it around. That works.

Excellent. That works, that works. Ah, yeah,

there's not too much else going on, so I think

we can head into the history lesson. All right.

For today's history lesson, we pick up where

we left off with Jarajah, which is in the 1970s.

In this case, we go back to 1974 for the classic

Hong Kong Fui. Hong Kong Fui debuted on ABC in

1974 and ran for two seasons. The show contained

16 classic episodes. And actually, Fred Silverman,

when he left ABC, took the show with him to NBC.

The show was usually aired in a Saturday morning

time slot. The star of the show obviously was

Hong Kong Fooey, which is the secret alter ego

of Penrod Pooch, or Penry, or as sometimes they

pronounce it, Henry, which is a mild -mannered

police station janitor. And a couple other characters

that we'll get into, but that does it for the

history part of the show. So what do you remember

about Hong Kong Fooey? I love this show. Of course,

until recently, I didn't realize that Scatman

Carruthers voiced him. I mean, I knew the Hong

Kong Fooey voice. I just didn't know. I didn't

put together that it was Jazz from Transformers

G1. Yeah. I don't know why I didn't put it together.

I should have. But yeah, this is a pretty good

show. This is one of the ones that has one of

those wacky premises. It's kind of like Darkwing

Duck of the 70s almost. That's actually a pretty

good comparison. Well, I mean, you think of Darkwing

Duck and you watch that cartoon and you see how

bumbling he is. And you know you see how bumbling

hit see I've never heard it called Henry or pen

run I've always heard it called Henry on Because

when I used to watch it on on boomerang back

when I still had boring, but um You know what

I actually just went to my cables My cable station

their company is a web page and and made a complaint

that I don't have boomerang. Sorry Oh really?

Yeah, that pisses me off. Well see mine They

have it but it's only if you get the digital

cable It sucks But anyway, yeah, you know, it's

one of those things where that you know his mild

manner gender, you know saying he's all Bumbling

and doesn't know what he's doing and always screws

things up and and even It's kind of funny even

even as Hong Kong fully he screws things up Yeah

Luckily, he's got some sidekick. Yes I don't

really remember much about this show actually

thinking back to my my childhood and you know

like I had mentioned a couple other times I had

some older siblings so I was exposed to a lot

of the Hannah Barbera stuff that maybe I wouldn't

have been and for some reason out of all the

Hannah Barbera ones this one might be one of

the ones I have the least amount of memories

about I mean I remember the character and I can't

get the theme song out of my head right now but

I don't really remember much about the show from

when I was a child. I mean, I've watched a couple

episodes this week, so I caught back up on it.

But for some reason, I don't have a lot of just

general recollections of the show. It's not like

Yogi Bear or Jabberjaw or next week's topic.

Right, yes. You know what's funny about next

week's topic is that was no blank. Right So we

have anything else about general memories? I'm

just that I don't have many of the show, but

yeah, I don't either I'm not saying it's a bad

show though We'll get into more into that but

just because I don't have the memories of it

doesn't mean anything Mm -hmm All right, so getting

into the voice actors Hong Kong Flew he was voiced

by a scavengers like I said sergeant Flint was

voiced by Joey Ross Best known as Officer Gunther

Tootie in the early 60s television series, Car

54 Where Are You? As Flint Ross revived Tootie's

famous ooh -ooh exclamation, Sergeant Flint was

very similar both voice and appearance to Botch,

an assistant zookeeper on the Wonderland Zoo

on Help It's the Hair Bear Bunch. I hate that

show. I could not stand that damn show. I hope

we get a voicemail of someone that's mad because

he just ripped on Help It's the Hair Bear Bunch.

I'm sorry, Help It's the Hair Bear Bunch is nothing

but Yogi Bear dressed up in drag. Oh God. If

you watch that show, seriously, if you look that

up on YouTube and you watch an episode of that,

it's a bunch of bears who dress up in drag to

escape a zoo. Now, granted, Yogi, I don't think,

ever made that mistake trying to escape Jellystone,

but, yeah, whatever. The other characters, we

got Rosemary, who's basically the secretary at

the police precinct, and that's voiced by Kathy

Gorey. And then the cat, which is Hong Kong Fooey's

basic sidekick, is actually voiced by Don Messick.

Imagine that, Don Messick showing up in a Hannah

Barbera cartoon. I would love to see a voice

actor, round table, whatever you want to call

it, ensemble recording with Don Messick, Casey

Kasem, Alan Oppenheimer, Frank Welker, and Lenny

Weinrib. Not to mention some of the old stars,

which Ridgely, Hal Smith, and Paul Winchell are

from the generation before and Alan Melvin. Along

with Vanderpyle and Janet Waldo. This is a ridiculous

cast and I do want to bring up something though

as I was First of all, I second your point seeing

a roundtable with this group would be Insane

it would just be ridiculous. Yeah But I had the

couple episodes that I watched One of them was

let's see one of them was called I'm not gonna

be able to think of the names now, but one of

them was called something about Green Thumb or

Dr. Green Thumb or something like that, but the

doctor sounded exactly like Will Ferrell's version

of Harry Carrey. Oh, wow. And I'm looking at

this list trying to figure out who did that,

and I can't come up with one of these guys who

would have done that or who would have sounded

exactly like Will Ferrell's Harry Carrey, but...

The reason I brought it up is because the second

episode I watched, there was somebody who was

making it rain all the time. I can't remember

the name of the episode. I don't remember. But

the little bad guy sounded exactly like Gargamel

from The Smurfs. And actually looking at that

list now, Paul Winchell was Gargamel on The Smurfs.

So he must have been doing that character with

basically the same voice before the Smurfs ever

existed So there was a Gargamel before Gargamel

basically as far as his voice resume goes But

it's interesting when you see these lists and

then you go back and watch some of the episodes

to watch because usually these guests or these

Yeah, basically guest voice acting roles. Mm

-hmm are usually given to the bad guy of the

week as I like to call them Which is just you

know whoever the new bad guy is for that episode

or for that you know clip and it's interesting

now knowing some of these voice actors and and

some of the other characters they've done and

then watching these shows and hearing the bad

guys and being like Which one of those guys is

that? Mm -hmm Yeah, you know it's it's just one

of those shows that has well first of all scatman

crothers One of the best voice talents of the

time, you know, of course he would go on to voice

jazz in G1 Just I don't know it's what I want

to see. All right Here's a here's a job for you

behind the voice actors people. I want to see

a compare between Hong Kong fooey and jazz Well,

we can do that it won't it won't actually be

on a voice compare page But I can go to the Scatman

Carothers page who already actually has a jazz

sound clip I believe but I can go on there and

grab a Hong Kong Fooey and then on his actual

page Scatman Carothers page You'll be able to

hear both of them. Oh, yeah, but still that's

what I'm saying I want to hear you know that

compare because you know now that I'm thinking

about it Granted the jazz voice was a little

bit more robotic yeah, but I'm betting if you

put Hong Kong, Fooey, and Jazz together, they're

going to sound extremely alike, besides the fact

that they came from the same guy, but they're

almost two different voices in the two different

shows. Yeah, I'm actually interested in and I

will I will grab both of those clips if there

isn't I know that I'm pretty sure the jazz ones

already on there but I'll grab one from Hong

Kong because I am interested in hearing those

next to each other I have a feeling that besides

being a little more robotic that the jazz voice

is also a little more I don't know if you want

to call it urban or polished maybe well I think

it's I don't think it's more polished yeah I

think it's a little more street it's a little

you know a little more You don't really want

to say ebonic style, but it has a little more

of that edge. I always consider jazz the African

-American transformer. That's why I have a black

cat that's named Jazz. That's going off topic,

though. But yeah, I'd be interested to hear both

of them side by side. Going into the behind the

scenes segment, outside of the usual listing

of Uh, Hannah and Barbera, I don't recognize

any of these people. I would tell you if I recognized

any of them if I could actually see who any of

them were. Well, you got, uh, Charles A. Nichols.

Uh, these are the... that was directed by him.

As far as writing credits, you have Lars Born,

Fred S. Fox, Seaman Jacobs, Len Jansen, Jack

Mendelsohn, uh, and Chuck Menville. I don't...

recognize any of those people. Mendelsohn for

some reason rings a bell, but maybe it's somebody

else. Well, what you're probably thinking of

is Lee Mendelsohn from Charlie Brown, but this

one is spelled M -E -N -D -E -L -S -O -H -N.

Okay, yeah, so I don't recognize any of those.

I do recognize the recording director. Oh, of

course, Wally Burr. I was surprised to see him

show up on one of these. I mean, not that I'm

surprised that he was doing stuff before Transformers,

obviously, because he was somewhat advanced in

age even during Transformers. But I had never

seen his name come up in any of the other Hanna

-Barbera stuff. So when I saw him on this one,

I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. Yep. Like

many Hanna -Barbera shows from this era, Hong

Kong Fooey was originally broadcast with a laugh

track. In the episode Comedy Cowboys, several

new cartoon characters Honcho the Mystery Maverick

and Posse Impossible appeared and helped to clear

Hong Kong of a crime he did not commit. Posse

Impossible found their way onto the CB Bears

show. I've actually never seen an episode of

that. I don't even know what the hell it is.

It's another cartoon that I think Anna Barbera

did, I'm pretty sure, but for some reason I've

never seen an episode, but maybe I'll YouTube

it. So moving into the actual show, The series

stars Hong Kong Fooey, the number one super guy

who travels about the city in his Fooey -mobile

fighting crime with the aid of his manual Hong

Kong book of Kung Fu. The stories begin at the

police headquarters where Hong Kong Fooey's alter

-ego Penry works as a mild -mannered janitor

under the glare of Sergeant Flint. Also at the

police station is Rosemary, the telephone operator

who has a crush on Hong Kong Fooey. After Rosemary

gets a call and explains the crime, Penry runs

into a filing cabinet and always getting stuck

transforms himself into Hong Kong Fooey. Despite

the theme song, Hong Kong Fooey is a classic

screw -up and often fails to save the city, only

to be saved by his sidekick, Kat Spot. In a few

rare circumstances, Hong Kong Fooey actually

does save the city, but usually is unintended

side effect of his intended attack going horribly

wrong. Hong Kong Fooey is a respected superhero

who always gets full credit for spots of success.

A running gag is that Hong Kong Fooey is such

a respected hero that when his incompetence causes

him to crash, into harm, or otherwise inconvenience

a civilian, the passer -by feels honored as opposed

to annoyed or embarrassed, such as when he dove.

When he drove the Fooeymobile through wet cement,

splattering the workers who responded that it

was an honor to have the whole day's work ruined

by the great Hong Kong Fooey. Oh boy. Wow. Yeah,

I would say he's even more of a klutz than Darkwing.

I know that's bad, but Jesus Christ. Oh crap.

Um... As we get some notable quotations here

for Hong Kong, we have, ha ho and rinky dinky

doo to you. And better look up in my Hong, oh

I better look it up in my Hong Kong book of Kung

Fu, which sometimes isn't even the book of Kung

Fu. There was one episode that I did see, it

was a whole bunch of different books. And then

some quotes for the Sarge is, Ooh, ooh, ooh,

and Penry. Shout out when Penry bungles something

at the police station. Sergeant Flint would often

mispronounce Penry's name in such a way that

it sounds as Henry. However, many times as the

show is clear pronunciation of Penry, the meaning

of Penrod can be heard. Well, I still say it's

Henry, but... Then you got Rosemary's quote.

I gotta read it. Okay. Hello, hello, police headquarters.

This is Rosemary, the lovely lassie with a classy

chassis. Gotta love it. Actually, I love the

person that did her voice. I've never heard her

in anything else. Kathy Gorey, I'll have to look

up what other things she did, but she was absolutely

perfect for that role. I don't know, I can't

imagine any other voice actor doing a better

job of the police secretary. It's just awesome.

I did notice in one scene though, at the end

of the show she was actually out of the police

headquarters and she was out and about with the

sergeant in Hong Kong. She had the shortest miniskirt

I've ever seen on a cartoon character from anything

before 1990. It was ridiculously short. I was

a little taken aback, but yeah, but I know we

already talked about the voice actors, but Hong

Kong Fooey and looking at some of these quotes

reminded me of it. You know, Scamming Crothers

and Rosemary, their voices to me made this show,

both of them. Oh yeah, I mean you very rarely

heard the Sarge except when obviously Hong Kong

Fooey was in trouble, so... Right, but there's

something about Scatman Crothers and not only

the theme song but some of his little the ways

he's talking and some of his lines They're just

so catchy and they're so hard to get out of your

head once you hear them. Oh, yeah. Oh Let's see

Wow, she was in the new Tom and Jerry show in

1975 Okay Hmm look at you on the ball. Well,

yeah Partridge Family 2200 A .D. in 1974. That's

terrible. Yeah. Oh, Anti -Private Eye in 73.

She played Lori. Whatever the heck that is. Let's

see. Wow, she was in an episode of mod. Oh god.

You know, it's funny, IMDB does not list... Oh

yeah, yes it does. I was gonna say it does not

list Hong Kong Fui, but yeah it does. She was

in Valley of the Dinosaurs, which is a TV series

in 1974. Yeah, the new Tom and Jerry show was

the last thing... Yeah, it was the last thing

that she was credited for as far as... IMDB She

was good in this show though. I don't know I

mean even if she didn't do anything else really

that much in an anime in voiceover work This

this role was just I thought it would be someone

you know more notable or more famous, but she

she did a great job Yeah, IMDB doesn't even I

mean it she was born in 1951 so I mean she's

only in her Mid early mid 50s, but IMDB does

not list a date of death so Yes, she's still

alive. She just hasn't acted since 1975 or six

So we have anything else to say about the actual

show You know I I like the show it was it was

unique enough. I mean a lot of Hannah Barbera

stuff is is Kind of repetitive and same types

of shows over and over again, but this had enough

of a you know It's little take on the private

eye type thing or like the kind of like the Superman

character where you go in the file cabinet and

change clothes and come out That angle really

hadn't been overdone at this point. I mean it

has since but I think it was a kind of a good

idea to kind of cross over the private eye with

Superman but do it with a animal cartoon character

type thing and you know I think that that was

kind of you know in comparison to like what we've

seen with Jabberjaw which was basically you know

like we said in the show a combination of Scooby

-Doo and Josie and the Pussycats The one we'll

talk about next week is another rip -off of the

same things, basically. So this was kind of a

unique thing, and I think the show was good as

far as actual storytelling. Right. I eventually

pulled her up on Wikipedia. in Broken Road Productions.

She also co -wrote 1981 feature film Desperate

Moves and co -wrote the 2007 Warner Brothers

movie Chaos Theory starring Ryan Reynolds. So

she has done stuff since 76. So, you know, it's

IMDB people. It's not the most... Yeah, I actually

have it now on IMDB has two different people

doing Rosemary. Oh, really? So I wonder, it has

Kathy Gorey doing Rosemary, and it says unknown

episodes, and then it has Gene Vanderpyle doing

Rosemary unknown episodes. And Gene Vanderpyle

obviously is a much more famous voice actress,

so I wonder which one I heard on those two episodes.

Gene Vanderpyle's Wilma from The Flintstones,

and OG from The Killer Gorilla. But I wonder

which one it was on the ones that I heard. I

don't know. So I guess we can move into the...

Music segment take it away start singing buddy

The show's theme song entitled Hong Kong Fooey

was written by a bunch of people that nobody's

ever heard of but The reason I bring it up is

because the song was actually sung by Scatman

Crothers So he did not only did the voice, but

he actually sang the song And I'm not singing

it I meant to listen to this before the show

but apparently a cover of the show's theme song

performed by Sublime is included on the 1995

tribute album Saturday Morning Cartoon's Greatest

Hits. I'm actually interested in seeing what

other stuff is on this Saturday Morning Cartoon's

Greatest Hits. I will try to find it if I can.

I know it's on YouTube. Because I meant to click

on it after I watched a couple episodes of Hong

Kong food, but I forgot to go back and click

on it But I'm also maybe before Next couple weeks

shows. Maybe I'll look up this Saturday morning

cartoons greatest hits to see what other songs

are on there But I don't know I'd be interested

to hear sublime's take on it, but you can't be

scared my car They're singing it right well.

You know the other thing you know about you know

I mean Well as of this recording the Jabberjaw

episode Hasn't come out. Did you listen to the

Yogi episode yet? Um, I've listened to Huckleberry

Hound. I have not listened to Yogi yet. I was

going to say, I was going to try to make a comparison

to the cartoon groovy stuff I put in there as

the outro. But, you know, the thing about updating

theme songs is they're going to have the same

feel but a little bit different obviously. So

I don't think it would be too bad to hear a sublime

version of Hong Kong Fui. Yeah, it would be it

would be an interesting take and if it's you

know songs that you love from cartoon hits and

stuff like that Then you know it's got to have

a little value on it Yep All right, so move oh

Hoyt curtain also did the series music for the

show which is not surprised no surprise whatsoever

Going into the legacy segment Some things it's

been referenced in his family guy that 70s show

What's New Scooby -Doo is Scooby -Doo Halloween,

Scooby -Doo itself, Robot Chicken, the Mint,

which I've never heard of, and the Jay Leno Show.

Wow. Where Guy Fieri, which is the guy that just

started hosting Minute to Win It, he's the Food

Network guy, actually called Hong Kong Fooey

his favorite cartoon. That's cool. it was featured

in 100 greatest kids TV shows I love the 70s

1974 100 greatest cartoons so that's what it's

been featured in as far as other media with a

copyright of 2001 Alan Lau in conjunction with

Wildbrain .com produce a flash animation web

show cartoon that was prominently featured on

CartoonNetwork .com and can still be found there,

while Penry appears identical to the original

incarnation Hong Kong Fooey, is much larger cut

and highly competent and skilled fighter without

spot the cat. Hong Kong Fooey faces off against

and easily defeats evil anthropomorphic animals

A trio of rabbits, what appears to be a crane

and a reptilianoid. At the end, he morphs back

into Penry with a smile and a sparkle in his

eye. Okay, that sounds like fucking crap. Yeah.

So let's move right on. Yeah. As far as a possible

film for Hong Kong Fooey, on July 12th, 2009,

it was announced that David A. Goodman had been

hired to pen a Hong Kong Fooey film. Alex Zam

is set to direct and Broderick Johnson, Andrew

Kossov, Brett Ratner, and Jay Stern are producing.

On July 31st, 2009, it was announced that Warner

Bros. will release the Hong Kong fluid film with

co -financing from Alcon Entertainment, Johnson

& Kossov's production company, and Hanna -Barbera

Productions, a name only unit of Warner Bros.

Animation. There's a film coming, uh oh. That

scares me because I've seen what they've done

with like Underdog and a couple, well actually

I haven't seen the movie but I saw the previews

for stuff like Underdog and some of these are

not turning into good. It's not like, just because

Transformers and G .I. Joe have had success does

not mean that every single cartoon would make

a good film and I'm assuming this is some type

of live action CGI film. The problem with this,

number one, first of all, Mr. Carruthers is no

longer with us. Right. Now, I will fully admit

that Scatman and Carruthers will always be the

voice of Jazz for me as far as that character

being in Generation 1 for Transformers. However,

Phil Lamar did an awesome, awesome job updating

him in Transformers animated because he voiced

Jazz in that show. So, I seriously doubt, though,

that anyone can voice Hong Kong Fooey like Scatman

Carothers did. Now people can argue with me all

that they want that actors don't care about roles

and whatever else and that's fine, but this isn't

recasting Spider -Man for fucking Christ's sake.

It's just goddamn Hong Kong Fooey. Right. There

was only one. It's not like there's been multiple

cartoons. Exactly. I just want to butt in real

quick because I actually looked up that CD. Here's

some of the other stuff that's on that CD. You

got Sponge, I've never heard of that music group

doing Go Speed Race or Go. You have Matthew Sweet

doing Scooby Doo, Where Are You? Collective Soul,

The Bugaloos, I've never heard of The Bugaloos.

The Ramones doing the Spider -Man song. Let's

see, you got Digg doing the Fat Albert theme.

Face to face, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man. Sublime

doing Hong Kong Fooey, The Murmurs, H .R. Puff

and Stuff. Wax doing Happy Happy Joy Joy, I can't

believe I just said that. Semisonic doing Sugar

Sugar from The Archie Show and a couple other

ones. So it's interesting, it looks like it's

mostly 70s and Maybe a little bit earlier. It

looks like it's almost all 70s cartoons, so mm

-hmm Actually on Right So on August 15 2006 as

far as DVD releases one or home video release

the complete series on DVD in region one Which

includes commentary on select episodes documentary

of the show from its development? Through its

legacy, includes production designs and never

-before -seen original artwork, as well as new

interviews, and a Hong Kong -fui, the baddie

-bank -gang, the complete storyboard. So there's

that. We are going to take a quick break. You'll

hear some stuff, and we'll come back with the

final thoughts. The TFG1 Podcast has 24 action

-packed discussion episodes on the original Transformers

cartoon. So if you're a fan of the 80s cartoon,

we have all you need and more, as well as an

interview with Stan Bush. You can find us on

once was a boy, an albino, I'm told, who possessed

the power of pen pusher gold. He had many stories,

all short and exciting, but nobody knew, and

so he began writing. He sat there all summer

and skillfully sought to perfectly ponder and

polish each plot. The settings were set, all

the characters cast, his fingers were flying

and flailing so fast, and soon the young man

with the snowy complexion quickly concocted the

caffeine collection. He smiled, satisfied with

his clever creation. Oh, the things that did

pour from his imagination! From the author of

the podcast novel, Black Shadow, Steve Saylor

presents The Kathleen Collection, a dynamic audiobook

collection of short stories presented by ringtonefeeder

.com. and stevesaylor .net. Steve presents a

genre mashup of multiple stories for your ears.

I have to be on caffeine to write all this. Steve

will not forget. For more information, stevesaylor

on Hong Kong food, sir. Hong Kong Fooey is just

one of those shows that kind of gets in your

head and doesn't leave you alone. Like I said,

the theme song, Scatman Crothers' voices, his

classic lines. And I give it credit for being

somewhat unique. I mean, I know it's not completely

original, but I kind of can see a difference

in it and most the other Hannah Barbera stuff.

I did not get bored watching the episodes of

Hong Kong Fooey on YouTube. um... so it might

be something that i don't know if i'd actually

want to watch the whole series but it wasn't

that many episodes so it's just overall good

classic cartoon and i give it at least one thumbs

up at least one thumbs up oh boy yeah you know

i i agree with you it's not the best cartoon

in the world but it's not the worst and i mean

you know you got Pretty much great voice acting

from the people that were cast for the characters.

Yeah. So I think that's going to do it for us.
