    Ruth Buzzi (1936-2025)

    She even reprised her role of Gladys in the rather bizarre Saturday morning cartoon Baggy Pants and The Nitwits, in which she and Tyrone had superpowers (Tyrone could use his cane to fly, among other things) and fought criminals.

    MeTV Toons - Network TALKBACK & Discussion Thread

    All right, it's now official--The MyTV affiliate in my area is going to drop the duplicate Catchy Comedy subchannel they have now and put MeTV Toons in its place when it goes on the air on Tuesday.

    Voice actor deaths that REALLY affected you

    I think for me the death of Heather North in 2017 kind of hit me pretty hard since she voiced Daphne on Scooby-Doo. I admit I had a crush on Daphne back in the day. Grey DeLisle certainly has done pretty well being Daphne's current voice but hearing Heather North voicing her brings back some...

    Was the internet the only reason why Saturday morning cartoons ended?

    You can put much of the blame on Peggy Charren and her Action for Children's Television as well in regard to the E/I regulations and the end of Saturday morning cartoons on the Big 3 and the Little 4 (Fox, the CW, MyNetwork TV and Ion Television). Thankfully we now have MeTV's Saturday Morning...

    Voice actors you hear less often now?

    One person I know who hasn't done as much voice acting these days is Teryl Rothery, who is best known for doing the voice of A-Ko Magami in the Project A-Ko movies from Plot of the Daitokuji Financial Group onward. She more or less stopped doing it after her character of Dr. Janet Frasier on...

    MeTV Toons - Network TALKBACK & Discussion Thread

    Figured I'd chime in on my two cents in regard to MeTV Toons. First off, I don't know if they'll have it in my neck of the woods yet, though it might be because of a rather unusual situation that happened recently. The My TV affiliate where I am recently decided to dump The Grio and put Catchy...

    Voice actors in radio commercials

    I could swear that I heard Patrick Warburton on a radio commercial once.

    Popeye the Sailor (1960-63 TV Series)

    I certainly remember watching the 1960s Popeye cartoons on WNEW (now WNYW) when I was growing up on Long Island. They were all right but certainly not as great as the earlier Paramount shorts were. Al Brodax--who was the producer for this series--would later go on to create the Beatles...

    Heavy Metal; the ultraviolent animated movie that no one remembers, and the sequel no one even knows about

    Also, Harold Ramis (Egon Spengler in the live action Ghostbusters movies) and Susan Roman (who did the English-speaking voice of Lita/Sailor Jupiter on Sailor Moon) lent their voices to this. It should also be pointed out that the "Harry Canyon" segment served as the inspiration for The Fifth...

    Portrayals of cartoon fans in cartoons

    In the Daria episode "Camp Fear", fans Erin Mills and Michelle Klein-Hass (who some of you might remember was an associate editor for Toon Magazine) are depicted in one scene.

    Ed, Edd & Eddy's 25th Anniversary

    Yeah , I've heard of it.

    Ed, Edd & Eddy's 25th Anniversary

    And let's not forget before that he had done The Brothers Grunt for MTV--which didn't last too long.

    Ed, Edd & Eddy's 25th Anniversary

    I was actually 30 when Ed, Edd n Eddy premiered but I found it a lot more entertaining than the junk that was on Prime Time at the time (I mean, really, like most people I couldn't stand Friends). I especially like Ed's gravy fixation and his saying "GRAVY!" all the time. :lol:

    Why Do Young Female Voice Actors Get Replaced Sometime But Not Others?

    Then you have the case of Nancy Cartwright, who's done the voice of Bart Simpson going back to when The Simpsons started out as a series of shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show. Of course before this she did the voice of Gloria Gladd on Richie Rich.
