It's actually pretty good. Ives did unhinged surprisingly well in that.
I was channel surfing one afternoon and stopped to watch. 1) the music is fantastic and 2) there's that great fisticuffs/brawl scene between Peck & Heston.
I have never heard of that series of serieses. I have never seen Burl Ives in a non-animated snowman role. Well maybe a couple of jolly singing neighbor roles.
I had to google Farantino. Joe was cool.
watch the movie The Big Country. Ren & Stimpy got a lot of lines from Burl Ives in that movie.

The only "live action" thing of Burl Ives I remember, other than that show, is "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof". I only watched a few episodes of that show, probably hoping he would break out into "Silver & Gold" or some other song. I saw Ives perform once when I was a kid; I'm pretty sure it was one of the Sloop Clearwater Festivals that Pete Seeger used to have along the Hudson River. I remember he did "Froggy Went A-Courting", but he didn't do any of the numbers from "Rudolph" - probably because it was summer.

Did It even make noise/show his face? All I remember is hair. Like R2D2, it doesn't seem like there needed to be a specific actor associated with the part.
Apparently different actors dubbed the "voice" parts (it was some sort of sped-up and reversed gibberish), but it was always the same actor in the costume - with the derby and sunglasses usually.
Felix Silla as "Cousin Itt" on The Addams Family, 1965.

Jaye P. Morgan had some good some songs (more in the "torch singer" genre), but that song is pretty lousy - really weird tempo change early in. Even Fred MacMurray and William Demarest seem a little bemused, and those guys rocked. Odd similarity with the Blondie tune though; I wonder if Chris Stein knew that episode of My Three Sons.
William Demarest was brilliant, the crabby essence of "Hey, what's the big idea?!?!" He was far better than "My Three Sons."
Yeah, that "Gonna Getcha" song is pretty bad and Jaye P. Morgan wasn't much better. Apparently she plays a singer at the end of her career in that episode. She's a lot better doing this song—got to #3 on Billboard in 1954 with it.
I always wondered if she'd ever actually been on anything. That was not good, tho.
Similarity to this (or this to that) is striking tho.

Mary Tyler Moore had a variety show in 1978 which had David Letterman, Swoosie Kurtz, and Michael Keaton in the cast - it only lasted 3 episodes. I don't remember this at all - for good reason:
Woot is selling a 48" TV today. I thought the "description" was pretty funny/cool. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There are people alive today who consider this a small TV. For real.
If you were born in 1950, you grew up with a TV the size of your laptop screen. If you were born in 1970, you probably had a TV the size of a monitor. If you were born in 1990, you probably saw a TV this size at the local pizza joint. But If you were born in 2000 or later, you probably think this TV is basically of average size.
We say this not to make people feel old, but to point out how time and technology change everything. That cool, old, four foot tall radio is now replaced by an app that downloads podcasts into your phone. That giant oven with room for a turkey is replaced by a teeny box that cooks food from the inside out. And where does that room go? Why, it transfers over to the television, of course!
So quit stalling. One day the 48" HDTV is going to be the "I used to watch PBS on an old black and white TV using a coat hanger as an antenna." Enjoy it now, while it's still cutting edge.
That's a recommendation!
