Fab Forever |
|
 Seen
first in the US in 1965, and on the heels of their conquering arrival on
American shores, ABC TV debuted "The
Beatles" in an animated cartoon format. The series was produced
and created by King Features in conjunction with three other animation
studios and moved to syndication when cancelled on ABC. The series used
the singing voices of The Beatles only; the Fab Four's voices on the
show were provided by the prolific Paul Frees (John and George) and
Lance Percival (Paul and Ringo). The animation on the series was limited
but the music was incredible, even providing running lyrics on the
screen. TVC Studios in London worked on this series as well and
eventually were the studio chosen to create the feature-length classic
"The Yellow Submarine". |

TV NEWS...
Cartoonist Ted Key, creator of `Hazel' comic, dies at 95
05/09/08 Cartoonist Ted Key, whose comic strip "Hazel" about a bossy maid went from magazine page to TV screen, has died. He was 95. He died Saturday at his home in the Philadelphia suburb of Tredyffrin Township after a 1 1/2-year battle with cancer. "Hazel" was a popular feature in The Saturday Evening Post from the time it debuted in 1943. It evolved into a prime-time series in 1961, also called "Hazel", that starred Shirley Booth and ran for four years on NBC and one year on CBS. Key also created the characters "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" for producer Jay Ward. The time-traveling dog/scientist and his boy made their TV debuts in 1959 in segments on the animated show "Rocky and His Friends." Key randomly picked the name for the maid and was flattered that it later became synonymous with maids. |
