  • Dear From The Sidelines, Mr.Swift's"Capt.Allen"didn't host WPIX TV Ch.11 NYC's"Popeye Show"from 1957 to 1961..he hosted the show from 9/10/1956 to 9/23/1960.

  • The standard closing, usually omitted from reissues:

    {Tooter finds himself back in Mr. Wizard's home, downbeat}

    TOOTER: Uh, gee, Mr. Wizard- looks like I made a mess of things again.

    MR. WIZARD: (clucking) Always, ALWAYS, I tell you, Tooter...

    "Be just what you is, not what you is not,

    Folks what do this has the happiest lot!"

  • ...and, I might add, Sharples' music cues were also reused in several of King Features' Popeye TV cartoons... primarily the ones whose animation was produced by none other than Paramount's New York cartoon studio! In this 1961 "Tooter" episode, appropriate "nautical" cues from several Popeye cartoons of the '50s are employed. Allen Swift (who, coincidentally, hosted "THE POPEYE SHOW" on New York's WPIX-TV from 1957 through '61) is "Tooter"; George S. Irving is the impatient captain....

  • In 1959, Winston Sharples gathered together a "package" of several of his 1951-'59 Paramount theatrical cartoon scores (most of them from the Popeye series), and went into partnership with Hal Seeger, leasing them to various production outfits, starting with Joe Oriolo for his "FELIX THE CAT" TV cartoon series. In 1961, they found a customer in TTV/Leonardo, who used them in various episodes of "KING LEONARDO AND HIS SHORT SUBJECTS", and, in 1963-'64, "TENNESSEE TUXEDO AND HIS TALES"...
