[SheldonLefkowitz]

Mary Twitter, she googles a lot

[MrElectrician59]

Yep, The Funny Company sums it up- Congress and The President LOL

[Lv100WereCactus]

mary twitter's voice was like nails on a chalkboard.

[nanlisa]

Forty-five years later, I still sing the theme song every time I watch this.

[JubalCalif]

What a cute clip! Brings back so many precious memories of my 1960's childhood. A much more innocent & simpler time. I wish more kids today would be exposed to wholesome & educational cartoons like this. THANKS so much for posting this delightful "blast from the past"!! CHEERS! :-)

[chels01e]

I still remember the world to this song! And he's got a COMPUTER!!

[driver3464]

Years before anybody even had a home computer and these kids have a laptop.

[TheLori310]

any one else feel they've worked here?

[trayguy]

I watched this as a kid. Boy! I sure do miss this show.

[cattrac]

I actually had a shinking violette doll.Got her for Christmas. I played with her soooo much that she stopped talking! She spoke when you pulled the string....about five different comments! She was well loved! Watched the cartoon every Saturday morning with Alphabits ceral!

[MsJeffersonAirplane]

I love this show!!! I watch it everynight when it comes on!

[ZombieEater13]

i've always watched this in my holidays with my little ♥ sister ♥ : D

[melinaortegagranados]

Recuerdo que en México la pasaron en el 79 u 80, yo tenía como 4 o 5 años. Pero fué por muy poco tiempo y cada que le preguntaba a alguien si la recordaba, todos me decían que estaba loca, que nunca existió... llegué a pensar que la habia soñado.

[alexelkoro]

@melinaortegagranados efectivamente, la pasaron mas o menos entre 80 y 81 en el 13, yo mucho tiempo estuve buscandola porque no recordaba el nombre, hoy finalmente la encontre porque me acorde de Terry el pterodactilo... wow, esta caricatura, Roger Ramjet, Yin Yin y el Genio, los barbapapas, ya las habia olvidado

[nanlisa]

I remember seeing this in third grade (1966) on Sally Starr's Popeye Theater right here in Phiiladelpihia. It came on at 4 o'clock: right after I got home from school.

[crabshaw]

I LOVE that they had a 'lap-top'

[pinkorangesoda]

O.O

[LimeCrazy6]

Brings back memories. Garfield Goose, Ray Raynor, Bozo Circus.

[acdeucee]

Those were all favorites too. Do you remember a show that followed the funny co. about a real chimp named 'Chatter'? It may of been on before or after B.J. and Dirty Dragon.

[pk6260]

I can't believe I found this cartoon, my favorite as a kid growing up in Chicago during the "60's

[AoFparson]

this cartoon is still running..

[wannagoback052]

Come To Order Come To Order!

I used to say that all the time when

I was a kid. I also had a Shrinking

Violet talking doll.

Thanks!

[SteveCarras]

The mid 1960s, in my humble opinion, were the END of good childrfens animated programming, while even the stuff called educational of the ealrier era was not "Care Bear/Barney" claptrap.'

BTW used to see this in 1963 and so on.

BTW This show was written by the guy who produced Roger Ramjet. [Ken Snyder.]

[SteveCarras]

A baseball bat \that either he or she or some offscreen kid would hit and some bell jingle would play, and the kid would sya, Let's be friends, and the title, and the episode.

[SteveCarras]

"

Does anyone remember a show called "Friends" or "Let's Be Friends", made in 1970 ?"

[Jennifer Aniston]

FRIENDS-like,that show did SO not happen! [/Jennifer Aniston]

LOL Yeah, I remeber, not THAT Friends,m with Coutrney Cox,et al but the 1970 [producer Bob Behrens] series. It was in Coconut Grove, Florida in 1970 and some random kid, different each time,

[baysadaye]

I have several episodes of "Kid's Stuff" by Bob Behrens, produced from 1964-66. I remember the series of live action shorts from the mid-60s on "Captain Satellite." They didn't play it for long, though, and I can't find ANYTHING on "Kid's Stuff" or Behrens. Perhaps I'll post a "Kid's Stuff" or three in the future.

[weenielongus]

PLEASE post some "Kid's Stuff", haven't seen that since the mid-1960s!!

[Aramis6849]

Great early '60's after school cartoon with superb educational sgments. The science bits were excellent!

[aplustek]

Wow. I remember watching The Funny Company -- dubbed in Spanish -- as a kid in the Dominican Republic. Ah, memories.

[RJRanke]

The Funny Company was one of the most memorable cartoons from my childhood.Kudos to Ken Snyder for giving us education as well as fun.I loved Buzzer Belle,Mary Twitter,Jasper National Park,Dr.Tod,Super Chief,Shrinking Violette(anyone who remembered the Funny Company in later years remembered her)and Beli Laguna.I always remembered the Keep Smiling song and was thrilled to hear it again and find the actual words on another video.

[b1346]

Re runs are still on tv where i live. I forgot what time, but its on some christian channel.

[packard400]

Thanks for bringing back something that I was sure I had just imagined, since it was so long ago. Great cartoon with education thrown in! I am surprised that someone has not been offended by the Indian chief and had this series wiped from the face of history! Thanks for letting me be a kid again for a few minutes!

[PeppeRaskell1]

I remember this show rather vaguely, but didn't know what the heck kind of animal Terry was (I always thought he was a dragon!)

The show is currently being seen on a Christian-themed children's network called "Smile of a Child" (where I live, it's on WTBY channel 54.5 in Poughkeepsie), along with such other Christian classic 'toons as "SuperBook," "Flying House," and "Davey and Goliath."

[weenielongus]

I remember this from the third grade (1964), but I looked it up in YouTube because the "Smile of a Child" copies currently airing have the intro edited. The scene where the kids walk past the guy holding the Stop signs seems to be edited out, and the scene near the end where all the kids are poking out the house is removed too. Can't understand why these two short parts are censored on "Smile of a Child"!?...

[Kdogdude26]

@weenielongus I'm about your age and I don't remember this show AT ALL ! I'm wondering if it was even shown in my community (Spokane, WA).

[shftmar]

I used to watch this on KHJ TV 9 with Uncle Johnny Coons on 9 Island. Thanks for the memories!

[steffonroby]

Great show.

Does anyone remember a show called "Friends" or "Let's Be Friends", made in 1970 ?

The show was about kidswho would be in different cities around the country. They'd be of a variety of races and colors. The show would start off like this:

"Hi, I'm Bill from San Diego...Let's be friends". Then he'd talk about his city for five minutes.

If ANYONE remembers this show, and if anyone knows where to get episodes of it from, let me know.

[denny906]

Saw this on KHJ TV Channel 9 Los Angeles when I was 9 in the early 60's. This used to air before Fractured Flickers.

[amichan57]

I can't remembered I remembered almost all the words to the theme song. For some reason, this was my favorite show to watch! I saw it on Ch. 9 in L.A. too. Good times...

[parkman35]

Used to show in Chicago on WGN on the Garfield Goose show in teh 60's

[ranger0809]

God! I just love watching this tv show when I was in kindergarden and it is one of the best memories of my childhood.

[nanlisa]

Come to think of it, The Funny Company was shown on Sally Starr's Popeye Theater on Channel 6, WFIL (now WPVI) TV in Philadelphia at 4 o'clock. I was in the third grade when I saw this, and I used to sing along with the theme song.

[143AC]

I remember watching on WOR TV Ch.9

in NYC from 1963 to 65.

The late Morty Gunty was the show's

on camera host/performer.

[nanlisa]

I used to watch this every afternoon after school when I was in the third grade, and I used to sing along with the theme. I haven't seen this cartoon since then, which was back in 1966.

[wufeiph]

I was around 4 when I watch this in our old monochrome television. You made me happy my friend!!!

[conrick23]

buaaaa !those days are gone!

aaay ayy ayyy !se fueron esos dias...

[rickthenailer]

A mi no me tocó ver este programa en mi niñez pero hace como diez años me tocó ver un sabado una especie de maraton de más de dos horas de este programa en la ciudad de Monterrey, México en la televisora TV Nuevo Leon, de propiedad estatal. Ni antes ni después se volvió a ver este programa en ese canal. Lo mismo me pasó con El Poderoso Hércules y Clutch Cargo. De lo más extraño.

[jbruges]

alguien tiene la version en español? en la cancion dicen: vengan todos, vengan todos!!!

[kingssoft]

Bueno la version en español era esa y como tu dices, solo que decian, Vengan Todos y de ahi seguian cantando en ingles

[LunitazulQ]

@kingssoft si tienes razon solo decia en español: vengan todos, vengan todos y cosas que ver, cosas que hacer....

[jbruges]

Ahhh, que tal, con razón sólo recuerdo ese pedacito. Gracias

[Dogchow]
