Dennis The Menace Kellogg's Commercial and End Credits

chrono trigger closing credits after kellogg's commercial

[snilefrocki]

Back in the '50s and most of the '60s TV shows had "Brought to you by" exclusive sponsors and many shows had the show's characters do the commercials.

The most amusing I've seen is Granny, Jed Clampett and Jane Hathaway of "The Beverly Hillbillies" sitting around the Clampett's kitchen table all smoking Winston Cigarettes and commenting to each other what great cigarettes Winstons are!

I never recalled the advertisement before, but I was a kid back then and commercials were a time for break to grab a snack or to use the rest room.

Notice the small lamp next to the model sail boat and the chess board on top of the book case in the bedroom, it has a double tiered lampshade(resembling a small wedding cake) which was made of fiberglass back then. Nowadays, there are a common find in Ebay auctions.

Dear Sheri, Jay's Mother and father were already divorced..by the time

that Mr.Jay North was performing on"Dennis The Menace"..his

mother knew nothing about what was going on the set and neither

did anyone else on the show.

[citizenterryk]

maybe it's my imagination, or did the Torch Lady look a bit like Gloria Henry in those days??

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

KFCB "Goodbye, Hollywood. Thanks for nothing."

[Sheri451]

@TEMPmichaelhansen AAAH nothing like SUGAR Smacks, SUGAR Pops, Now its, Honey Smacks and Corn Pops. Remember Sugar Bear?He went away when Super Honey Crisp came out in place of Super Sugar Crisp. This was either the late 70s or the early 80s, now doctors are saying sugar does NOT cause hyperactivity, but Caffeine does.

Dennis needed a good ASS spanking some of the time but he never got it..

[emmtampa]

is this a Jay North vehicle?

[deadguy0]

"Kellogg's knows best dear!"

[143AC]

Dear Radioman, Mr.North was abused by his aunt and uncle and

by the director on the set of Dennis and he was typed

by Dennis..that is why he is angry.

[Sheri451]

@143AC I remember reading one time that Ron Howard wanted him to eat lunch with him on the set and his Aunt refused to let him. Thats mean! Where were Jays Parents?

[143AC]

Dear Celtic Jobber,

To my understanding..?

Mr.Jay North doesn't do nostalgia conventions anymore and

he is an angry man..If I were ever to meet him..I'd stay

away from him.

[radioman66]

What has got him so upset? Is he kind of like Gary Coleman? Gary is'nt the most friendliest anymore either and is very selective with how he revives the Arnold character if at all anymore.

[adrift923]

Actually, he's lightened up alot over the last several years. You can find several pics of him posing with fans at conventions on Google.

[RayPointer]

I've met Jay on two occasions and also saw him in a diner in North Hollywood. He was always willing to talk to me. He was in the Navy the same time I was, and we are the same age. It may have something to do with you you approach him.

[soundsfromnothing]

Wow. This is a rareity. Thanx for posting this!

John Seely was "music editor" for Capitol's "Hi-Q" production library, 'krell'; he performed the same function- and got screen credit- when Warner Bros. used some of those Capitol "Hi-Q" cues in their theatrical cartoons during the 1958 musician's strike. Bill Loose wrote the stock cue that became Dennis' "theme".

[krelllabs]

Sorry, the composer was John Seely.

[Rollman1]

I used to watch Dennis when it was on primetime tv on Sunday nights a half hour right befor the Ed sullavan Show.

Jay North is about the same age as me

Were is he today?

[Kperfekt722]

Last I heard, he was working as a prison guard in Florida. Apparently, he doesn't like to talk about the old "Dennis The Menace" days anymore, which is sad :(

[Rollman1]

I live in Ft.Laud.Fla. Do you know what city ?

[CelticJobber2]

He's retired from being a prison guard now and he lives in Lake Butler, FL. He's a bit more open to talking about Dennis now, he's attended a couple of classic TV conventions in recent years.

[enigma413]

Very good.

[bnsffreighttrain]

The best classic shows ever!!

[fromthesidelines]

The "DENNIS" theme was originally written for the "Capitol Hi-Q Production Music Library" by William Loose- a variation of it can be heard in a 1958 Warner Bros. Road Runner cartoon, and it also turned up in "Gumby" during the same period....

[143AC]

The opening and end them music was

also used on "The Gumby Puppet Films"

back in the late 1950's. I wish I knew the name of the composer

..who wrote that music?

[krelllabs]

Was the composer named Seelye?

[143AC]

It's been a long time since I've seen

this plugs for Kellogg's cerals and the

original end credits for "The Dennis The

Meanace"TV Show.

Thanks For Bringing them back to us.

[fromthesidelines]

Because Kellogg's originally sponsored the show between 1959 and '63 on CBS, the cast delivered an "integrated" commerical for the sponsor's cereals at the end of the episode. The closing credits featured a montage of Kellogg's cereals in the lower left hand corner, which were eliminated from the syndicated reissue prints. Sometimes, an announcer would remind viewers at the very end, "See Kellogg's 'WHAT'S MY LINE?', later tonight over most of these stations."
