The Letter People - Mr. G Gets a New Sound (Soft G)

From episode 38 of "The Letter People" - How Mr. G Got a New Sound

Mr. J finds a rare gem from an art museum and displays it in his junkyard. Later, he finds out from his radio (which is quite hilarious, I might add) that it's the dangerous Genius Gem, which makes someone disappear if their sound doesn't go with their name. However, he finds this out AFTER Mr. G visits him, touches the Gem, and disappears! In order to bring Mr. G back, Mr. J decides to let him borrow his Jumbled Junk sound before silent E. This process allows Mr. G to come back and when he touches the Gem again, he doesn't disappear.

who did the voice of mr j?

[letterpeopleland]

I suppose only an "insider" would know this. The only people ever credited in the credits were the creators, the director, and the lead puppeteer/set designer King Hall.

...And if you listen carefully, when Miss E shows up, they play the instrumental to Mr. R's song in the background.

[letterpeopleland]

Instrumentals of various songs used throughout the series is playing in the background this entire episode.

X likes to borrow Z's sound too.

They should have saved "gym" for this episode, too...and explained that when Mr. Y is working as a vowel, the same rule applies.

@culpit And in my eyes, Mr C also is borrowing Mr K's sound. (just think about it)

[lilbeatlesfangirl4]

@culpit Anyway it is a good thing the vowels got their long sounds or else they would have disappeared. I do not think Y would be safe either.

@ilovemayo123 i agree. little kids mind cant comprehend to this.

[culpit]

Mr. W isn't safe from the Genius Gem for his wonderful wink sound isn't in his name. Plus it's a good thing Mr. C is borrowing Mr. S's sound now, for he too would've been a victim of the gem without that S sound.
