In Church,when a collection basket is passed,I give a small donation.Because of this cartoon,which I still remember as the first Snuffy Smith cartoon I ever saw,my donation is $1.30.

These days,you're lucky if you can get a cup of coffee for $1.30.

@RJRanke Thanks for all the comments you've made across the videos - I'm glad this has brought back some fond memories for you, and it's lovely to hear from people who've grown up with the series and are happy to see it again.

This is a GOOD one. Note the Record Company Skyscraper's design aping that of Hollywood's Capitol Recpords Tower? Brill!

Query : Paul Frees usually provided the voicves of Snuffy and Barney. This vignette had an actor other than Frees in the Goodle role? Who was it?

Snuffy's got some nerve callin' hisself "bodacious". Loweezy, on t'other hand...dat woman's got the full forty acres. Maybe they's a bit nearer to th' equator than once was, but the TVA's renovated smaller plots than her'n.

She's got giant breasts is what I'm saying. What's up with that?

This was actually Part 1 of a three-part cartoon, with "The Method and Maw" and "The Hat" making up Parts 2 and 3. Co-writer Michael Ross went on to be a writer and producer for "All In the Family", "The Jeffersons" and "Three's Company" in the 1970s.

Uh-uh-oh! Great balls o' fire, I'm bodacious!

Uh-uh-oh! Great balls o' fire, I'm a fright!

Uh-uh-oh! Great balls o' fire, goodness gracious!

I'm chop-chop-chop-chop-choppin' with all o' my might—YEA!

This was the first of the "Snuffy Smith" series produced, and originally released theatrically as part of Paramount's "Comic Kings" series in June 1962, before it was released to TV as part of the "King Features Trilogy" package in 1963. The theme was written by Winston Sharples [and this was one of the few episodes featuring an original score; Sharples' stock cues were mostly used]. Paul Frees, Allan Melvin {the only time he was Barney's voice} and GeGe Pearson provide all voices...

The part where Snuffy, Barney, and Loweezy pass by the long row of desks on their way to Mr. Seymour's office, featuring such departments as "Calypso Hymns" and "Patriotic Sambas" has been edited.
