Episode two, the pilot of Jay Ward's Hoppity Hooper series, produced in 1960 (four years before the actual series aired) and featuring Alan Reed as the original voice of Fillmore (recorded before he became Fred Flintstone's voice).
Was that Alan? He and Daws Butler [yet again reprising his :"Super Snooper, private eye cat" voice [itself borrowed from radio's "Duffy's Tavern"] for a 1961? Flintstones as a couple of gangsters who stop Fred and Barney, themselves private eyes now, who are planning to take Wilma and Betty to some concerto.
What I don't understand is, IIRC, Part 1 did not have this background music or Gerard Baldwin's animation---it was the typical Gamma stuff. (And I don't recall Parts 3 & 4 at all.)....Was the pilot only "part 2"???
Alan Reed the "ORIGINAL" Fillmore Bear also used Fillmore's voice in the classic Flinstones episode "The Prowler" which he did the voice of a prowler who got "JUDO-ED" by Wilma & Betty who though that the prowler was Fred who tried to play a joke on the girls (Also voiced by Alan Reed).
Theatre: has 2 working componets,2 different schools,writers,producers,directors and the actors-different school-but actors started to Produce,Jealousy from the Hollywood MOGALS.
