My father and I watched this YS broadcast as my Mom was in the hospital for a hysterectomy. Talk about weird bonding.
Can't remember how old I was when I first saw the photo of the Heaviest Man....
Yer freakin my synapsis here!!
this must have been MST as prime time starts at 7, not 8.
I remember that pic from guinness book.
Yeah, some of the entries mention Salt Lake City for alternate times. Forgot about some of those shows: Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home, Hec Ramsey, Room 222, UFO, etc.... And that ad... - "Robert Earl Hughes was not buried in an old piano case, as per an apocryphal story long published in the Guinness Book of World Records. Rather, the Embalming Burial Case Co. of Burlington, Iowa, built a custom casket: 85 inches long, 52 inches wide and 34 inches deep. It was made of heavy cypress, reinforced with steel."
In 1960, TV personality Steve Allen was the target of a person or persons sending threatening letters which were sent using forged names of senior citizens as the senders. More here with pertinent links at the bottom.
Oh my God—Wojo! "How do you spell your name?" "...Like it sounds." I had no idea that Max Gail did this kind of piano bar thing. Was this before or after "Barney Miller"? I'm guessing before but you never know.
Abe Vigoda was another great character actor on that show. His character Sgt. Fish was like a tuna fish sandwich with the mayo about to spoil.
I was channel surfing one afternoon and stopped to watch. 1) the music is fantastic and 2) there's that great fisticuffs/brawl scene between Peck & Heston.
Somehow I stumbled onto that movie...I think it was showing on my PBS station. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. I got the impression that it was a big-budget movie that Hollywood wanted to be a blockbuster hit and so everything was BIG and DRAMATIC. Beautiful cinematography, Greg Peck is always fun to watch and Jean Simmons
It's actually pretty good. Ives did unhinged surprisingly well in that.

I have never heard of that series of serieses. I have never seen Burl Ives in a non-animated snowman role. Well maybe a couple of jolly singing neighbor roles.
I had to google Farantino. Joe was cool.
watch the movie The Big Country. Ren & Stimpy got a lot of lines from Burl Ives in that movie.

The only "live action" thing of Burl Ives I remember, other than that show, is "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof". I only watched a few episodes of that show, probably hoping he would break out into "Silver & Gold" or some other song. I saw Ives perform once when I was a kid; I'm pretty sure it was one of the Sloop Clearwater Festivals that Pete Seeger used to have along the Hudson River. I remember he did "Froggy Went A-Courting", but he didn't do any of the numbers from "Rudolph" - probably because it was summer.

That's a recommendation!
