And as Amid pointed out, the 70s series "Mouse Factory" did a "Laugh- In" treatment of some of the shorts, although with much more affection than "Blam!" (and with one of the Nine Old Men, Ward Kimball, as the producer). If anything, the fact that the series revived Carl Stalling's "Minnie's Yoo Hoo" as the closing theme is a good thing. (Yep, Stalling worked for Walt long before he joined Warners.) -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
