Podcast appearances and mentions of ruby spears

The filthiest language ever on Saturday mornings! Q*Bert hopped out of the arcades and into a pastiche of Happy Days courtesy of Ruby Spears, for a cartoon that was... just kind of mostly there. Atari Archives creator and frequent Retronauts host Kevin Bunch joins Pemmy, Krissi and James to talk about the game, the show, and the circumstances surrounding the video game industry around this time. Hop on in and join us!

Would you believe that in 1973, Evel Knievel wasn't done in by a motorcycle accident but a bunch of bumbling roller skaters? Bailey's Comets, another DePatie-Freleng production conceived by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, attempted to out-do Wacky Races in every regard. More characters! More teams for these characters! More outlandish situations! More memorable protag... no, we can't say that with a straight face. Dastardly and Muttly these bozos AIN'T!!

Spring may be round the corner, but it's always winter in our souls! Yes, as most normal people dare to celebrate the evenings getting ever so slowly lighter, The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour draws the heavy brocade curtains, lights a candle or two and reclines further into the misanthropic gloom. It certainly beats going outside, where the real horror lies. In this extended trailer for their NEW SUPERNATURAL SERIES, Messrs Velvet, Blackout and Bognops move the glass of nostalgic criticism over the animated lycanthropic-farce Fangface, and try to make contact with BBC1's 1992 sitcom So Haunt Me. If there really *is* somebody there, all will be revealed After Dark... How many stars of Capcom had a Before-They-Were-Famous career at Ruby-Spears? How many online auctions of original animation-cells would you have to win before you become the rights-holder of a cartoon? And how many sitcom-dads does it take sitting round the table until they can see the ghost? Watch agog as an unseen spectral hand presses the Play button, and find out...

Arcade games exploded onto the scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with several shows, animated or otherwise, airing on TV.  Jump ahead to the 1990s and video games left the arcade, going to living rooms everywhere.  One popular franchise, still popular to this day, was and is Mega Man, which had an animated show from the masters of adapting video games to television, Ruby-Spears, the minds behind cartoons like Pac-Man, Saturday Supercade, and Dragon's Lair.

The holiday TV tradition of FAMOUS CLASSIC TALES specials by Hanna-Barbera, API, and Ruby-Spears from Kenner Toys is explored with author/historian MICHAEL LYONS.

The animated hosts of the Cult Film Showdown explore the strangest time in human history - the late 20th century. Chuck Norris is so incredible as a voice actor that his voice alone made sections of Karate Kommandos live action! Watch along at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRkso3AeKZUk2kT_iXfXP8PCb6iaufS48&si=7nKxhyHpiA2z0QQm Episode 7 "Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos" Chuck Norris is an operative for the United States government who has a team consisting of Pepper, a technological genius, Kimo, a Samurai warrior, Reed, his apprentice, Tabe, a Sumo warrior, and Too Much, the young ward. Together they foil the plans of The Claw and his right hand man, The Super Ninja. Karate Kommandos (also known as Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos) is an American animated television series that originally aired in 1986 as a syndicated five episode mini-series. It was created by and starred Chuck Norris as himself, and produced by Ruby-Spears Enterprises. The series follows the framing device of Mister T (also a Ruby-Spears production). At the beginning of each episode, a live action segment with Norris, usually at a gym or a martial arts studio, is shown to explain what is going on. At the end of each episode, Norris narrates a moral lesson for the audience to learn.

What's up, dudes? Remember the Centurions? Kenner released the 7” Centurions line in 1986. The figures had cybernetic Exo-Frames with a number of hardpoints on the surface, onto which the various parts of their Assault Weapon Systems attached. In the accompanying Ruby-Spears cartoon, personnel on the orbiting space station Skyvault beamed the AWS to the team.London Editions Magazines published Centurions comics in the UK. Despite the vague near future label, the UK comic firmly establishes the year as 2087 in issue #8 in the 4 page story entitled ‘Time Trap.'  In fact, it's New Year's Eve 2087, and even on Skyvault the turn of the new year is eagerly awaited. Max, Jake, and Crystal have only 2 ½ minutes before midnight, and Crystal beams Jake up to Skyvault to celebrate the New Year with his friends. Just as Jake is teleported aboard, he discovers everything in a state of suspended animation. Yes, everyone of his friends is frozen in time. Investigating with the space scanner, Jake discovers that time hasn't stopped, just slowed down almost to a halt. Doc Terror apparently fired a Time Stasis beam at Skyvault causing some sort of time distortion. Not knowing how to operate Skyvault's defense systems, Jake instead opts to use Ace's Orbital Interceptor AWS. He's not used to handling space missions though, and he flies erratically. Fortunately, this prevents Doc Terror from locking his weapons on him. Jake fires a multi-particle missile at Doc Terror's Flying Fortress, disabling it and shutting down the beam. Free from the time stasis, Crystal beams Jake aboard, and the team ushers in the new year.Weapons? Check. Teleporters? Yup. Dracula? Umm… So put on your Exo-Frame, yell Power Extreme, and dive into this episode on the Centurions!Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com! Later, dudes!

Puppy Power Goes Wrong! Or rather, it first goes right then goes wrong? Or goes right in all the wrong ways? The legacy of Scrappy-Doo, one of the most maligned characters Hanna-Barbera ever created, isn't as simple as some make it out to be, and Pemmy, James and Krissi sit down to hash out what happened, when and why, while looking at three cartoons featuring the pup. It's a tale of network executives meddling, writers reaching and Fred Flintstone's catchphrase being turned into yet another dog. Enjoy!

On this episode, Scott and Michael celebrate the Ruby-Spears animation studio, which produced a number of animated TV shows in the 70s and 80s, including “Fangface,” “Plastic Man,” “Rubik the Amazing Cube,” “The Puppy's Further Adventures,” “Goldie Gold and Action Jack,” “Thundarr the Barbarian,” and more.

Before the early 1980s, Hanna-Barbera and Filmation were the only two industry juggernauts that ruled the Saturday Morning airwaves with HB ahead of the pack.  And nobody could catch up to either in popularity and the amount of animated shows they produced in a factory-like way. But with the advent of weekday afternoon and first run syndication in the 1980s, other companies started to appear and for the first time become real competition for the two studio giants of the animated landscape.  The one that popped out of nowhere and was stiff competition for both was a French/American company called D.I.C. Or Diffusion Information Communications was its full name … although there are some in the industry that thought it should have stood for Do It Cheaply. Though, much like a great number of these companies that cropped up in the 80s, D.I.C produced a great number of shows based on toys (M.A.S.K and Care Bears) as well as shows based on comic strip characters (Heathcliff and Dennis the Menace).  Their most popular and best remembered character might very well be INSPECTOR GADGET. An original character that was not connected to a popular toy line. Although one would come out of its popularity. D.I.C was also infamous in the industry for underbidding properties and courting toy companies away from other studios. A good case in point is the way they took over Alvin and the Chipmunks from Hanna-Barbera legends Ruby-Spears and GI Joe away from Sunbow after the failure of GI Joe the Movie. So, join Bret, Jamie and Andrew as they take a trip down memory lane as they prove once and for all that they DO know D.I.C. And a big thank you to performer Madam Misfit for allowing us to use her electro swing version of INSPECTOR GADGET at the end of this episode.  Please go to her website to learn more about her as well as listen to and purchase her music. And follow her on social media.

Alan and Rob are joined by one of the most influential and impactful comic creators of all time, Marv Wolfman who details his experiences helping to create one of the oft-forgotten Superman cartoons, the beloved Ruby Spears animated series of the late eighties. He also gives his thoughts on current Superman comics, movies and other great anecdotes from his legendary career.   RATE AND REVIEW THE SHOW ON APPLE PODCASTS, PODBEAN AND SPOTIFY, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!   FACEBOOK:    @allstarsuperfan INSTAGRAM: @allstarsuperfan TWITTER:       @allstarsuperpod EMAIL:             allstarsuperpod@gmail.com   Thanks to Shawn Allen for our music and Aaron Price for our artwork.

What was it like on set? Yes, she filled me in on all of it! A consummate professional, Darcy, who's also super kind and sweet, really fielded my relentless questions with ease! So grab your mouse co-author, shove him in your purse or backpack, and go investigate this episode!

In Hollywood today talking with American voiceover actor Beau Weaver, talking about how he made the challenging transition from a career in radio personality (KILT and KULF/Houston; KFRC/San Francisco; KHJ/Los Angeles) to voice actor; becoming one of the pioneers of satellite broadcasting as an original member of the air staff for 'Transtar Radio Network'; the backstory of his first promo voice company called "Three Fine Pipes" and how taking classes with legendary voiceover actress Joan Gerber helped launch him into a successful voiceover career with clients such as Animal Planet, National Geographic and Entertainment Tonight, to providing the voice of Superman/Clark Kent in the Ruby-Spears produced animated series 'Superman' and later as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in Marvel's 'Fantastic Four'. The candid and always original Beau also explains how to balance working hard and setting goals together with being inspired and being present (a harder lesson to learn as he describes in the podcast); plus two things he does every day that bring him joy. Sit back, tune in and learn from this master storyteller! 

The greatest Saturday morning ever? Quite possibly. It was September 6, 1975 when the TV networks pulled out all the stops to grab a sci-fi loving audience, hungry for entertainment (and product tie-ins). Relive the moment that Filmation, Krofft, Hanna-Barbera, and Ruby-Spears ruled the airwaves. Follow Sci-Fi 5 for your daily dose of science-fiction history.

Buzz Dixon's writing resume has included Thundarr the Barbarian, Jem, Inhumanoids, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Tiny Toon Adventures, Tarzan and the Super 7 (the Web Woman installments), Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, Dungeons & Dragons and the Teen Wolf animated series. He has worked for Filmation, Ruby-Spears, Sunbow and Warner Animation. He has also worked with some legendary people including Jack “The King” Kirby. The man who basically created the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it. But it's GI Joe he's best remembered. And wrote some of the most memorable episodes for the series using his time in the Army to help guide the writing team in creating stories for a military team. Bret, Jamie and Andrew continue their discussion about work in the industry and the weekday afternoon and Saturday morning. And his thoughts about the revival of interest in 1980s property. And what it was like being part of creating those properties back then. As well as advice to young writers who wish to get their ideas out.

Don Bluth's laserdisc games helped keep arcades interesting for just long enough while the console side of video games was going bust, and Ruby Spears capitalized on it with the Saturday Supercade series on CBS. Space Ace was one of seven total games adapted into this anthology series, and it's... not great. It's a mild sight better than some of the other shows on it, sadly.Special thanks to Krissi Harding from James' other podcast, Gaming Street Irregulars, for helping with the intro!

Take equal parts Star Wars and Conan, dash in some Mad Max for flavor, and you get one of the most stylish cartoons to ever come out of Ruby Spears! Thundarrr, Ariel and Ookla quest across the world to free oppressed people from power mad wizards across twenty one episodes. With outrageous antagonists designed by Jack Kirby, and glorious illustrated backgrounds, this series was truly ahead of its time. We're joined by Justin Toner to enjoy "Mindok the Mind Menace" and "Master of the Stolen Sun Sword."

By his own admission, screenwriter, game designer and author Flint Dille considers himself almost famous. He also never forgets how fortunate he was to be writing for television animation during what he has referred to in his book as ‘the geek 1980s'. In the forefront of the storytelling landscape from his early work with Ruby-Spears to the memorable episodes he wrote for both GI Joe and later as a writer and script editor for the Transformers. Working with some of the biggest luminaries of our time including George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Jack Kirby, Frank Miller and Gary Gygax.

Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week, we get back to the Saturday morning basics… cartoons! What is it about that magical Saturday morning animation that took our attention, sparked our imaginations and created a popular culture that we celebrate today? The debate begins and to help us draw to a few conclusions we have an animation heavyweight in Aaron Augenblick founder of Brooklyn based Augenblick Studios, an independent animation studio. Notable productions include The Jellies!, Losers, UglyAmericans, ShortiesWatchin’ Shorties and WonderShowzen. Augenblick co-wrote and directed the 2007 short film GoldenAge, which was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival and won the Grand Prize in the Ottawa Film Festival. To relax a little, Augenblick Studios animated two episodes in Netflix’s HeadspaceGuidetoMeditation series that takes viewers through the benefits and science of meditation and has now focused his attention to developing original content at HBO Max, Adult Swim, TBS, and PBS. He created the horror-comedy series DeathHacks for Snapchat, which debuted in Fall 2020 and has animated and produced the upcoming Adult swim half-hour comedy series TeenageEuthanasia that will premiere next year. Whoa, that’s a lot, so let's get to it! Join Grim Shea, Marke, Jimmy The Gent and Johnny Heck as they pay homage to cartoon greatness, Ruby-Spears and celebrate the cartoons that were, are and will be!

Episode 244: Floyd Norman.  Join host Cody with Justin, Jenn, Joe, and friend of the show, Animator, Screenwriter, Artist, & Disney Legend Floyd Norman.  Settle in and enjoy the master storyteller.       Norman had his start as an assistant to comic book artist Bill Woggon, who lived in the Santa Barbara, California, area that Norman grew up in.  Norman first joined the Disney studio in 1956. As an in-betweener on Sleeping Beauty, he assisted Frank Thomas working on the fairies Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. As an assistant animator on Mary Poppins, he worked on The Pearly Band. As a story artist on The Jungle Book, he was responsible for much of the gags in the "Trust In Me" sequence with Mowgli and Kaa, and for the Vultures. After Walt Disney's death in 1966, Floyd Norman left Disney Studios to co-found the AfroKids animation studio, with business partner animator/director Leo Sullivan. Norman and Sullivan worked together on various projects such as the original Hey! Hey! Hey! It's Fat Albert television special which aired in 1969 on NBC (not to be confused with the later Fat Albert series made by Filmation Associates). Norman returned to Disney at one point in the early 1970s to work on the Disney animated feature Robin Hood and worked on several animated television programs at Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears. In the 1980s he worked as a writer in the comic strip department at Disney and was the last scripter for the Mickey Mouse comic strip before it was discontinued. More recently he has worked on motion pictures for Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, having contributed creatively as a story artist on films, such as Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc. for Pixar and Mulan, Dinosaur, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame for Walt Disney Animation, among others. He continues to work for the Walt Disney Co. as a freelance consultant on various projects. Norman has also published several books of cartoons inspired by his lifetime of experiences in the animation industry, Faster! Cheaper!, Son of Faster, Cheaper!, How the Grinch Stole Disney, Disk Drive: Animated Humor In The Digital Age, and Suspended Animation: The Art Form That Refuses To Die. Norman's latest book, titled: Animated Life: A Lifetime of tips, tricks, techniques, and stories from an animation Legend (Animation Masters) was published by Focal Press in 2013  Debuting at the 2017 D23 Expo, Disney Editions published the picture book: A Kiss Goodnight written by Richard Sherman and illustrated by Norman. Floyd Norman: An Animated Life, a feature-length documentary on his life and career was released in 2016.   Twitter Info: @Elizabeth_DTE (Elizabeth), @JennLovesDisney (Jenn), @InsideDisney407 (Cody), @HatboxMouse (Jared), @justinkoehn (Justin), @tmkbradio (Joe), @doubleoh_kevin (Kevin), @rahrah6263 (Robyn) Contact us via email at cast@tmkbpodcast.com Our show sponsor               We give you the royal treatment you deserve.  Contact our sponsor, Allergy-Free Princess at:      http://www.allergyfreeprincess.com/ I am a full-service travel agent with Destinations to Explore.  I would love to help you and your family plan your perfect vacation.  The best part of my service is that it is totally FREE for you.  Contact me and let's start putting together a vacation that is perfect for your family.
