I cribbed this link from Jerry Beck over at Cartoon Brew but it's too good not to spread. Not only does Scrappy now have his own website but there's an entire site devoted to the legendary TV kids' show, Kukla, Fran and Ollie. It has pictures and clips and info and…oh, just go there and see for yourself.
It also has a clip of one of the "hand ballets" that the show's puppeteer, Burr Tillstrom, performed on the NBC TV show, That Was the Week That Was. He did several but the one about the Berlin Wall was the most famous…and you have to wonder: If you walked into one of the major networks today and said, "I want to do a political commentary piece that will only show my hands acting as puppets," exactly how far do you think they'd drop-kick you out of the industry? But someone let Tillstrom do it back then, and it was amazingly effective and entertaining. I wish someone would dig out the old episodes of TW3, as it was usually abbreviated, and put them out on DVD. The series was full of wonderful moments like that one.
