Silent Funnies
Any of you "pushing fifty" or over like me remember an early 1960s series called Fractured Flickers? It was done by the folks who did Rocky and Bullwinkle and featured host Hans Conreid (well known by me at that time for playing "Uncle Tonoose" on Make Room for Daddy). They took silent films and put absurd soundtracks to them. It lasted only a season, but is one of those cult shows people have remembered for years.

It's coming out on DVD August 31.
