I did the Norman Lear memorial, but I felt bad I didn't do something better.
So, this is that.
I'll retro link this one to that post when I'm done.

TIL: Little House On The Prairie.
So!! I said here...
That "rugged individualist" shit's been screaming howling bullshit since "Little House On The Prairie".
But I've got a whole separate post brewing about that. 😉😏
Well, here it is.
Retroactive post #14.
Some slight cosmetic cyber-surgery.
Gave "Coward Of The County" its own split off (slightly) expanded review, and then linked it back into "Hooray for Hollyweird".
Now the thought-train of the latter flows a little better.

The final quest is completed!!!!!!!!!!
From here.
11 fucking years ago!!!!!
But now, I have everything.
Except....but I don't think I can ever find this...but I didn't think I'd find the other things, so here goes.
I swear this exists, and given I've proved all the rest, you'd better just fucking believe me already....
One of the big three networks, my memory screams CBS, but it could've been any of 'em, had a special adult cartoons special, and this was like, between 1980 to 1982, because we didn't have cable yet.
It was on at like 9:00 so kids would be in bed, it was an anthology of shorts, and I only caught the last one.
It was about a tiny little boy standing on the rim of a giant toilet, and he falls in, and gets flushed.
Yeah, that was about the sophistication level of these "adult", cartoons.
They trumpeted the thing for the whole week prior, and I could SWEAR the thing was called "The Comic Strip".
I've looked for it under that name with Google, and IMDB, and nothing.
Tried key words, tried finding just the toilet cartoon, everything I can think of.
Zilch.
Early TV is kind of in a netherworld.
If it wasn't a hit that stood the test of time, or connected to a big star, it's lost.
They could have just burned the thing.
I dunno.
I mean, look at "Twice Upon A Time".
If a whole feature length film produced by George-fucking-Lucas can fall down the memory hole, nothing is safe.
No one else remembers it, people think I'm crazy.
But, they were like that about all the other things I've since found, so fuck y'all.
Anyway, that's it, this is the last thing.
I could live without it, but....I'd really like to know what it was too.
I didn't imagine it.
So, that's it, unless I find that cartoon, that's the end of all of these.
Bubye!!
I fucking found it!!!!!!
It wasn't comic strip; it was "Jokebook". I was in the ballpark.
It was 1982.
It was Hanna Barbera.
It lasted 3 episodes. 7 were produced; 4 are lost.
The kid-in-the-toilet short is called "Jerome".
Time index for "Jerome" = 16:33

Christmas loot 2024, Part 3.5.
There. The last one was long enough; I didn't think it would be fair to squoosh this in as an afterthought. So, it gets its own post.

Star Trek: Voyager 30th anniversary!!
Sent back in time from (3/30/25)
5 years ago, I observed that Voyager had finally found it's moment in history due to the pandemic.
Since then, Voyager's become pretty important to the Trek galaxy.
-Tom Paris and Harry Kim were on Lower Decks, and LD also did a Voyager tribute episode onboard the ship.
-Seven Of Nine was on all 3 seasons of Picard, and became Captain of the Enterprise-G.
-Janeway, Chakotay, and Holo-Doc were in Prodigy, and PROD is so steeped in Voyager lore, it may as well be Voyager-2.
So, yeah, Voyager is the torch pass to the future generation.
Go figure.
Anyway, why this is late; I was tied up in my post-Christmas Hainish-verse and Earthsea read-a-thons.
Had no estimation how long those would take.
Well worth it though.

Christmas loot 2024, Part 2.
There!!! Jesus!!!
It was driving me crazy!! It was literally driving me crazy!!
Not since my Optimus Prime toy when I was 10, Freddy vs Jason, GB:Answer The Call, and The Force Awakens, has a wait for a thing been more painful and frustrating.
I could barely get to sleep last night!!
Anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
