I am looking for porky pig in a police uniform. I enjoyed visiting toontracker.

If you do not have porky pig in a police uniform, could you please send me any cartoon characters you have in a police uniform. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Linda,

I'll search for Porky as a police officer. In the meantime, Here are 2 pictures of cartoon characters as police. One is of Huckleberry Hound, the other of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble with the Shmoo. I hope they help.

Please tell me where I can find Penelope Pitstop from the wacky races cartoon.

Hi Gabrielle,

Here is a picture of Penelope Pitstop. You'll also find the theme to Penelope Pitstop on the
Toon Tracker RealAudio page.

Penelope Pitstop was spun off from the Wacky Races and seen on CBS-TV from September 13, 1969 through September 5, 1971. Janet Waldo provided the voice of Penelope, with Paul Lynde as the voice of Sylvester Sneekly and Gary Owens as the narrator.

I hope this helps you.

my husband thinks i'm nuts...i remember a full length feature
which later was turned into saturday morning "shorts" that
featured a yellow character with a top hat named "timer".

the full length was how timer took 2 kids on a "tour" of the
body. the shorts later were "health bits" and the one phrase
that sticks is "i hanker for a hunk of cheese".

PLEASE help! he thinks i've made it up!!
beth.

Hi Beth,

Tell your husband that he'll have to find a different reason to question your sanity!

Timer (voiced by Lennie Weinrib) took two youngsters, Carol and Larry, on "The Magical Mystery Trip Through Little Red's Head", a 1974 DePatie-Freleng production which combined live-action and animation. The hour-long feature was originally broadcast as an ABC Afterschool Special and later re-broadcast as a two-part ABC Weekend Special.

The character was later revived by ABC and DePatie-Freleng in 1977 for a series of ABC Health and Nutrition Commercials, short public service spots on ABC's weekend schedule. Other characters featured in the shorts included Chopper, a motorcyclist who explained how teeth work. One of Timer's topics, in addition to hankering for a hunk of cheese, was explaining to youngsters how to make orange juice popsicles which he called "Sunshine on a Stick".

Why isn't Crusader Rabbit on TV? It beats just about anything else out there!

Can you find -

Tom Terrific (from Captain Kangaroo)

The whole Terrytoons collection (Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle)

Betty Boop

The Beatles

The silent '"Farmer Gray/Farmer Brown" cartoons - 7:30 a.m Ch 9 in NYC in 1950's

Winky Dink (interactive television at its best!)

Based on what's on TV now, all of these series would be an improvement!

Thanks for the Crusader story!

Hi Tom,

I would also like to see Crusader back on TV. Perhaps if we would all contact FOX, the current owner of the rights to Crusader Rabbit, they might consider it.
In the meantime, visit Toon Tracker's Crusader Rabbit Page

As for your other requests, consider them found!!!

Tom Teriffic, Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle, Farmer Alfalfa (AKA Gray/Brown) and all the Terrytoons are featured on Toon Tracker's Terrytoons Page.

Toon Tracker also has a Winky Dink Page.
There is also a page on Winky Dink done by TV Party.

Betty Boop has several pages by others. You can find her at:
Betty Boop Fan Page
The Official Betty Boop Fan Club and
A Tribute to Betty Boop

There's a page by an Australian fan on The Beatles.

I hope this helps you. Oh, by the way, thanks for the vote! If anyone reading this would like to vote for Toon Tracker as the coolest Geotoon cartoon page, please click HERE to vote.

Hi Ron,

Love your site. It is tremendous!!

My wife and I are looking for Mr. Magoo videos. We loved your Mr. Magoo home page. It was very informative. Do you know where we might be able to locate some tapes of old clips or shows?

Sincerely,
Warren & Janet Hicks Hickory, NC

Hi Warren and Janet,

I'm glad you enjoyed the site. Animation has always been a passion of mine, and it's rewarding to be able to share my love of cartoons with others.

There are currently two sources of Mr. Magoo videos. The older, theatrically released Magoo shorts are available on several collections from Columbia TriStar Home Video. There are twelve volumes in a series entitled Columbia Pictures Cartoon Classics. Not all the volumes have Magoo on them, but most do. Vols.2, 5, 7, 8,, 10, and 12 do for sure. The Television episodes of Magoo are available from Paramount Home Video. These include the The Mr. Magoo Show (10 volumes), What's New Mr. Magoo (8 volumes), and the various Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo (12 volumes that I am aware of) episodes.

All of these should be available through local retailers like Blockbuster or Suncoast Pictures, or through Facets Whole Toon Catalog (1-800-331-6197). If they're not in stock, they can be ordered through the retailer.

I would also like to thank the Hicks family for their vote on the Geotoons page, and wish them luck in their pursuit of Mr. Magoo.
