A Childhood Icon Of Mine Leaves Us...

“Venthriloquist, paul Winchell is dead. I loved this guy as a kid. Younger folks might know him as the voice of Tigger in Winnie the Pooh.

He had two dummies that were made famous by him, Jerry mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff. RIP Paul!

“The guy who voiced Piglet died, too.”

“wait no more

wooohoooo?”

“Well, it is sad, but I think Treebeard will get over it and things will be back to normal in a few days at the most, maple.”

“kinda looked like you Tree”

“Read the biography link, too. He was quite an interesting guy. Patented an artificial heart (among 30 patents he had) in 1963.”

“kinda looked like you Tree”
Sarge


I know Knucklehead Smiff and I always looked alike. Was that who you were referring to? :)”

“LOL - No silly. Winchell.”

“Hey, what do you expect from a knuclehead? lol”

“Actually, I took a second look there, Sarge. Never thought it before, but there is a bit of a resemblance in that picture...”

“A kid named Christopher Robin had a friend named Pooh? Yeah, that kid was gay...”

“Back in the day I was all about Bugs and Daffy. LOL!”

“haw...GI joe and teenage mutant ninja turtles :D”

“Don't worry, nigal. You're still a bit daffy! :)”

“[insert cheap "fuking goofy" joke here]”

“Who remembers the "Winchell-Mahoney Time"?

Who can still sing the entire theme song?”

“I can't do the theme song, but I do remeber the show. I used to look forward to it as a kid...”

“I can. ...

Buffalo Bob: Say kids, what time is it?
Kids: It's Winchell-Mahoney Time!

It's Winchell-Mahoney Time.
It's Winchell-Mahoney Time.
Bob Smith and Winchell Do
Say Mahoney Do to you.
Let's give a rousing cheer,
Cause Winchell-Mahoney's here,
It's time to start the show,
So kids let's go!”

“In 1965, Winchell-Mahoney Time was offered up in syndication. This hour long kiddie program was in production for three years - 288 episodes - all erased by Metromedia in a dispute over ownership in 1986.

“I officially feel old now.”

“Sigh~~
I know what you mean...”

“nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I loved Tigger! :(”

“Not that there's anything wrong with that.”

“When I was a kid and read the Saturday comics I couldn't figure out who Cowboy Bob was in the 'Dennis the Menace' strip. I learned later that he was a character in 'Howdy Doody'. In Canada Howdy Doody had Timber Tom as the equivalent to Cowboy Bob.”
