Vau...Is it really "a Broadway reference"? Vaudeville comedians often began a story with the line: "A funny thing happened on the way to the theater". Here, they changed it to "the Coliseum" (sic). The Sondheim-Shevelove-Gelbart musical premiered on May 8, 1962, months after this cartoon was first aired. But the coincidence is indeed intriguing, since both works are set in Roman times. How far ahead did they start advertising for the show? That information could throw some light into the matter. By the way, IMDB, Wikipedia, and BCDB all give Ben Huck's airing date as September 15, 1961, whereas Yowp says it is February 5, 1962, a date for which I did not find confirmation anywhere else. Similar date divergences from IMDB occur for several other episodes reviewed on this site.Fact Checkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-58191681516225410422015-09-30T09:39:19.818-07:002015-09-30T09:39:19.818-07:00I love how Huck gets so disgusted at the barbarian...I love how Huck gets so disgusted at the barbarian's "HEH-HEH-HEH-HEH", he grumbles near the end, "I hope he laughs hisself SICK!".bgraumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481033911573623806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-2080890578603530322015-01-06T10:31:08.013-08:002015-01-06T10:31:08.013-08:00I love Huckleberry HoundI love Huckleberry HoundAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-45694730662222677922015-01-05T15:00:48.473-08:002015-01-05T15:00:48.473-08:00I agree Rob.

Methinks Tony missed a trick by having at least *one* chuckle being interrupted be a "ka-nock" on the head or something.

The Hoyt Curtain trumpet was timed quite nicely there.<br /><br />You must be pretty close to completing these cartoon reviews, though.
