Enjoyable and informative tribute to the cartoons Jay Ward didn't create (but you always thought he did)By Bradley DavisA few years ago Keith Scott published his excellent and authoritative book on all things Jay Ward, The Moose That Roared: The Story of Jay Ward, Bill Scott, a Flying Squirrel, and a Talking Moose, all about the history of Jay Ward's animation studio and the cartoons he produced for sponsor General Mills for television in the 60s, particularly Rocky and Bullwinkle and Dudley Do-Right, etc. Over the years various syndication packages of Jay Ward's creations have been mixed and mingled with another batch of cartoons that he did not create, though many have believed that he did. These include the ever popular Underdog and Tennessee Tuxedo cartoons, as well as the The King and Odie, Go Go Gophers, Commander McBragg and others. These cartoons were actually produced for General Mills at about the same time by another studio, Total Television Productions (or TTV). Style and (limited)animation-wise the early cartoons of Jay Ward and TTV are visually similar, having utilized the same Mexican animation studio (Val-Mar/Gamma Productions, a cost-saving venture of General Mills, their advertising agency and others). In Scott's book the TTV cartoons are briefly mentioned and panned mildly as being "pleasant diversions", but not up to Jay Ward's caliber and "screamingly unfunny". Yet many remember them fondly.This new book by Mark Arnold serves as a complement to the Scott book to tell the real history and facts about Total Television Productions and their cartoons. It offers the inside story on the origins of the studio, the people and talent involved involved, and the characters they created. Any person who finds the topic of animation (or at least, the history and business of animation) interesting, or loves Underdog or Tennessee Tuxedo (my personal favorite), should find this book enjoyable. It is well written in a casual readable style, featuring extensive excerpts from interviews with the four principle founders/owners of TTV, as well as bios and interviews with voice actors and animators who worked on the cartoons.The content of the book itself (not counting the episode guide) clocks in at about 250 pages, compared to over 300 in the Scott book. However this book reads much faster, devoting more pages to photos of production art, historic TTV merchandise, storyboards and even entire episode scripts with notes scrawled in the margins. While I enjoyed the Scott book a lot, some have found it exhaustive and verbose, ie, wordy. This book has enough substance but will not suffer the same criticism.The opening chapter gives the basic back story of TTV, featuring extensive interview excerpts from the two original idea men and eventually all four founders. Having read both books, one gets the impression that while General Mills enjoyed great success with Jay Ward's product, he was viewed suspiciously as a bit of a loose cannon by his sponsor, their advertising agency, and even the network. TTV appears to have been their safer, more trouble-free alternative. Neither company had anything to do with the production of the other's cartoons, one being a West coast operation (Ward), while TTV was an East coast studio. Still they were both more-or-less forced to utilize General Mills' and DFS's pet project budget animation studio, Gamma Productions in Mexico City. The purpose of both was basically to create animated cartoons as a vehicle for General Mills to advertise breakfast cereals to kids. The philosophies of the two studios differed however. While Ward reveled in his use of somewhat sophisticated humor that was often lost on children, TTV attempted to create cartoons that were fully approachable by young children but still wouldn't bore older kids and adults.This book includes a chapter about the outsourced Mexican animation house Gamma Productions. It is not as extensive a history as in Scott's book, but is valuable in its own right as it features substantial interview excerpts from one or two animators who actually worked there on cartoons for both Ward and TTV in the 60s, as well as additional details about the studio's history and demise.Other chapters throughout the book focus on the various TTV characters in chronological order (King Leonardo, Tooter Turtle, Tennessee Tuxedo, Underdog, etc), and go into the bios and histories and talents of many of the voice actors who brought the characters to life.Similar to the Scott book, this book provides an Episode Guide that gives a synopsis and airdate of each cartoon for each series that TTV created (as nearly complete as the author could make it given the prolonged unavailability of many of these episodes). There are also a couple of brief appendices featuring info on comic books and actors and animators. This is likely to be the most complete and authoritative book on the TTV story that will ever be written, and it serves pretty well in that regard.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Superb Research on A Great Animation Cartoon Company!By LEONARD J. KOHLI am an animated cartoon fan who was born at the tail end of the so-called "Baby Boom Generation" - I was born in 1958, so most of the TTV cartoons I saw as a youngster were already in syndicated packages - except for UNDERDOG and some of the later shows, which I saw as they originally aired on TV. Like so many cartoon fans, we all wondered what Jay Ward and Co. had to do with these cartoons, as they seemed similar to the Ward stuff, and yet they were NOT! Thnaks to Mark Arnold, he has set the record straight!Luckily for Mr. Arnold, he was able to interview the key personnel behind Total TeleVision productions. Too bad he wasn't able to contact Jackson Beck and some of the other voice actors to fill in some gaps of the history. The reviewer who complains about some KING AND ODIE episodes not being available doesn't realize that these cartoons were not archived and preserved like much (not all) of the work of the Disney Studio. It's like cartoonist Joe Harris bemoaning the fact that he got rid of a bunch of UNDERDOG storyboards and animation cels to free up storage space? Who knew this stuff would be so valuable?! I myself have tried - and tried - in vain to locate ANYTHING about the lost 1930s radio episodes of CHANDU THE MAGICIAN for a book project. Nothing seems to exist, and I have contacted sons, daughters and grandchildren of the people involved with the radio shows - and they have nothing but a few memories! So, be glad that Mr. Arnold and some collectors have been able to find what does exist!Oh, one minor correction! Jackson Beck was not hired by the "Fleischer brothers" to do the voice of "Bluto" in the POPEYE cartoons. Beck was hired by Famous Studio people in 1944 - or possible earlier - to do the voice. William Pennell was indeed the first "voice" for "Bluto." Then came tenor Gus Wickie (or Wicki), Pinto Colvig and a couple others (reportedly even Jack Mercer did the voice for one or two cartoons) before Jackson Beck was hired. Even he coldn't remember the exact details about many of the cartoons when I interviewed him several years ago.All in all, a fine history book on TV animation from an unsung production company - and long overdue!10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Fine "biography" of an overlooked 60s TV cartoon factoryBy Christopher BaratOver the past two decades, Mark Arnold has done yeomanlike service in preserving memories of various pieces of fondly recalled pop culture that have, for one reason or another, fallen by the wayside (though fond memories of them may linger on). Most of his efforts have gone towards commemorating the legacy of Harvey Comics in his fine fanzine, THE HARVEYVILLE FUN TIMES!. For more than 15 years, I've written the RICHVILLE RUMINATIONS column for that magazine and therefore can testify directly to Mark's love for the subject matter. Now, Mark has favored us with a book on the unjustly overlooked output of Total TeleVision productions, a cartoon producer in the paradoxical position of having created several of the best-loved animated TV series of the 1960s, yet currently languishing in such obscurity that (gasp!) no one has even bothered to create a Wikipedia page wholly devoted to the company. Though Mark's book isn't as tightly organized as I might have liked, he presents by far the most detailed and enlightening history of TTV that has appeared to date.Past reference works that have touched upon TTV's output have tended to be condescending at best and disdainful at worst, often making disparaging remarks that compare the company's work unfavorably to that of the Jay Ward Studios.

  • Cpage Paper 5 Marae Sept 30
    2002 - 5 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Media Ownership Working Group Program Diversity and the Program Selection Process on Broadcast Network Television By Mara Einstein September 2002 Executive Summary: This paper examines the extent to which program diversity has changed over time on prime time, broadcast network television. This issue is assessed using several different measurement techniques and concludes that while program diversity on prime time broadcast network television has fluctuated over time, it is not significantly different today than it was in 1966. The paper also explores the factors used by broadcast networks in recent years in program selection. It finds that networks’ program selection incentives have changed in recent years as networks were permitted to take ownership interests in programming. 2 A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON PROGRAM DIVERSITY Mara Einstein Department of Media Studies Queens College City University of New York The views expressed in this paper are those of the author alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Communications Commission, any Commissioners, or other staff. 3 Introduction This paper analyzes the correlation between the FCC’s imposition of financial interest and syndication rules and program diversity on prime time broadcast network television. To demonstrate this, diversity will be examined in terms of 1) content diversity (types of programming) and 2) marketplace diversity (suppliers of programming). This analysis suggests that the structural regulation represented by the FCC’s financial interest and syndication rules have not been an effective means of achieving content diversity. Study Methodology By evaluating the content of programming over the periods surrounding the introduction and elimination of the financial interest and syndication rules, we will measure the trend in program diversity during the time when the financial interest and syndication (“fin-syn”) rules were in effect.
