  • Hillbilly Bears Cartoon Torrent Download Hillbilly Hare
    hillbilly bears cartoon torrent download Hillbilly Hare. Bugs happily sings “I Like Mountain Music” while vacationing in the Ozarks until he meets Curt Martin pointing a rifle in his face. “Be ya’ all a Martin or be ya’ all a Coy rabbit?” Bugs replies, “My friends say I’m very coy!” Bugs gives the hillbilly a sob story, then ties his rifle barrel into a bow. He then meets brother Pumpkinhead, who also points his gun at him, mistaking him for one of the Coys. Bugs eventually gets out of the Martin-Coy feud by going in drag as a hillbilly gal and then calling a square dance which gets increasingly violent. The mountain men chase the rabbit into a powder house full of explosives. Bugs offers them a lighter to help them see. The shack is blown to bits! List of episodes of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour. The following episode guide has been assembled from a variety of sources. Following the sequential number of each episode are the original airdate and subsequent repeat airdates, when known (based on TV Guide listings), followed by brief episode summaries, also from TV Guide listings. For Season 1 episodes (1968-1969), rundowns of each show (which follow the brief TV Guide descriptions) are based on the shows themselves. The only tape copies available for review originate from rebroadcasts during the 1969-1970 season. These revised prints are identified by the suffix REV in the official episode numbers (for instance, Show #K-01 REV). Show openings, closings, bumpers and sponsor billboards in Season 1 shows were replaced for subsequent NBC reruns to match Season 2 shows (some of the bumpers featured the Season 2 Splits with the blue-and-yellow-vested Snorky, and Goofy Gopher, who was only seen in Season 2); any other changes made to the episodes for subsequent Saturday morning reruns are indicated if known.

  • John Mchugh '70 Tapped As Next Secretary of the Army
    pioneerA Magazine of Utica College | Fall 2009 SPECIAL IssUE | 2008–2009 PRESIDENT’S REPORT “Uniquely qualified to lead.” John McHugh ’70 tapped as next Secretary of the Army. T he View from the President’s Office By Todd S. Hutton ust as families across the nation have been grappling with a historic economic downturn, this has proven to J be a time of unprecedented challenges for America’s colleges and universities. Yet, in a year when college fundraising has almost uniformly fallen short, Utica College saw a record tally in its unrestricted Annual Fund for 2008-09, exceeding the previous year’s total by several thousand dollars. This remarkable achievement was realized through the unwavering commitment of the College’s most loyal benefactors. To those whose names appear in the Honor Roll of Do- nors found in this issue of the Pioneer, I offer my deepest gratitude along with that of the entire UC community. We can take some pride in this positive outcome, if only for a moment. This institution, like so many others, still faces significant challenges in the months and years ahead. But while many other colleges and universities grapple with significant budget gaps due to a loss of endowment income, UC’s prospects for continued strength are, as always, tied directly to the financial well-being of the students and families we serve. As many of you are aware, those families are hurting right now. Job losses and reductions in state and federal aid since the start of this recession have severely affected persons and families of moderate income, bringing the cost of “In times such as a college education far beyond the reach of many deserving students.

  • 'TOON IN, 'TOON OUT: AMERICAN TELEVISION ANIMATION and the SHAPING of AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1948-1980 by David Perlmutt
    ‘TOON IN, ‘TOON OUT: AMERICAN TELEVISION ANIMATION AND THE SHAPING OF AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1948-1980 by David Perlmutter A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Joint Master’s Program – Departments of History The University of Manitoba / The University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Copyright © 2010 by David Perlmutter ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a systematic study of significant American television animation programs produced between 1948 and 1980, with special attention given to selected works produced by three influential studios: Hanna-Barbera, Jay Ward and Filmation. It considers how outside forces such as television network censorship, grassroots political activism, and other social and political forces served to limit how the genre developed, and the extent to which producers chose to test the limits to get their points across. It provides a discussion of masculine images in television animation of the 1950s and 1960s, and of the reactions of television animation producers to outside concerns regarding violent imagery in children’s programming, and the threat of censorship related to this, in the 1970s. My thesis demonstrates that television animation producers, as a result of the need to remain actively involved in production, were forced to change and adapt with the times around them. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me through this endeavor. I have appreciated their support especially in those times when I doubted my abilities, because they never did. I particularly want to thank Professor Churchill and Professor Elvins for giving me their advice and guidance in the long and arduous process of conceiving the draft.

They grew large gardens, raised chickens for eggs and meat, built their own homes, and fixed their own cars and trucks. On the Yurok Reservation, I again saw a profound and ongoing engagement with hunting, gathering, and crafting activities – and then encountered contemporary subsistence yet again when I visited my wife’s childhood home in rural Ireland. When I began my graduate studies, however, I could find little reflection of these activities in either the scholarly record or popular media. When they were noticed at all, they were often targeted for stereotyped ridicule: contemporary homesteaders in the US were either remnant hippies from the ‘60s, or quaint mountain folks lost in time.
