Whatsits Galore has been a web presence since 1991, not only selling collectibles, but also promoting fan-based sites relating to movies and television, such as Disney films, Star Wars, Sherlock Holmes, and Gilligan's Island.
Now we have moved into the world of blogging, giving you a more personal look at our unique brand of geekery.
There was one special episode of the old tv show Love, American Style. Special to a cartoon-geek like myself, anyway. Love and the Private Eye premiered on Jan. 28, 1972 as part of Season 3 of the series. An obvious pilot for an animated series that never materialized, this Hanna-Barbera cartoon features the voice of Richard Dawson as Melvin Danger, a bumbling private eye who manages to solve the case in spite of his best efforts.
I always wished it would become a regular series with more adventures of Danger, but it was not to be. You can't even get it on DVD, since season 3 of Love, American Style has yet to be released. But you can view it, at least temporarily, on YouTube in its entirety.
YouTube videos have a tendency to disappear without warning, so watch this one while you can.
So, you're a Disney fan, a true believer, a Disneyophile extraordianire. You're also single, female, and looking. If you're shopping for a mate, girls, you have to be certain of one thing: your guy's got to be Disney compatible. He needs to match your DQ (Disney Quotient) if you want to find magic in pairs. But, you ask, how can I be sure? Before you say "I do", check out these ten warning signs to see if you've found Prince Charming or just another frog.
He calls Winnie the Pooh "Winnie". No, no, no. Pooh is acceptable, but Winnie, never.
He changes his favorites with every new movie. Yes, favorite songs, characters, and films can change over time, but beware the guy whose best picture is always the latest picture. You want your man to be steady as the beating drum, so avoid this fickle type. More...
Now that Kermit and Miss Piggy are splitsville, the question remains: who will the Porcine Diva choose for her new paramour? There are a number of eligible, available Muppets to choose from, but which is right for her? Let's consider the possibilities:
Piggy has never had a very high tolerance for Gonzo and his unique brand of weirdness. Besides, he prefers chicken to pork.
Fozzie Bear is exactly the kind of sad sack others love to take advantage of. A strong personality like Miss Piggy will not just walk all over him, but she'll do it in stiletto heels. No, she needs someone with more backbone.
