or even if Humphrey B Bear was President. He didn't ever say a word.

'Teddy' Roosevelt, after whom the teddy bear was named.

If we're going with bears for President, I would like to nominate the perfect candidates:

Yogi Bear and Winnie the Pooh

One already knows how to take the overstuffed pic~A~nic baskets away from the fat rich bastards and give them to those that are hungry; and Pooh...well, Pooh is just POOH and that's all we need to know.

I think the sexy lingerie item was named after him too!

It'd be fun to watch you guys wait in the queue while someone else steals the steaks.

That happens and we would have to get out the big steel hammer and use it on someone's fingers!

If it's a 'calibrated' hammer, we can measure the breaking strength of the fingers.

Personally, I never quite twigged the "super-hero" thing somehow.
I recall feeling 'done' by the main story being too bloody short and too many magazines (never get to the end). But was really got up my nose, so to speak, was a separate comic for Super-girl, and even the bloody Dog!

Green Lantern made me laugh out loud (was it supposed to?); I ask you, charging up the magic ring. . . .
Batman wasn't so bad until we got the TV series; the only good part about that was the music by Neal Hefti. Apart from Julie Newmar, of course. [phew!]

If you mean the cabin in the photo...I wish!

If you are asking about "The Cabin" being real as far as a group that came together to help each other improve as authors, yes it most certainly does exist. It's a small group with an intentionally limited membership (sixteen currently) that formed to go beyond what we were able to get here in the AH as far as true support, trustworthy and proven advice, help with moving into paid markets, and just "writer stuff" like editing and critiquing.

We have our own board with multiple forums, have published two anthologies (as a group) this year, both of which ranked #1 on Amazon in multiple categories, had several members dive into the eBook pool, been there for each other in times of crisis, illnesses, and even deaths...and all without the far-too-typical battle zones that kept erupting constantly here in the AH at Lit. Even with most all of us either ranked in the Top 250 authors and/or in the All Time Hall of Fames, along with multiple contest winners, egos stay in check in order to achieve the synergistic effect of group dynamics. It also helps a lot that many of us have met each other and our pen names have very real people attached to them now.

Basically, it's just a writer's group that was birthed at Lit. Far from being the only one that's been created here, although we did take it to a new level.

I dunno, HP. Batman (the TV series) had it's other moments too. Whether it was the giant WHAM! BAM! SMACK! OOOF! sound bubbles appearing on the screen, or the constant parade of over-the-top villains, or the never-ending new, supposedly hi-tech, crime fighting "Bat things" they came up with, or if it was just the total campiness of the entire show, the original Batman was a winner.

Didn't hurt any either when the "Adam West made the producers tape down Burt Ward's package because it showed more of a bulge than his" bomb hit. Suddenly Batman even had a "dirty side" to it.

Remember it was on television at a time when Lucy and Ricky were still sleeping in separate beds and everyone was all aghast because a toilet had been in a scene on The Brady Bunch. Anything even close to "dirty" was cool.

Ah, the baddies; Frank Gorshin (Ridler:

Cesare Romero (the Joker )

not to mention Burgess MEredith, David Wayne and the others.


We never fully understood the influence that the 'sponsors' had on a TV programme.
Most of us thought it was completely barmy. The idea of moralists dictating what could be seen:-
A married couple; in twin beds ??
She always wore pyjamas with a high tied neckline.
This, from a nation providing some of the most 'pointed' porn.
Ridiculous, not to put too fine a point on it.

But it's all changed now!

Oh yeah, the famous names in outrageous roles. Batman was probably the first TV series to run with the "Stars as recurring Guest Stars" theme and it worked. 'Murder She Wrote" perfected it nearly two decades later, although it did take several seasons for viewers to catch on to the biggest "Who did it?" clue every week: Which guest star is the biggest star? That's the #1 suspect then!

I don't think it was so much "the moralists" that were dictating things for so many years, as much as the USA had always been so sexually repressed and anything even remotely sexual (very remotely!) became non-gratis on TV. The censors just automatically zapped those scenes out. Even though the afternoon soap operas could get away with just about anything they wanted to, the minute the afterschool hours and family viewing times hit, it was ALL off limits to the point of ridiculousness.

But thankfully producers like Norman Lear broke through that glass ceiling in the 1970's. Bathrooms were suddenly funny and seen! Couples not only had a king or queen bed, but were seen IN it! Lines like "With child" gave way to (gasp!) "pregnant." Gays began coming out of the closet. Women became more than just trophy wives or perfect mother images. And in 1978, NBC dared let a teenage boy...have sex! with its groundbreraking 'James at 15' show. When the prim-and-proper bastion of 1970's virginity, Mary Richards (The Mary Tyler Moore Show), aired an episode where America's working single girl-next-door spent the night with a boyfriend, the end was nigh! Suddenly we even had things like 'Golden Girls' with finely aged women discussing menopause and their latest bedroom antics in the same show.

The rest is pretty much history as the censors and studios finally figured out people wanted reality in everything from comedy to drama and loosened the ropes.

Course the best thing about those old shows is catching all the innuendos and totally risque stuff they managed to slip through the censors chokeholds back then.

It's a toss-up as to which is the funniest television outtake of all time...

...Mrs. Slocumbe's pussy which is PURE gold!

*OR*

...Tim Conway's elephant story on the Carol Burnett Show where Conway starts ad-libbing and yanks total control of the show from everyone for four full minutes...only to have Vicki Lawrence end up owning him and the rest of the cast with six simple words at the end!
