Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Funny Company, a syndicated cartoon from the Ken Synder studio, was one of two shows debuting in 1963 that was a response to FCC chairman Newton R. Minow's comment that television was a "vast wasteland." It was an "edutainment" show, like the other show debuting the same year, Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales on CBS.Buzzer Bell was the president of the Company, which was an offshoot of Junior Achievement. Through each five-minute episode, a live-action film demonstrating scientific feats, how things are made, etc., is featured. The cast includes inventor Jasper National Park, treasurer Merry Twitter, Terry Dactyl (a prehistoric character in modern times — with a baseball cap, yet), the computer Weisenheimer (who narrated the live-action bits), two adult Indians named Broken Feather and Super Chief, and a sweet, introverted little girl named Shrinkin' Violette.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Many episodes are available on Youtube. It has also been seen on TBN's "Smile of a Child" sub channel, and is also available as a Roku channel. | |
