Jack Webb walks into the newsroom and asks if "your boy still loves "Huckleberry Hound" He was referring to myself in real life. Wehad just gotten our first TV and this cartoon was the first show I ever saw. My father had been the sportscaster for the Pacific Coast League team,The Hollywood Stars, named for the fact that the team was owned by a syndicate of the biggest stars in Hollywood at the time. He also was the host of the show"HomeRunDerby"which ran from1959 to 1960 when he sadly passed away. I am a film composer working in LA and have worked with Andrew Davis and Glen Ballard among others. Jack Webb and my Dad were friends and my Dad can be seen in several episodes of "Dragnet", playing a reporter again and in many other shows of the day including "Fury", "Whirlibirds" and others.
