Skeleton Man
(2004)

A Skeleton Script...
Skeleton man? What a lame excuse for wasting one's time. Ed Wood Jr. could have come up with a better tale. Made for the lame Psi-Phi cable Channel. I remember the superior SCI-FI Channel, which showed better things in it's day. They wouldn't have even approved this garbage.

Even I can come up with a better story and use almost the same character. The whole character looks wrong.. Cottonmouth Joe,(the skeleton man),is suppose to be a native American. Imagine a skeleton with long black hair wearing buckskin.

What we get is a stunt man dressed up in a low end, over-sized,GRIM REAPER costume.

Spoilers?.. We then get a bunch of barely known to unknown actors fighting Skeletor in the Woods. There is nothing to spoil. This movie looks and feels like a tax write off.

The only good thing that came from this title: "Skeleton Man", was 2013 Axis of Awesome's silly song about a lame hero called: Skeleton-Man and his enemy Skin-man.

Ghost of Stephen Foster
(2000)

A Ghost of a Classic!!
Squirrel Nut Zippers made an instant classic. In this retro style cartoon. We see a loving tribute to the early Max Fleischer shorts that starred Betty Boop and Bimbo. Yet here's a twist.. The main characters resemble and act more like The Warner Bro's Character Buddy and his flapper girlfriend Cookie. In a frenetic, high Octane, madcap 4 minutes of musical mayhem.. We see the creepy staff of the Hotel Paradise terrorize The cute couple with every gag in the Max Fleischer library. It's a belly busting laugh from beginning to The End..... This could have been Buddy's biggest toon.. But he just gets hit in the head by Wakko, Jakko, and Dot.

Underdog: The Witch of Pickyoon
(1965)
Episode 33, Season 1

Ha,ha! Ho,ho! He,he! Come and get me!
The Witch of Pickyoon is the most fiendish villain that ever deserved to be punished... In a capital manner.. I regard this episode as one of my childhood favorites. After Polly's Plane is caught up in a strange freak storm, she calls for Underdog. Racing to her aid. Underdog finds that it crash-landed in the uncharted land of the Pickyoon. It is ruled by a despotic Witch, who became aware of Underdog's great power. Power she wishes to use for evil purposes.

The Witch strikes at Underdog through his heart.. By placing Polly Purebred under a 1,000 year sleeping spell. Then Making Underdog perform Herculean task in order to free Polly.

Being the only Cliffhanger story that starts at end of season-1 and finishes at the beginning of season-2.

It was the only episode in which an angry Underdog fights to the death and the only one where he kisses Polly...
