Beany and Cecil-- Beany and the Boo Birds

[@jln55]

"This is your conscience!".." Well, long time no see!!" Love that.

I love that one Boo Bird who says "Why not!" That was the catchphrase of comedian/voice artist, Dayton Allen. At that time, he was a regular on the Steve Allen show. Look for his album, also entitled Why Not.

I have that LP. :)

4:18 Looks like Cecil thought of that before E.Gadd and Luigi, if you catch my drift.

My absolute favorite cartoon as a child. When I was 6 years old I just liked the cartoon value. I guess. It's been a long time. When I see them now, I love them more. The music,the different rhymes on each episode,cultural references. Bob Clampett was talented and smart. He creativily made sure that you knew whom created Beany and Cecil on every episode.

Heh, the joke at 3:54 would definitely still be relevant today! And to answer the Boo Bird's question, YES.

This was my favorite cartoon, maybe my favorite show, as a child. I loved the Wild Man of Wildsville character. I asked questions of my 6-years-older cousin who seemed to know everything. This cartoon piqued my interest in abstract painting. I understood him to be like Jackson Pollack. I remember Lord Buckley's Shakespeare routine. As kids we used to try learn it and repeat it. I know he was on other shows on TV, and my older cousins or an older kid on my street whose nieces I used to play with must have had some of his records. I loved the puns and wordplay and send up of popular culture on Beanie and Cecil. The other memerable cartoon of this era was Rocky and Bullwinkle. I liked the puns and wordplay, but as a child that show made me nervous with all the spy-counter-spy stuff. I didn't appreciate Bullwinkle until the Ruby-Yacht-of-Omar-Khayyam story series. It was more light-hearted.

A sack of pepper would have been a more efficient sneezing stimulant in size and weight.

Boo birds are native to Chicago😉.

[@marriogrant9309]

😢A. great cartoon that ended too soon. Lasted only one season 😢

[@kathyfowler1269]

reminds me of the popeye cartoon"ghosts is the bunk"

[@kevinmcqueary7395]

why didn't they call it 'Cecil and the Boo Birds'? Beany only appears at the beginning, and ending of this cartoon. Cecil is the one who meets them, and even confronts them on his own.

the Game Grumps brought me to this OLD HR PUFF N FLUFF STUFF from 1096 before Scooby Doo right here.

[@debrahubbard01]

I wish today's cartoons were as cute!

[@tessierashpoolmg7776]

Ren and Stimpy best modern toon, but classics dominate.

[@ZakWolf]

And with "Beany and Cecil" you can see some of the "Ren and Stimpy" influence, along with a few other shows such as "Tiny Toon Adventures" and "Animaniacs!"

[@Sammerkona]

Another faBOOlous episode.

[@lphvm]

[@ZakWolf]

Anyone else notice the recycled music from "Leave it to Beaver" at 0:29?

[@ZooTycoonLord]

Title: "Beany and the Boo Birds" Looks more like "Cecil and the Boo Birds" to me.
