I'm 72. And can Remember watching this..nobody knows what I'm talking about when I say Farmer Grey cartoons...Lived in Bklyn N.Y...ty glad I found this

It's been 50 years since I've seen these and they are so terriffic and funny. The music definately stayed with us. The classic era stills lives!

[@truestory6148]

Oh yeah, do I agree with you on that! And I never thought about it before, but just thought about it tonight - I wonder if those Farmer Gray cartoons have been put up on KZbin, heck, everything else has. So, like tons of others, I google ol' Farmer Gray about ten minutes ago; and low and behold, a motherlode of these silent cartoons we watched on TV when we were all kids during the 1950s!

Now I know why I love classical music so much, I loved these cartoons dearly when I was so little!

[@AmbersCuisine.]

Love to see old cartoons

That first beautifully expansive music at the beginning with Farmer Al Falfa as a rollerskating policeman is the Minuetto from Georges Bizet's "L'Arlesienne, Suite No. 1". Who the conductor was, I've no idea. Since it came from the Valentino Production Music library in the early 1950's, it might've been either George Chase or Roger Roger. But, of course, I'm speculating. Another piece by Bizet used in these cartoons during the most frantic moments was the Galop from his "Jeux d'Enfants". Memorably catchy classical music. If it's a simulation, as is stated above, it's a very good one. Well done!

NYC 1958 TV GUIDE ; Early Bird Cartoons , 7;30 am Channel 7 , monday thru friday. I thought i remembered watching them every morning and yes they were on everyday. Along with Crusader Rabbit , Spunky and Tadople, Ruff and Reddy , and one of my first memories Colonel Bleep. And the last show before bedtime was Terrytoon Circus with Claude Kirchner and Clownie.

Wow... memories.

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

I was between four and five years old when you mentioned those shows!

[@DAMN_ITS_GOT_SPOTS_ON_THE_TOP]

These Farmer Gray cartoons, along with Felix the Cat, Oswald, and many others of this era are truly my "happy place"! 💗😁😸✨

[@oluhamilton2121]

Getting emotional here. I would watch this while eating breakfast and preparing for school.

What a strange world Farmer Al Falfa lives in. He seems to be the only human in it. I have never been able to warm to him as a character, but I am liking these old 20s Van Beuren/Paul Terry toons more and more. A 20a cartoon works on a different standard than the 30s again different from those so, so golden 40s.

[@luizfernandocanaloficial9511]

There are some other cartoons of him where he's not the only human in the plot.

[@matthewrogers5598]

That released a century ago.

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

I remember those old silent cartoons on TV under the title, "Early Bird Cartoons" . I was between two and four years old and the thing I most remember was the music.

My Sunday morning friends in NYC. Don't remember the channel, but this was on just before Wonderama (WNEW), with Sonny Fox!

You should check out Raymond Scott if you haven't, his "novelty jazz" songs were the basis for most of the music in Warner Bros shorts. Not classical neccessarily, but very interesting.
