TV Series Starring Jim Backus
Gilligan's Planet (1982)
Gilligan's Planet was a Saturday morning cartoon show that aired on CBS from 1982 to 1984. It was one of the last good cartoon shows that aired, because after this show, 80's cartoons got stupider and stupider. It was cancelled not because of poor ratings but because Filmation (the company that produced it) ran out of business. It was also Filmation's last network cartoon series, starting in 1983, they focused on syndication with He-Man, She-Ra, Filmation's Ghostbusters & Marshall Bravestarr. Gilligan's Planet still remains a fondly remembered cartoon classic, just like it's two originals.
What's New, Mr. Magoo? (1977)
Jim Backus (Gilligan's Island, I Married Joan) stars as the lovable nearsighted goof, Mr. Magoo! He is accompanied by McBarker, an also nearsighted talking dog, and his nephew, Waldo! Theme Song What's New, Mr. Magoo?
What new and wild adventure
have you bumped into?
You are a man of stature,
in your hat your 5 foot 3.
You'd be a man of leisure,
if only you could see! What's New, Mr. Magoo?
My, but your dog McBarker
looks a lot like you!
He'd be a good night watch
dog, but he's nearsighted
too! From your peculiar point
of view, this crazy world's
a blur to you! Oh say, can you
see What's New, Mr Magoo?
Gilligan's Island
Gilligan's Island centered around a group of people who where stranded on an uncharted deserted island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. They all were on a boat tour, which found itself in the middle of a storm leading them to crash on an island!
The Bugs Bunny Show
The Bugs Bunny Show is an animated television anthology series hosted by Bugs Bunny, that was mainly composed of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons released by Warner Bros. between August 1, 1948 and the end of 1969. The show originally debuted as a primetime half-hour program on ABC in 1960, featuring three theatrical Warner Bros. Cartoons with new linking sequences produced by the Warner Bros. Cartoons staff.
After two seasons, The Bugs Bunny Show moved to Saturday mornings, where it remained in one format or another for nearly four decades. The show's title and length changed regularly over the years, as did the network: both ABC and CBS broadcast versions of The Bugs Bunny Show. In 2000, the series, by then known as The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show, was canceled after the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies libraries became the exclusive property of the Cartoon Network family of cable TV networks in the United States.
Mr. Magoo
Mr. Quincy Magoo was a near sighted man who gets himself in trouble by not seeing what's what very well.
