Is that Beetle Bailey on TV?

My dogs like the bed, too.

The only place I ever saw the Beetle Bailey cartoons was at the movies. Can’t ever remember them on the tube. I do remember the theme song though. “Beetle Bailey”!

I don’t remember the Beetle Bailey theme, but I do remember the Snuffy Smith one – “Oh oh oh great balls of fire, I’m bodacious ……….”

I wish my kids did not want to watch “repeats”. I can almost recite entire episodes of their shows of choice.

Poochie is just like my cats.

Beetle Bailey also had a radio show in the early ’50s, as did other comic strips, like Prince Valiant, Archie, and Blondie.

Nancy even had a few short on TV during the early ’70s.

She has good tastes in TV viewing. I used to read the BB comic strips and thought they were funny. Then, I joined the Army (3yrs -Cold War) and found out just how realistic he was. At Ft. Gordon there was a sp-4 MM that was so unmotivated that he made BB look like a workaholic! Wondered how he ever made it to E-4, then later learned that everything at that time was right place – right time.

Why doesn’t gocomics have Snuffy Smith repeats? A real classic.

Arcamax has the Barney Google and Snuffy Smith comics.

Beetle’s appearance here is really cool.

Anyone else remember the BB Movie cartoons? In one Beetle and Sarge go into a fancy restaurant in town, and Sarge orders SOS. Waiter: “What’s SOS?”Sarge: “Well, you start with 2 pieces of burned toast——-”

I recall watching Beetle Bailey cartoons in the mid 60s. If you’re from the Pittsburgh region, can you remember Paul Shannon’s Adventuretime? There was some good stuff on there: The Three Stooges, The Little Rascals, Kimba, Snuffy Smith, etc.
