I AM A CLEVELANDER I REMEMBER ALL THESE CHARACTER'S I GREW UP WATCHING THEM IT WAS A PLEASANT CHILDHOOD GOOD MEMORIES ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thanks for this great presentation! I listened to an interview with Mark Mothersbaugh said here he mentioned Barnaby and his tendency to get melancholy, and it got me curious.
I remember when Barnaby first appeared on TV. He had a little set that was furnished like a prop room. It had a trunk and a bird cage and some empty picture frames. He told the audience that he did not have a name, so he called himself "Little Me." He sat on his trunk and acted like a sort of elf and was supposed to be smaller than a human. I think that the very first few shows, he was filmed off set and was superimposed, with kind of a see-through look, onto his set in that smaller size. After a few shows, he started showing up as a solid character on the actual set. He was probably trying to decide on the right character to have for his new show. Then after a few shows, he announced that his name is Barnaby. He used to tape over his eyebrows and draw eyebrows higher up on his forehead and wear a lot of makeup. Of course, he had the pointed ears and the straw hat right from the start. His show was famous for his good-bye segment. He would walk over to the door of his shack, and in a cheerful manner say, "Well Little Neighbor, that's all for today. Now don't forget, if anybody calls, tell them "Barnaby said 'Hello'" then he would get serious, look intently into the camera and continue saying, "And tell them that I think that - you - are the nicest person in the whole world. Just you Little Neighbor. Just you." In his book, Linn Sheldon related that he had a difficult childhood. I think that this good-bye line of his was a chance to validate all of the kids out in TV land who felt forgotten, and maybe to validate himself in retrospect.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that Linn Sheldon played a kid's show host named Uncle Leslie, just before we had the character, Barnaby. Uncle Leslie had a clubhouse and called his meetings to order by banging an over-sized mallet on a gavel and the head would fly off of the handle, off camera, with a thud, He'd say, "I think that landed in Uncle Leslie's soup bowl!" When Barnaby appeared, I thought he looked a lot like Uncle Leslie, who we never saw again.
😂😂😂😂😂
Haha I love it!
Many many more congrats Ma'am
As a modern Orthodox Jew from New York, I was always amazed that our people were never portrayed on the screen. I therefore lacked characters I could identify with or emulate. I blame Hollywood and the powers that be for this omission and the damage that it has caused me and my family.
Thank you
