Larry Mann also voiced the Wicked Witch of the West; it's interesting how the voice started out high and screechy, before switching to imitating Jonathan Winters's Maude Frickert persona (and it was pretty spot-on!)
@toastichedu I watched this on CFTO in Toronto, Ontario every Saturday morning on Global TV every Saturday afternoon. :) It was the most fun that I ever had sitting on my grandma's lap. :)
Bernard Cowen was also the voice of J. Jonah Jameson in the 60's Spiderman animated series, Frier Tuck in Rocket Robin Hood and was also a regular on The Wayne & Shuster Show.
+wileyk209zback I am basing my comment on old Wayne & Shuster shows. Cowen was part of the acting ensemble, and was introduced at the end of the show. So, I have a name and face attached to the name. Still, my memory could be shaky. Let's see if anyone else chimes in.
Here's a listing of the complete voice cast: Carl Banas - "The Wizard" Corinne Conley - "Dorothy" Bernard Cowan - "Munchkins", Various Stan Francis - Various Paul Kligman - "Dandy Lion", "Ham" Peggi Loder - Various Larry D. Mann - "Rusty the Tin Man", "Wicked Witch", "Topsy Turvy", "Desmond the Dragon" Alfie Scopp - "Socrates the Strawman", "Baker", "Robby the Rubber Man"
@BillFugate "Rusty" is a "Joke" name, just as are all of the name for the other characters: "Socrates" Strawman, "Dandy" Lion? Rather obvious, isn't it?
Heh, that first part of the pilot is pretty much the only episode that does NOT close out with that music cue that ends each installment in the series. (Though it does play in the middle of the story, at 3:51 - 4:18.
No, you're not! I saw that show many years ago, when it aired on CFTO-TV in Toronto. (I spent the first years of my life in Oakville, ON.) It was old even in the 1970s, but a lot of fun to watch - the fast animation was favored in the early days of TV because it was cheap and presumably suitable for the new medium's time demands.
Yep and you was right to because you know what that was the coolest cartoon I was saying my life back in them days man I love that cartoon The Wizard of Oz in a place called The Wizard of Oz they will funny funny face in the road is Payday 2 gold and no one ever grow old you right and that's the way I be feeling in my heart you never get old you still got a lot of love and have a child's place in your heart you good to go peace out love you all UA-cam people peace yep yep and the Dandy lion he was cool to all of those cool from The Scarecrow to the 10-man even to the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of self still love his car to right now right now today that's why I try to keep my kids to watch stuff like that because it had models and meaning to it you all have a blessed day UA-cam people love you all peace out
This series was the weakest of the Canuck cartoons of the 1970s. Stupid stories, no learning, that annoying song too many times, and the characters are mean and screechy.
You can easily pick out Larry Mann (Tinman) prior to his Yukon Cornelius days. I used to watch these in the mid 60s. Awesome trip.

OMG this brings back memories I forgot I had! knew every word to the song
I grew up in the 70s but half the tv I watched was 60's syndication
I saw that show in Canada 🇨🇦
Same 🙂

Originally syndicated in 1961. These were the first two episodes that established the cast and the story line. And it lasted 110 episodes.
This episode followed the second one: ua-cam.com/video/IWqFB16brHo/v-deo.html

I watched this as a child in the 80's on CBC in New Brunswick. I think they stopped airing it shortly after that. Too bad.
steffsaint saw this in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. in Montreal they aired this in English.
Bernard Cowen was also the voice of J. Jonah Jameson in the 60's Spiderman animated series, Frier Tuck in Rocket Robin Hood and was also a regular on The Wayne & Shuster Show.
+Adrian Lackey I thought Paul Kligman voiced J. Jonah Jameson? I know he also voiced Dandy Lion on this show.

Adrian Lackey IMDB says it was Paul Kligman, who passed away in 1985.

I'm looking for episode 23 season 1 titled "the count"....don't suppose you have that one? I would love to see it again.
Supercub1974 there was an episode with a dog race.
Been trying to find that one too.
And I have been trying to find the episode where Rusty plays the trumpet and is called "Hot Lips" …. SOOOO funny. Wish I could find it...
@@kizpaws That was in The Flintstones. Hot Lips Hannigan. I think it was season 1 episode 4 or 5?
Saw Tales of the Wizard of Oz on my trips to Canada 🇨🇦.
Wonder why they made Dandy the first person Dorothy meets
cute, fun and hiliarous shorts, a episode is on amazon website!
only257 Dorothy along with the tin man, the lion, and the scarecrow look cute
The Tin Woodsman in the Oz books is named Nick Chopper. Rusty must be a nickname. The Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion didn't have names.
ty
Rusty the Tinman is where they get the idea for Bender in Futurama.
Ruby red rutabaga. Otherwise known as a beet. Wow, those people TRY to take EVERYTHING. WOW. you can't take it with you..TOO BAD.
Heh, that first part of the pilot is pretty much the only episode that does NOT close out with that music cue that ends each installment in the series. (Though it does play in the middle of the story, at 3:51 - 4:18.
Too bad the serial-style didn't stay long, though perhaps by this point we have had enough of that in our tee vee cartoons.
No doubt it was due to Rankin/Bass already using it in "The New Adventures of Pinocchio."
I saw this on my visit to Canada and aired in English.
He's the Witch, too!
I am pretty sure that in hell this theme song is played constantly ...
really dude your posting that everywhere.stay down there.

Irene Markoja saw this on my trips to Toronto Canada.
except they replace the need for a heart for a need for booze, cigars, and gambling
Were these the only two episodes with narration?
I want a heart you crazy 🤣 wizard
does anyone know of someone that are selling copies of this series?
Yep and you was right to because you know what that was the coolest cartoon I was saying my life back in them days man I love that cartoon The Wizard of Oz in a place called The Wizard of Oz they will funny funny face in the road is Payday 2 gold and no one ever grow old you right and that's the way I be feeling in my heart you never get old you still got a lot of love and have a child's place in your heart you good to go peace out love you all UA-cam people peace yep yep and the Dandy lion he was cool to all of those cool from The Scarecrow to the 10-man even to the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of self still love his car to right now right now today that's why I try to keep my kids to watch stuff like that because it had models and meaning to it you all have a blessed day UA-cam people love you all peace out
If you look closely at the back ground tree line at 4:40 you can see a munchkin that hanged himself in a tree :)
You idiot I don't see it it was only in the movie but they moved the body and restarted the scene
Is this the first cartoon or something? I don't remember a narrator. I'm glad they dropped it, it sucked. The series got stranger and stranger.
@Ifileet No
