Same here. I always liked his sense of humor and he’s got the Pennsylvania accent, which makes it funnier in my opinion. His son, George O’Hanlon Jr. was in M.A.S.H. which is a pretty fun fact

Imagine this film in the cartoon counterpart as George & Jane (Jetson)!

Jane Jetson was voiced by Penny Singleton of the Blondie and Dagwood movies

What's with the candelabra you ask? In 1956, Liberace was still the hottest thing in TV since the cathode ray tube. Google him. I dare ya. 😄
