– – It’s not well known that Batman creator Bob Kane also created a comic parody called Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse. Originally run from 1960 to 1962, the series almost anticipated the campy extremes of the later-appearing live action Batman TV series. The ‘toons averaged five minutes in length, and 130 were produced, intended for use as airtime filler to accommodate a movie or another feature which didn’t quite fill a time slot.
Parallels to the Batman series were numerous, with “Courageous Cat” and “Minute Mouse” anthropomorphic animal superheroes who lived in the “Cat Cave,” were summoned by a “Cat Signal,” and drove a sleekly-feline “Cat Mobile” which could convert to a plane or boat. The villains were likewise furry, with a frog a recurring archenemy.
The theme music for the show was fashioned after the memorable theme for Peter Gunn! All in all, Courageous Cat was campy fun decently done…

– – Some people regard this commercial as hilarious while others regard it as an ad full of stereotypes and prejudice. It’s DirecTV’s “Don’t Have A Grandson With A Dog Collar” ad which like others for the same company takes us through 
– – A series of DirecTV commercials shows us the consequences of making bad decisions in a chain of events fashion reminiscent of Laura Numeroff’s 1985 children’s classic, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. 
– – Maxwell the Pig seems to be getting into extreme sports, and continues to be hamming it up and having the time of his life! 
– – With Stride gum packing long-lasting flavor, management has to take strong measures to get consumers to spit out their gum wad, take a new chew, and so grease the economic wheels. They have devised ingenious ways of doing just that; past commercials have depicted rams butting customers, wrestlers squeezing the gum
