Day Three

A lot of things made me happy yesterday but none more than running into the two gentlemen in the above photo. The one on the left is Marty Krofft and the one on the right is Sid Krofft. In other words: Sid and Marty Krofft, producers of some of the most memorable, inventive TV shows of all time. I had the good fortune to be part of their little "family" — and at times, it really felt like one — for many years. I wrote and occasionally produced (under their supervision) a number of Krofft Productions, some even starring people who were (a) not puppets and (b) spoke English. It was occasionally maddening, usually wonderful and always interesting. I'll write more about these two great gents soon.

Other things which made me happy were how well Quick Draw! and my first Cartoon Voices panel of the con went. The latter went so well, I barely had to do anything as host; just introduce Jeff Bergman, Grey Griffin, Josh Robert Thompson, Mick Wingert, Kaitlyn Robrock and Richard Horvitz, then stay (mostly) out of their way. Every moment of it was fun and for the rest of the day, people were stopping me to tell me how much the loved it when Jeff and Josh engaged in Dueling Morgan Freeman Impressions.

I was glad I didn't have to work hard on that panel because I sure did on the one before it. I'd tell you about it and other things that happened on Day Three except that right now, I have to run out and have Day Four. I'll catch you up when I can…and I'll fix any typos in the above.
