T.V. OF TOMORROW - Tex Avery (1953)

"The Future is Now, The Future is Here!"

Welcome to the "T.V. Of Tomorrow," Dungeon style!

Well, there's a lot of this that is spot on, and there is also a lot that just isn't relevant anymore!

Here's a sleepy little burg pre-TV, and after the introduction of the television!

TV antennas were quite the plague at one time! Cable TV fixed that problem in most areas of the country!

Science hasn't quite figured out how to do this yet, but I'm sure they're working on it!

Now this scene where absolutely all activities were based around the TV is not that far fetched!

At first TV's were too complicated with too many dials....

So they fixed that by streamlining it down to only one dial!

Now, only the one dial is overly complicated!

Here's a TV made for people who squint!

The televisions of the future were expected to be much more multi-functional!

The TV cigarette lighter! I'm sure Samsung is working on this one!

This television came with a complete 24/7 hour warranty!

If you wanted to watch one of those stations that was more than 30 miles away, you had to come up with some tricky innovations !

This virtual concept is really not that far out of touch with what I've seen in some casinos today!

Some things have not changed! No matter how many channels you have, it's all the same!

Here's a TV built specifically for peeping Toms!

Tex was a little perverted for sure!

Again, this is not that far removed from modern online gambling!

"T.V. Of Tomorrow" is another cartoon you can find for free on the Internet Archive!

Now that's one thing they hadn't figured out back in 1953!

GNAW Food Of The Gods II / Canadian Entertainment Investors Number One and Company Limited Partnership - 1989

Today we gots this kinda follow up to Bert Gordon's FOOD OF THE GODS from 1976, it's a Canadian production with a $3,500,000 budget. This time, a growth hormone experiment goes awry when giant man-eating rats escape from the lab, wreaking havoc on an unsuspecting school campus.

I've got a little sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button over by our big old mouse hole, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's a sample of... GNAW!

Two shots of evil sadist Professor Delhurst first being confronted by PETA members and then working away torturing animals in his lab with the help of his willing assistant. Even the idea of abusing animals makes our blood boil here at The Dungeon, maybe that's why we're not real keen on eff'ed up eighties flicks.

Well, it isn't long before the oversized rats escape from the lab and go on a killing spree.

It's believed that the rats escaped into the sewer system and their worries prove correct!

I put in a purchase order for one of these very cool little motorized rides for The Dungeon but Eegah!! said.. 'NO!'

Dumb ass Professor Delhurst is excited to get his hands on this new growth hormone but he gets some in a cut on his thumb! One of my favorite Benny Hill jokes goes like this... Q - What's the difference between a vitamin and a hormone?.. A - You can't make a vitamin!

Then, he glances into a mirror only to see his inner evilness starting to show through!

Things much worse than his hair piece just falling off start occurring to the jerk face.

Nice colorful close up of the professor melting away!

The good guys enter the lab and have to walk around the big gooey mess on the floor.

The cops show up with their rifles to slaughter the blood thirsty beasts on the campus.

You'll have to watch the movie to figure out this WTF?!! ending... We're back tomorrow when Eegah!! has another little treat for y'all.

CAR OF TOMORROW - Tex Avery (1951)

Welcome to the future.....1951 style!

There's a big automobile show going on to showcase all the new styles of cars, and it's all brought to you by Mr. Tex Avery!

If you don't know if this car is coming or going, it's because it is actually heading towards you!

Here's a bright idea how to seat a lot more passengers!

These seats might just be a little too plush!

THIS is just down right weird!

This is the posterior of the same vehicle!

Need a little shade?

This seal beam headlight gag was so lame they nixed it themselves!

This car is so modern, it doesn't even use gas!

Here's one of the first cars with the engine in the rear!

This design wins my award for the strangest of them all!

A car with a hole cut in the roof just in case you own a giraffe!

Let's just hope that's her index finger!

Here's how they deal with pesky pedestrians in the future!

This car has a lot of horse power!

This one was called the hill climber!

Cars were pretty reasonably priced back in 1951!

Well, as least as long as you didn't have too many add-on accessories!
I'll be back on Saturday with more cartoon tales of the future! Until then, drive safe!!
