When Teevee Commercials were Clever
I totally remember this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYunsiZflnI

In fact, I remember once, when Bullwinkle's grandma said at the end, "Also for Grandma," my sister Virginia said, "Also for Ginny."



Ah, nostalgia...

2. Neat. I love the voice actor who did the Grandma's voice.
What a wonderful, crackly tone she has.

3. I'm pretty sure that was June Foray
Who also did Rocky's voice and many others.

5. Yup — check the quote
"June Foray is not the female Mel Blanc, Mel Blanc was the male June Foray."

—no less than Chuck Jones



And she's 90 and still working.
