The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (100)

Another page from the ACME Catalog --


Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1960 Chuck Jones directed, Hopalong Casualty:



Several networks airing this cartoon cuts a scene where Wile E. gets tangled on a cactus with dynamite. The cut makes it seem that Wile E. threw the dynamite and it exploded.


Christmas (and Festivus, for that matter) is nigh (most of the staff of ACME have begun their serious holiday drinking; once again, we're not insane,) and you may be running around doing your last minute holiday shopping. Why not take a breather and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching a marathon of Christmas themed episodes. So absolutely, put on your pajamas, find a comfortable spot on the couch and watch these holiday episodes with your best friend - your TV.

Christmas Eve at the Booby Hatch   Laverne and Shirley-



The actor Laverne is shamelessly flirting with is actually David Duclon, the writer of the episode.


Santa Comes to Visit and Stays and Stays   Bewitched! -



Santa Claus is played by Ronald Long--a frequent guest star on Bewitched!


Mister Magoos Christmas Carol -



There is a popular rumor that the song People was written for -- and rejected by -- this project. It's not true. The composer Jule Styne and lyricist Bob Merrill were working on the song for the Broadway musical Funny Girl at the same time that they were writing this score. The producers of this project heard them playing it, and were thrilled, until they learned that it wasn't for them. Obviously, it went on to become a hit for the star of Funny Girl, Barbra Streisand.


Miracle On Third Or Fourth Street   Frasier -



Even though Bonnie Weems has her picture up on the wall of the station for the majority of the series' 11 season run, this is the only time actress Kathryn Danielle has a speaking role and credit in Frasier.


Christmas Special   30 Rock -



The man playing the piano during the Christmas special, shown while Jenna is singing, is musician/producer Jeff Richmond, husband of Tina Fey.


Shhh - for an extra added treat, here's a short Puddles Pity Party concert at Paste Studio NYC from this past November



And finally what would Christmas be without our favorite 7 foot tall clown singing Christmas songs -



The staff and management of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to wish you and yours the happiest and warmest of holiday seasons.

Remember, the best holidays are those spend with the ones we love. We hope we've een able to a a part of yours.




Demand Euphoria!
