Who?[edit]

Is this woman Show? wasnt it "common knowledge" that Bob Clampett did all of this Beanie and Cecil. how about citing where this came from.

I always heard sockpuppets were a big No-Do on wikipedia

oh no My3cents 20:17, 20 May 2006 (UTC) This page is simply factually incorrect. Apart from the creator, all of your facts are wrong. The show aired on television in the 1950's, for a start. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Golfie3 (talk • contribs) 05:51, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:DJ01.jpg[edit]

Image:DJ01.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Dishonest John[edit]

I think it might be more accurate to describe DJ's mode of dress as "classic anarchist" rather than like Simon Legree.Basun (talk) 01:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I remember watching this show as a kid and it was "DJ you Dirty John!" also I can't point you to a source but supposedly DJ also mean dee-jay and the producers were anti-rock and roll. So in the music section you should mention the show's song RAGG MOPP which is a parody of Rock Everybody by the Teen Queens. 4.249.63.66 (talk) 16:50, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above post's reference to the producers of the show hating rock-and-roll music may or may not be true, but the episode being mentioned is "D.J the D.J." (as in Dishonest John the Disc Jockey), and "Rag Mop" was actually a popular American novelty song of the period. Its most popular version was a Billboard #1 song in 1950 done by The Ames Brothers. Please see Wikipedia article on the song. Rich Rodriguez, Los Angeles, USA 67.58.151.216 (talk) 21:57, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Influence - AC/DC[edit]

The page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Deeds_Done_Dirt_Cheap_(song) cites this show's character Dishonest John as inspiration for the title of the song Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (as this is what his business card read, along with "Holidays, Sundays, and Special Rates." Of no one thinks this inappropriate for inclusion, I'm going to add it under the heading influence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.troughton (talk • contribs) 03:23, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guided Muscle[edit]

Wasn't there also a seperate brainy rabbit character, wore glasses and pulled his ear like a lever when he needed to think, that was chased by a wolf and when trapped would create his "guided muscle"? It was a rocket in the shape of a forearm with a fist. If it wasn't part of Beanie and Ceil, can someone help me remember where it came from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chiptobey (talk • contribs) 11:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "brainy rabbit character" you are referring to is Harecules, and was one of the additional, separate episodes on Beany and Cecil. Please refer to "Harecules" under Minor Characters. Rich Rodriguez, Los Angeles, USA 67.58.151.216 (talk) 21:43, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalized info on Cecil removed[edit]

There was a vandalized, first-person post inserted in the paragraph about Cecil disputing the information that his tail was never seen. It messed up the font surrounding the insertion. The vandalizing text was deleted and replaced with a clarification that Cecil's tail was indeed seen on-screen, but only occasionally, with a reference to the episode "Beany and the Jackstalk" as an example. Rich Rodriguez, Los Angeles, USA 67.58.151.216 (talk) 21:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No Bikini Atoll[edit]

Can any discussion of Beany and Cecil be complete without mentioning No Bikini Atoll and many of the other "terrible" puns on the show. It's somewhat amazing that Clampett got away with some of these, save for the fact that the network censors were probably busy with "adult" shows (and the kids weren't going to tell). (For me, it's what made the show worth watching.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danhicks (talk • contribs) 13:33, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Loved those references that I missed when I was little. Now I am wondering if Dinah Shore herself voiced the Singing Dinosaur? Can't really find a definitive answer out there at the moment.

Article issues[edit]

The article relies almost entirely on IMDB, which is not a reliable source. The tone is that of a personal memoir, and the "Characters" section consists almost entirely of fancruft. The article needs a rewrite to comply with Wikipedia standards and MOS. 12.233.147.42 (talk) 22:16, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
