Oh yes, the music, which had haunted the deep recesses of my youthful mind for years until I discovered an old set of stock music/effects Valentino record library at the TV station I worked at. By sampling perhaps over 100 78 RPM discs I found most of the music cues and dubbed it to 1/4 inch for my listening pleasure. I am 55 years old and I remember well Earlybird Cartoons on WABC TV hannel 7 in NYC. They were often the first thing on TV in the morning that a 5 year old would want to watch.

I watched these cartoons before going to school in Brooklyn, NY. Brings back so amny memories, especially the music. Wish I could go back in time.

I remember watching these when I was a kid

I love this music from the 1950s

my mother grew up with this, and i am so glad she showed this to me. classic cartoons are wonderful.

I'm a huge fan of early animation, and I've always loved Farmer Gray cartoons.

I love Farmer Gray, and ALL silent animation of that time. It's simplicity and innocence was very appealing. And it brings back wonderful memories of early Saturday viewing.

The Chalistenics music is "There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" , a song about the 1871 Great Chicago Fire; it was very popular as a march during the Spanish American War...

@kdegru Welcome to the club--The Earlybird Cartoons on Channel 7 in NYC were a sweet part of my childhood. I am somewhat over 21 myself, but I won't say how much. LOL. If you want this on DVD, raise your hand. Happy New Year.

FANTASTIC POSTING! These cartoons were ABSOLUTELY the best in entertainment back in the '50s--when TV was just getting a run at everything. These cartoons showed the great imagination and skill sets of the producers and anyone else involved. Loved also the cartoons that had popular songs of past years with a story attached. The GREATEST!! Thanks!

i was a child when i usad to watch those cartoons and seeing them again brings back good memories.

this is great stuff

My brother and I watched Modern Farmer 'cos were already gearheads while still in primary grades. We watched the Paul Terry cartoons 'cos (I think) they came on right after MF on NBC-TV in NY. What a lesson in music they were- corny 50s stock music, along with Bizet, Mendelssohn, and Count Basie. They were probably recorded overseas so the producers wouldn't have to pay royalties for any of the music they used, which was SOP back then. But I still remember them 50 years later!

I would wake up early to watch TV. Today they might label that as an addiction. Anyway while waiting for Early Bird Cartoons on WABC, Ch 7, I would watch the Modern Farmer (because it was the fist thing on the air WNBC Ch 4 I think) and today such terms as milky dust spores still reside in my memory. I am surprised I did not go into farming as a result.

We didnt need any voices with these cartoons,even at 4 or 5 years old we knew what was going on. I was there too! It had to be mid to late 1950's. Its funny all of us from those years all watched these and they got stuck in our memories,but when you bring it up,most people think your nuts.Now i have proof!

Just watching this again after seeing it 4 years ago, right here. Aah the memories.

So sweet and funny.

After almost 50 years I look it better that ever; keep it with this non Disney feeling !!

Nice to see this again thank you

Good memories of my childhood

This might actually be the Fable "Scrambled Eggs," directed by Frank Moser. For whatever reason, Commonwealth's sound release division loved to relabel the titles and swap titles with other Fables. For instance, "In The Bag" became "The Picnic," and "Venus and the Cat" became "All In A Day."

Is gratifying to see the kind of humor in cartoons of the 1920s, so fresh and naive. My older brother tolds me about these cartoons he saw in his childhood on TV (by the way, we´re peruvians. In Peruvian TV the 1960s were some silent cartoons and Chaplin shorts with this backgraound music). Recalling the farmer's shorts he remembered, other films were The Wind Jammers, The Traveling Salesman, She's in Again or Up in the Air. Have any of these shorts?

The music video for take me for a ride by Nikola vujcic with rosantique, ladies and gentlemen

I was being a little facetious because everyone else remembers it from childhood, but although I vividly remember Farmer Alfalfa from the Sheriff John Show in the 50s in LA, whenever I see one I never have ANY memory of it. Can't understand it. Hence rhapsodizing about memories a mere 4 years ago. At 1st I thought this was a look back at Metropolis and a look forward to Orwell but actually it precedes Metropolis. Loved that amazing radio. And yet the breakfast fixing is pure US cartooning.

Nice little film. Animation wasn't outrageous, surreal, or overthetop but it fit the intimacy of the well developed story. And boy is my memory of these old Farmer A films way off.

Bem explorador o patrão deles eh eh eh . ..😁😁😁

Early Bird Cartoons! Yahoo!. And no, it is not an addiction to enjoy classic cartoons. If you will take those over the ersatz entertainment infiltrating the airwaves today, raise your hand. Here's wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving.

7:35-7:44 was also used in the 1960 "demo reel" for "THE FLINTSTONES" (Barney fires the arrow, it goes wild, finally deflating Fred's inner tube in the pool).

Thnx

I remember these on Saturday morning. Then they were banned for violence. Imagine by today's bloody video game standards, these were labeled. too violent.

@puck30 Modern Farmer?--You said two of the most magic words that were part of my growing up years. (Uh-uh, don't figure out my age, LOLOLOLOL). Here's hoping you have a good summer.

It certainly is! Try looking for "The Flintstones Pilot Episode", 'Scott'....

@kdegru I remember 'Modern Farmer' I think back on it now and ask myself how many farms could there have been in the five boros?

Mister Scott99. Did you ever get near a copy of the Thomas J. Valentino music library circa mid 1950's. As I understand it the library was updated periodically and therefore only that period would assure you of finding the music cues used by Commonwealth in producing the Paul Terry sound tracks. Did those sound tracks lean heavily towards the public domain light classics or were there more unique items such as that from a music house like Valentino that you have to pay use rights to get?

More like the sixties, in the el club de serruchito, "El Tio Manolo"

Did you say 'Modern Farmer"? Jehosaphat! You are probably older than I am. I remember The Modern Farmer, followed by The Paul Terry Cartoons. New York City is my home. Don't figure out my age, LOLOLOLOL, but have a Happy Thanksgiving.

FUN FACT: It was his resistance to showing these "Farmer Grey" cartoons, which he thought insipid and unfunny, that got young Gene London kicked off his first gig hosting a kid's TV show -- "Tinker's Workshop" -- in early-'50s New York. He eventually made his way to Philly to helm the famous Gene London Show, which lasted 14 years.

is there a way to download this cartoons, I have been looking for them for years.

재밌다 ㅋㅋㅋ

sad that there s no way back to trace back the origins of these cartoons and it s music
