Author Topic: Ernest T. Bass is gone. Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 05-24-2005 04:54 PM                     Howard Morris passed away on Saturday. He was 85. As a long time viewer of the Andy Griffith Show, I will surely miss him.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-24-2005 06:24 PM                        Columbia House put out a video containing all of his episodes on TAGS (part of their Andy Griffith Show series). I'm sure you can find it on eBay. I agree, he was hilarious -- and also wrote and directed some episodes of that show (and others).  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-24-2005 06:58 PM                     It won't be just his performances in front of the camera, but work he did behind the camera as a Director and Writer and his voice. Some people may only remember him from the Andy Griffith Show. While others grew up with his voice in "The Flintstones", "Winnie the Pooh & the Blustery Day", Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" as Gopher, "The Jetsons", "Beetle Bailey", Magilla Gorilla", "Atom Ant", "Archie's" as Jughead Jones, "Cow and Chicken". His Talents go on and on. Ernest T. Bass Thanks [ 05-25-2005, 04:16 PM: Message edited by: Bill Gabel ]  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash. USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-25-2005 12:09 AM                     I remember him best as the voice of Beetle Bailey in the 1963 King Features Syndicate (Paramount Cartoon Studios) tv cartoons.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 05-25-2005 06:54 AM                     I have seen clips of him on early 1950's TV variety shows like "Your Show Of Shows." Being a good small-print reader told me that he did voices on so many Hanna-Barbera shows that at the time I dismissed as trivial, but looking back, I miss fondly. Up And Atom, Atom Ant!  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-26-2005 04:29 PM                       Oh, I missed this very sad news. Poor Howard, such a funny, funny guy. And what a great trick voice. He will be missed.  |  IP: Logged
