Spotted just after the midpoint of tonight's 9:00 PM (Eastern) episode of "Everybody Hates Chris" on UPN: Set up the old standby living room shot of the TV family quietly watching TV until they're ready for the next scene. But what's this they're watching? Nothing less than a vintage Terrytoons clip of Dimwit doing battle with Heckle & Jeckle! :D

Well, it passed quickly enough that I couldn't quite pin down which short was the source, but H&J clearly were dodging a pitchfork just as that blissful home viewing moment ended.

And The Geez feels very content in his Terrytoons fanaticism tonight indeed. (I'm counting this as a good omen, for sure.)

Also, in the end of "Kill Bill 2", the kid was watching "The Talking Magpies" on TV.

They were showing those cartoons on broadcast TV back in '82, weren't they? :)
