'Spaw, as I recall, the Beverly Hillbillies were brought to us by "the fine old folks at Kellogg's, Kellogg's of Battle Creek." Nabisco is right for "Out of the blue of the Western Sky, comes....Sky King!" And one of your guesses was close, 'Spaw, but for the wrong show!

To keep this a musical thread, I guess I'll have to post the tune I wrote for this poem by Shel Silverstein--as soon as I turn the TV off!:

JIMMY JET AND HIS TV SET
(c)1974 Shel Silverstein

I'll tell you the story of Jimmy Jet--
And you know what I tell you is true.
He loved to watch his TV set
Almost as much as you.

He watched all day, he watched all night
Till he grew pale and lean
From "The Early Show" to "The Late Late Show"
And all the shows between.

He watched till his eyes were frozen wide
And his bottom grew into his chair.
And his chin turned into a tuning dial,
And antennae grew out of his hair.

And his brains turned into TV tubes,
And his face to a TV screen.
And two knobs saying "VERT." and "HORIZ."
Grew where his ears had been.

And he grew a plug that looked like a tail
So we plugged in little Jim.
And now instead of him watching TV
We all sit around and watch him.

Aloha,
Mark
