Ron and Cheryl Part 14: Cartoons and TV

Ron has done an amazing amount of Television. You wouldn’t know what he’s done but it’s endless starting in the fifties. Here he sings on the Winky Dink song. I’m told he wrote a small piece of it.

He wrote the theme song for Huckleberry Hound and came up with the entire premise for the show and wrote all the episodes…

Ron came up with the concept for the Flintstones, the theme song and wrote most of the episodes, the earlier ones primarily. Flintstones has to be one of the most beloved and I’ll say nourishing cartoons of all time. I can’t saw exactly why it’s nourishing, I think it fills you up, good family themes, lots of color, love between characters, music, movement. Has to be on the top ten list of greatest cartoons of all time and I’m going to look it up.

Number 6 on this list

Thinking about dieting I have had stuck in my head…

Ron strikes again!!! Goink Goink Goink!!! The episode still makes me hungry for a brontoburger.

Ron did many episodes of the Odd Couple including one previously mentioned about Felix falling in love with a football player’s wife.

 

 

Ron and Cheryl Part 13: More on Game of Thrones

We saw earlier that Stannis Baratheon was played by Ron Howard.

Stannis Baratheon aka Stephen Dillane aka Ron Howard

Ron also had a cameo after Stannis/Ron dies in the following episode at a camp fireside. He’s just sitting there but it’s Ron looking very Ron Howard like.

He’s another prominent character which is Bronn. I realized that after seeing Jason Statham aka Ron Howard in Fate of the Furious yesterday. He’s also quite Ron Scheiderish who is also Ron.

Bronn aka Jerome Flynn aka Ron Howard

Just to help in confirmation of Bronn as Howard. Bronn was in a band in England…

Ron and Cheryl Part 12: More on Milk

I can’t find the jingle for the milk campaign that Ron Howard did before the “Got Milk” campaign.

The Jingle went like this…sing along if you know the words…

“There’s a new you coming ever day…ever day…Theres a new you coming every day…

That’ the gist of it…

Over Time, Buddhism and Science Agree

Understanding the impermanence of everything—including ourselves.

Every few days we essentially recycle ourselves, reminiscent of an old advertising jingle for milk, “There’s a new you coming every day!”

Ron and Cheryl Part 11: The Fate of the Furious

I saw “The Fate of the Furious” yesterday. I’m a huge fan of the “Fast and Furious” series; they never lets you down, always first class entertainment. It was no different for this one.  Great characters, comedy and action, action, action. Fast cars, even faster women and a cute baby highlighted this one.

The Fate of the Furious: all the good guys facing forward…yummy bad girls look to the right!!

When a mysterious woman (the ever yummy Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of terrorism and a betrayal of those closest to him, the crew face trials that will test them as never before.

Fate of the Furious: Ultimate chase scene in this film with a submarine after the good guys!

This was a terrific chase scene, possibly now my favorite with this one moving to second place, from Die Hard 4; also reminiscent of the scene in True Lies with Arnold:

Now down to the meat and taters since the blog is about Ron and Cheryl being geniuses and all. We’ll look at this guy:

Jason Statham star of the Transporter series

Jason Statham aka Ron Howard best known for “The Transporter” ,

Jason Statham is Ron Howard. Ron is an accomplished martial artist and in this series Jason Statham is as well. If you watch Jason in action you can see it’s Ron from wide shots. It captures his look and shape of his head.

Here’s our bad girl in this film Charlize Theron doing a Dior ad
Here Charlize does a public service ad on how to kidnap  terrified little black kids.

As part of her public service video Charlize explained how she got through airport security with her recently kidnapped terrified black child by explaining she was actually sisters with Rhianna and there was some kind of genetic quirk going on.

Charlize decided to do the public service ad after her dad screwed things up at the Elian Gonzalez kidnapping

 

 

Passover at the Howard Ranch…

Last week I looked in on the Passover celebration at the Howard Ranch. I couldn’t stay too long but it appeared to be presided over by a long bearded Rabbi and everyone was enjoying themselves. How can you not? It’s Hollywood!! Everyone’s been to Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, probably Passover Seders and other Jewish rituals and ceremonies. At Passover the food is amazing and there is an obligation to drink!!! Generally 4 glasses of wine but that never stopped my family from going to a fifth or sixth or pulling out a single malt. It was a beautiful thing!!
