Color Me Intrigued
Things I Didn’t Know Dept.: in 1967, animation legends Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera created a pilot for an anthology series called The World-Color It Happy. Check out the opening credits below, and wonder how something with Woody Allen amongst its writers and a nifty theme song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David never caught on with TV execs. Strangely, Hanna’s autobiography doesn’t say a word about this project. Where’s the rest of it?
Well, apparently it does exist. Check second post down on this page:

Thanks, Patrick. They oughta upload the whole thing to YouTube — it would be easy with the separate segments and all!
This show sounds kinda like “Love American Style”.
Strange and lovely. No Bacharach biographies mention it, either. :( But I recognize the name of director Ezra Stone from one of my favorite 50′s comedies, “I Married Joan.”
That would be the same Ezra Stone who was the voice of Henry in “The Aldrich Family” on radio.
