Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

phaecops-1 As a child of 8 years in Baltimore, Md I can distinctly remember watching Gabby on that small b&w screen warning us to "back away from your television areal sets" whereupon he would shoot a cannon full of Quaker puffed wheat or rice at the camera. Even to this day I feel an indescribable, unexplained aesthetic attraction to the Quaker Oats puffed rice cereal box, which may explain why the company has not changed their graphics is 60 years. My recollection of the show is that it was longer than 15 minutes. I recall him introducing a western movie. It could very well be that the local station used his show as a lead in then ran a western.It is said that Gabby had all his teeth pulled so as to more authenticate his character as a western sidekick.

blanche-2 Like the other posters, I, too, recall Gabby Hayes. I watched him on probably a 12" screen in the apartment my parents moved into after they were married, down the block from my grandmother's.People remember Gabby shooting the Puffed Wheat from a canon, but I don't. I do remember one thing very distinctly. One day Gabby had a full bowl of Puffed Wheat in his hands, and he stretched his arms forward and put the bowl out of camera range. When he brought the bowl back into camera range it was empty.Well, I can only guess how old I was, four maybe, and I was fascinated. I asked my mother what happened to the cereal. "The cameraman ate it," she told me.It's nice to look back at those simple days of youth.

krorie Gabby made the most of his fifteen minute time slot. He would begin my welcoming all the buckaroos to his show. Anytime he made a broad statement about a subject he would always say, "...in the United States AND Texas." That was before Alaska came into the Union. So Texas was the biggest and to Gabby the best state in the nation (even though George Hayes was actually born in New York). As I recall (I was about nine years old at the time) the fifteen minutes were mainly devoted to Gabby's tall tales of the Old West and commercials. The tall tales, Gabby's magnetic personality and his amazing gift of gab were very appealing to youngsters of all ages, most of whom had seen him in action on the big screen.

shiloh_3 I remember this show quite well from the early fifties. Gabby was exactly as he appeared in countless westerns with everyone from John Wayne to Randolph Scott and Roy Rogers. The most fun came every day at the end of the show when Gabby advertised his sponsor in a most unusual way. He faced a cannon toward the television camera and filled it with grains of "wheat." Then he warned us to "stand back away from your televisionary sets 'cause here comes Quaker Puffed Wheat....shot from guns!!!!!" The cannon went off and the contents blew towards us as the screen went black.I still miss him and remember him with warm fondness.
