This is a blog dedicated to the greatest time of our childhood: Saturday mornings. The television programs you watched, the memories attached to them, and maybe introducing you to something you didn't realize existed. Updated every weekend.

SATURDAY MORNING MASTERS: PAT CARROLL
PAT CARROLL
(May 5, 1927-July 30, 2022)
Notable Roles: Bunny Halper, Rita Simon, Pearl Markowitz, Ms. Biddy McBrain, Mrs. Hope
Stinson, Hazel, Katrina Stoneheart, Grandma Arbuckle, Queen Hippolyta, Gussie
Holt, Paula P. Casso, Ursula, Morgana, Old Lady Crowley
Patricia Ann Carroll’s career began in 1947 when
she landed the role of Lorelei Crawford in the film Hometown Girl. She made her television debut in 1952 on The Red Buttons Show followed by her Broadway debut in 1955 in Catch
a Star!; the latter of
which landed her a Tony Award
nomination. Along with appearing on a number of variety and game shows from the
1950s through the 1970s, she had a regular stint on the sitcom Make
Room for Daddy as Bunny Halper,
Getting Together as Rita Simon, Pearl Markowitz on Busting Loose, Mrs. Hope Stinson on the finale season of Too Close For Comfort and Gussie Holt on She’s the Sheriff; all while still appearing on stage and in film. In
1963, Carroll sued Hanna-Barbera
for breach
of contract after she was cast as Jane Jetson in The
Jetsons and was
replaced after only recording a single episode of the 24 that were guaranteed.
Her voice acting debut instead game in 1966 as she provided some in The Super 6. In the late 1980s she returned to voice acting as teacher
Ms. Biddy McBrain in Galaxy
High School, dog Hazel in Foofur, and antagonistic dog pound owner Katrina Stoneheart
in Pound
Puppies. She also played
the feisty grandmother of Jon Arbuckle (Thom Huge) in two Garfield
holiday specials. She landed the role of sea witch
Ursula in Disney’s The Little Mermaid; a role she would continue to inhabit in the
majority of the character’s English-language appearances until 2020 (excluding
live-action adaptations in Once Upon a Time, Descendants 2 and The Little Mermaid Live!). Carroll died of pneumonia in 2022 at the age of
95.

SATURDAY MORNING MASTERS: GARY OWENS
GARY OWENS
(May 10, 1934-February 12, 2015)
Born Gary
Bernard Altman, Owens was
notable for his baritone speaking voice and deadpan comedic delivery that made
him an ideal narrator and announcer for various projects—particularly of the
humorous kind. He began his career as a news reporter on radio station KORN in 1952 in Mitchell,
South Dakota, and was
promoted to news director two years later. In 1956 he left to be a newscaster
at KMA in Shenandoah, Iowa, before becoming a disc jockey at KOIL in Omaha, Nebraska. After bouncing around a few other stations, he finally ended up in
California in 1959. He began a two-decade tenure at 710 KMCP (now KSPN
AM) where he displayed his surrealistic humor and tendency
for puns, as well as inventing nonsense words and doing amusing radio
promotions. He also developed several alter-egos: gruff old man earl C. Festoon
and his wife Phoebe, stuffy businessman Endocrine J. Sternwallow, goofy good
ol’ boy Merle Clyde Gumpf, and crochety old Mergenthaler Waisleywillow. In 1961
he started transitioning into film and television by providing the uncredited
prologue narration for The
Naked Witch (although it wasn’t released until 1964). In 1965, he made a couple of appearances on McHale’s
Navy and voiced the titular character in the animated Roger
Ramjet.
His most well-known role came in 1968 as the
announcer for the sketch comedy series Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, where he established his trademark routine of holding his hand on his
ear as he spoke into the microphone. Owens had a long association with Hanna-Barbera
Productions, providing
either opening narrations or episode narrations for various shows like The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, Yogi’s Space Race and Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, as well as various roles including the heroes Space Ghost in Space Ghost and Blue Falcon in Dynomutt, Dog Wonder and supporting antagonist Commander Ulysses Feral
in SWAT Kats. Additionally, he voiced various cartoon
characters on Sesame
Street, the characters of Powdered
Toast Man in The Ren & Stimpy Show and Captain Squash in Bobby’s
World, and was even one of the prospective
voices for Inspector Gadget in one of the pilot episodes. In 2004, Owens
co-wrote the book How to Make a Million Dollars with
Your Voice (Or Lose Your Tonsils Trying)
with Jeff Lenburg,
an anecdote-laden guide on how to get into voice acting. In his final years,
Owens served as the promotional announcing voice for retro network Antenna TV until his death in 2015 due to complications from
his life-long bout with Type 1 diabetes.
