But this video is not just about the show, it's also about the context of the time, the early 90's, when Fox and Disney, two of the biggest entertainment companies were in a fierce rivalry and in the middle of that, Fox Kids Network and Ducktales.
We'll dive into the behind-the-scenes drama of how Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates came to be, including the Fox-Disney conflict of the early 1990s and how it shaped the show.

It is worth saying, Disney returned a grown and not so nice development Peter Pan to the big screen in the live action/cgi animated Rescue Ranger vehicle featuring Chip and Dales story furthered as well.
This episode was more exciting than any peter pan movie or show,
Other than Disney movie in the 50s being based on a play ,
I had no idea
Finally. After being ignored for decades, somebody talks about this classic series! I was in love with this show as a kid and was so disappointed Fox Kids never continued it. Also Tim Curry as Hook was way too epic.
Tim Curry for as the every eloquent Hook for the win!
As soon as this came up in my recommendations I screamed way too loudly.
@@Juicelee777ssj I had an inner squee. I know this feeling well.
I hated this show as a kid 😂 I remember every time it came on I was like uh Disney rip off 😂
its honestly so well designed and animated
We were a lucky generation of hungry little sharks. During that era, Tim Curry voiced characters on so many animated shows that he was always on somewhere: Pirates of Dark Water, Mighty Max, Peter Pan and the Pirates, C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa, and Gargoyles to name a few.
I love Tim and his voice and performance lends himself to the villain magnificently. Though it's almost a shame the only non-villain role he had in cartoons at the time was the simply smashing Nigel Thornberry.
I also remember Tim Curry as Prince Lotor from Voltron: The Third Dimension. In hindsight it was funny hearing him reign in his own hamminess during that mirror/alternate universe episode (?) as a Prince Lotor who had _no_ interest in Allura because Haggar the Witch was hot (or something). "I feel so very _angry,"_ he said calmly.
He also made a guest appearance on Freakazoid. So damn good.
He was also in Tailspin!
Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad as Kilokahn.
Captain Hook: If Peter Pan were here, I'd set anchor in his heart." Tim Curry as Captain Hook is the main reason I kept watching this show on Saturday mornings
Tim Curry seemed to alternately seem like he had too many job offers and too few. Or maybe he wasn’t aware you could turn down offers.
Also he had the looks to match the voice. He looked like he would physically beat the crap out of any sailors that defied him. Added with Tim Curry's voice, it's my favorite interpretation of Captain James Hook.
S/O to Josh Keaton And Jason Marsden as well!!!
Wished Tim could still voice act. Two of my favorite characters that he did was Slaygar ("Red Wall"(1999)) and Ben Ravenscroft ("Scooby-Doo & Witch's Ghost" (2002)).
Tim Curry objectively gave one of the greatest portrayals of an animated character in any show, ever.
Point of interest: The original public domain J.M. Barrie text clearly states "He has an iron hook instead of a right hand." It was Disney who put the hook on the Captain's left hand.
Anytime you see a Peter Pan adaptation, look for which hand the hook is on.
I'm guessing that the live action reference for Disney's Captain Hook, Hans Conried, was right-handed.
@@Kamdrimar I love all the old black and white Disney photos of voice actors in full theatrical costumes. Mr. Conried probably being the best of them all.
Which kind of missed the point, it's the reason Hook is so clumsy with it, it's on his dominant hand.
I just thought of Once Upon a Time's Hook and tried searching for his images. I can't recall where his hook was. After a few clicks, lo and behold, I saw that the hook is in his left hand. Disney is really strict in implementing it in all of its properties.
The movie "Hook" took notes from Disney it seems, since the hook was on the left there. Probably easier for the swordfighting Hoffman had to do in the film.
The opening theme for this cartoon is epic. I remember always waking up just after the show had aired.
Fans of this show should make sure to give a big shout out to writer Peter Lawrence (Thundercats) who helmed it and put a lot more effort into the writing and dialogue than these shows normally got. After Peter Pan he went on to head up The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest which also managed to have giant cost overruns and delays.
This was actually a favorite of mine. Giving the lost boys actual names and identities was one of my favorite things about it.
I was 8 when it came out. I had a huge crush on Nib.
The pirates too. It was pretty uncommon for the bad guy cronies to be actual characters with qualities and flaws. Billy was also one of the first black characters I’d seen in a show. It was really neat for me to see someone who looked like me on tv
Captain Hook's speech has to be one of the best written and performed speeches by any character, villain or otherwise.
"There are dozens of us!"
If there are dozens, I am one of them. If there is only one, it is me. If there are none, it means I'm dead. I was deeply and immediately in love with this show from the moment it first aired. Not being able to own it on physical media has been a wound in my heart for 30+ years.
Tim Curry was the ONLY reason I watched this cartoon. Plus, now I know why all the episodes looked so different. Nice trip down memory lane🙂👍
Tim Curry is one of the greatest hams of our time, play Brütal legend to see another great performance of his
@@thejman5683 or or play Toonstruck for a similar awesome villain ;)
This essay unlocked the WILDEST buried core memory, holy crap!!!!!
This show was AWESOME!
I especially loved the way Captain Hook would call Peter Pan, "BOY!'
It was hilarious!
No way, this only had 1 season? This show was incredible. Also, I love this channel. This is quality. The edits. OH man.
Yeaaah but it was an OG Season like, 52 full episodes being the standard iirc
@@TECH097
I’m legitimately shocked they got 66 episodes out the door.
Fox Kids had some truly great shows but by the end of the decade (and even well before that, when Disney bought Fox kids and Saban, and all that) Fox was relying far too much on anime. Original programming was few and far between by that point.
At the same time, this was during that era where "a season for a cartoon" could mean 52 to 65 episodes
I was surprised to hear that as well!
Fables, the DC/Vertigo comic that ran for 150 issues, originally was going to use Peter Pan as "The Adversary" that caused all the fairytale denizens to escape to the real world. However, due to the rights being held by the British hospital as mentioned in the video, the writer Bill Willingham had to change The Adversary to someone else (I am keeping their ID unknown as to not spoil it - go out and read Fables ASAP)
Double however, now that said rights are due to lapse, Willingham is now producing an additional 12 issues that are showing Peter and Tink as the true masterminds behind The Adversary. The 7th issue dropped this week, fyi
You know how to make the Diller/Eisner feud sound more mythic and dramatic than it probably was, Dan.
I LOVED this cartoon. I have wanted to get a copy of it on DVD for as long as DVD has existed. This is one of the great kids animated shows that deserves an official release.
This was my introduction to Peter Pan and Fox Kids! I watch Peter Pan and the Pirates before I even watch the Disney version Peter Pan! The animation is really good, it’s made by TMS for the episodes, one of the best anime and overseas studios. Too bad there’s no official DVD nor streaming release of the series in America for this cartoon.
I absolutely adore this show. I'm sad to think that it'll probably never get an official release.
It's my favorite adaptation/incarnation of the Peter Pan property.
The fact that it's also a giant middle finger to the Disney corporation makes it even better.
I hope I can one day track down a really decent quality fan made bootleg DVD or something.
it did get a few official VHS and DVD releases overseas in Europe, but it'll probably never get one in the USA cause of Disney now owning FOX and not wanting to put out a different take on characters they've made films about.
@@jadedheartsz I hate those Disney executives ruining everything and wish they give Fox back to the real owners
I always pinned Fox's Pan down with certain early WildBrain (as CINAR at the time) cartoon, called Ivanhoe: The King's Knight.
They have this classical fantasy style writing, that make them feel weighty and real despite being very kid-oriented. They feel honest, kinda the opposite of formulas like monster of the week, where the action just kinda blends into this mindless set piece. Anything Disney ever did remotely like that was the Aladdin TV cartoon. it's a delicate balance to maintain because it achieves that feeling of high stakes without requiring the commitment to be keenly aware of the continuity, it can be episodic without just feeling like whatever, like filler.
You can watch the whole series on here
i think i have a tv rip of the entire series on a hardrive somewhere..... i used to love this show as a kid.
Tim Curry and all his promos, commercials, radio plays, narration (he reads the novelization of Home Alone 2), outtakes, singing on stage, and all his no small parts. We love you Tim Curry!
Ha2 g fucking g.
Guess everyone needs money.
Such fond memories of this show. My two favorite moments (both Hook-related of course): 1) Hook stands defiant while cannonballs rip up the deck on either side of him. His crew cowers and takes cover, but he doesn't even flinch, and 2) when Peter starts growing up and Tinkerbell starts dying because he stops believing, she encounters Hook and starts recovering, because he believes she is real because he clearly sees her and trusts his own senses. Tim Curry is the best!
That episode where Peter Pan grows up will always stand out in my mind.
Just realised that Hook's: "You do exist because I can see you clearly, so I do believe in you" is Aristoteles' teachings at its finest and it does make sense because Hook liked to read him a lot.
Man, I should have watched this show. It sounds rad!
Greatest 2 part episodes of the series were dark as fluck. Peter wanted to end his long running game with Hook, which in his terminology, meant to kill him. Hook was fighting Pan and the Lost Boys until they caught him in a bamboo spear death trap. But Hook told Peter that even if he dies, he's lived a full life and has no regrets, unlike Peter, who'll never know what its like to truly live and experience life the way Hook has, and will always forever be a boy. Hooks words hit Peter hard, causing him to stop caring about having adventures, fun, and neverland. This caused him to start aging rapidly, which caused Neverland to start vanishing, the climax came with Peter as an old man floating in a void of emptyness, Tinkerbell saw him and shed a tear that fell on his face, which restored Peter and brought Neverland back.
Disney in the 80s and 90s. "We own everything. Bow to us. Bow, I say!" Everyone laughs at them. Disney in the 2020s: "We now own everything! Bow, foolish mortals!" Everyone bows immediately.
I'm not even looking at Disney in the 2020's, let alone bow, they are disgusting.
I ended up owning like six Peter Pan toys for this series because I kept losing either his dagger or cape and would get my mom to buy me a new one
I love the running joke with Boba Fett.
I'm so glad you're talking about this ridiculously rare gem. Fox Peter Pan and the Pirates was a bold, dark, and mysterious interpretation of Peter Pan. It's been one of my favourite cartoons since I saw it when I was 10. Unlike the iconic Disney film this cartoon gave Peter a surprising level of depth, and occasionally featured some outstanding animation. The islands Peter and his crew lived on were downright deadly in this show, and although the tone still had to have balance for kids some episodes and performances by Tim Curry were haunting. The show was at times on par with Batman TAS, but is almost forgotten today.
This is STILL my favorite version of Peter Pan and was my introduction to the amazing Tim Curry. The writing was eloquent and the characters were distinct individuals and memorable. I was even able to play the NES game. I am soooo glad this wonderful show is getting some shine.
Stumbled upon this when I was in high school, loved it, and then it disappeared completely, leaving to wonder for years if I'd dreamed it all.
While it's a shame it'll probably never get a DVD release, it's comforting to know other people remember and enjoyed it.
This show was great. The intro theme is amazing! I still remember the story where Peter grew up.... and Neverland started to disappear.
I remember this series getting surprisingly dark. if there's one thing that really differentiated this version of the character over Disney was that Hook's pirate crew was actually menacing. Hans Conried's take on the character was Disney's typical goofy, lovable villain, and I am a huge fan, but I remember being almost afraid of Tim Curry's Hook as a kid. There was weight behind his threats, and those pirates looked like they would be all too happy to kill those children. And damn if the character design wasn't epic in itself. Must've been a weekday's worth of a single season, because I remember this series having a lot of episodes, at least compared to its weekend counterparts at the time. That said, Saban also dubbed a Peter Pan anime, but I don't recall it ever airing in the US. Maybe episodes were released on VHS in a movie format. They did have a Peter Pan episode of another dubbed anime they called "Funky Fables." I think that was released on VHS. I never actually watched it, but I do remember the VHS packaging trying to be hip with a large "Look out, Bart Simpson" blurb on the back.
Peter Pan and the Pirates was so underrated back then, Tim Curry as Hook had me watching it on the daily right until it's cancellation, a pity that it was never more than that one season, really could've and should've been more.
This was my absolute favorite interpretation of Peter Pan as a young teen. It was taken from us too soon and for stupid reasons of corporate greed from Disney and Catsenburry (whatever, I can't spell) who thought they owned the work.
ironically, Jeffrey Katzenberg (I had to check, but the spelling was right LOL) was later kicked out of Disney and filled with spite and thirst for vengeance, went on to co-found Dreamworks with Spielberg... to become the main rival to Disney's chokehold on animated cinema up until recently
@@Superlad945 '90. Fall 1990. I should know. I was in 2nd Grade.
@@Superlad945 It would air Weekday Afternoons on Fox Kids during the Fall of 1990 after Tiny Toon Adventures, I remember watching it before Dinnertime and that Danny Cooksey and Jason Marsden were the voices of John Deer and Peter Pan. And Curry kicked Ass as Capt Hook.
@@Superlad945 Actually, I was born in December 1982. The Username is the birth year of my Baby Sister. Regarding A Pup Named Scooby Doo, I watched a Few Episodes when it aired on NBC Back in '88, didn't really like it.
Marsden also went on to voice Teenage Max Goof in A Goofy Movie.
@@Superlad945 That's Right! Max was able to get Aged up after Goof Troop.
A very underrated series. Loved watching this adaptation of Peter Pan. Dark and exciting.
I remember enjoying as a kid. Little confused why he wasn’t wearing green and why it wasn’t Disney, but slowly learned that many of these fairy tales were just adapted by Disney lol. I don’t have too much nostalgic memory but would be open to revisiting the series. I recall Peter & Lost Boys playing baseball against the Pirates, at least I thought lol. I played the NES title, don’t remember it being bad but again not very memorable lol
This unlocked such a happy childhood memory I damn near forgot about. I really appreciate you guys doing this one. This and Hook is how I got into Peter Pan. Those way more than the Disney version
I saw this cartoon since the beginning till the end and from then until today (2023), I have never forgotten the theme song. It lives rent free in my head.
I remember watching Peter Pan and the Pirates when it was on the air. It was one of my favorite versions of the story. It had a lot of action and adventure and felt edgier than the older versions, I absolutely loved it.
Gnome: "I, like my father and his father before him, am a gnome. "
HHook: "Gnome?"
Gnome: "Of course I know 'I'm! He's my father!"
The first dad joke I ever learned.
One of the things that surprises me, was that this (and Batman: The Animated Series), were both animated by TMS, who also went on to some Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures, who also animated shows for Disney, without Disney throwing some kind of anti competition clause in.
I absolutely loved Fox's Peter Pan and The Pirates. I was in school when it came on so I made sure to record each episode so I could watch it when I got home.
And Disney, what hasn't Disney destroyed?
Loved this show on Fox Kids. Tim Curry was a huge staple for me growing up (he played a great villain in this show and as Kilo Khan).
i honestly dont know who had more overall screen time, Tim Curry or Jim Cummings, they both are awesome so i dont mind either way.
@@UltimateGamerCC love both also! Both amazing actors for the parts they played
I loved this show as a kid. I had totally forgotten about it for years. Until a few years ago it just popped into my head. After talking to my friends who apparently never knew it existed, I took to the internet. Finally finding what it was called and looking it up on CZcams. So glad to see this video for a show I really enjoyed when I was young.
I've never forgotten Tim Curry's Captain Hook!
Back when this was airing, I would randomly, throughout t the day, imitate Tim Curry with every sentence beginning with “Mr. Smee” 😂😂😂
Oh man did I love this toon..loved this version of Peter Pan and Hook voiced by Tim Curry was legendary IMO...we got great side characters and villians like the ice king and the greatest villian and episode by far in the episode The Rake and Hooks brother Captain Patch. I could go on and on but wow, did this show leave a huge impression on growing up and still today.
I definitely remember watching Peter Pan and The Pirates. It was a great show! The theme song was also great to the point it is part of my random whistling catalogue.
All i know is this show made me fall in love with Tim Curry's voice and he sounded like he was having the time of his life voicing Hook.
I watched this show every day after school during its original run. This was one of the best cartoons of the 90's.
Loved this show and Tim Curry as Captain Hook. It's one of those short lived shows that felt like it was on for a lot longer.
As a kid, I Loved this series and watched it faithfully whenever it aired on the weekdays after school and in the weekends. Tim Curry's Iconic portrayal of Captain Hook is still burned into my memories after all these years! You hit the nail on the head by saying that Fox told Disney to Suck It!🤣
Though the first airing of this series was before I was born, I found it in reruns in the early nineties and I loved it! This is certainly one of the best versions of Peter Pan ever. It’s definitely in my top ten favorite adaptations. Peter and Captain Hook were so perfectly portrayed here. I remember how entertaining and exciting this series was! I thank you very much for making this video! This series was truly stunning and certainly a special part of my childhood!
this is one of those shows that i really enjoyed yet always forget it ever existed.
Absolutely loved this series! I'm glad the amazing talents behind Nemo in Slumberland were behind this fantastic series! Also gotta give credit to Captain Hook in this series! He was soo badass, he told off an entire Island sized monster!!!
The early years of The Fox Network really were a big middle finger to the rest of Hollywood. Especially when you consider that they started a cartoon block just to spite Disney and then the block that Fox created lasted even longer & was more influential than the Disney Afternoon Block was.
😂😂😂😂
Peter Pan and the Pirates-what a classic!!! And this Peter being my first crush😆
The golden age of animation. I loved this show when I was a kid.
Tim Curry in a show with that many “P”s to chew on was destined to be amazing.
I’m dying. “I added the F-off!” LOL
I recall absolutely LOVING this show along with 'Pirates of Dark Water'.
Possibly my first fandom I can remember. I loved this show, and spent many hours playing in the woods pretending to be a lost boy.
I used to be a patient at Great Ordmand Street Hospital as a kid. All the Peter pan decorations and bits and pieces related to it around the place helped make my time a bit easier
I often try to remember what the first movie I saw was. I'm not really sure still although I come around to several it could have been from time to time.
This is the oldest cartoon show I can remember watching all the way back to kindergarten so it must be one of the first. I loved this show SO much. I watched it what feels now like everyday. I even had dreams about it all the time- some that I still remember. There is nothing more precious to me - in film and tv - that I was given those adventures.
Peter Pan and the Pirates is my favorite version of Peter Pan- although I haven't seen it in probably 30+ years. It was (probably still is) on youtube, so I could watch it again, but if they won't release a cleaned up copy of the show on dvd/bluray/digital I can buy I just don't want to watch it again. Sometimes it's better to leave these things in our memory anyway. But I remember really liking how dark it is.
Now that I think of it around the same time there was a dark Sonic cartoon show too. That was a thing in kids shows for a little while in the 80s.
I watched it when I was a kid. It is still my favorite version of Peter Pan
This is totally weird, Dan, the same exact thing happened to me! I thought this was a series I'd never heard of.
And then Tim Curry started talking and suddenly I realized...I actually watched this all the time as a kid! This was in fact MY Peter Pan, and I've never even seen the Disney version! Tim Curry's Hook voice and Wendy's character design unlocked a deep part of my brain like a hidden compartment in a roll top desk.
I was never a fan of Disney's Peter Pan but this cartoon I watched daily. Crazy that it only got one season.
My sister and I friggin’ loved this show at the time! I mean, Tim Curry as Captain Hook? What’s not to love?!
This might be one of the earliest shows I ever watched. I also remember a couple years in the '90s when Fox attempted to re-aire syndicated episodes.
I remember seeing a few episodes of this back in the day. I wouldn't mind seeing it again.
It was shown after 4.30 on A Monday afternoon on BBC 1. A perfect cartoon to come home and unwind after a bad day at school.
I loved Peter Pan and The Pirates. It's one of my most favourite Peter Pan adaptations.
I loved this version of Peter pan more than Disney's version!
I say, you certainly do express the phrase "F--k off, Disney" with great glee!
I remember not liking this initially because I couldn't grasp that this was a different Peter Pan. I eventually came around, and while I can't recall a single episode I do remember enjoying this series
⤴️⤴️⤴️Thanks for the feedback,
Expect more videos very soon.
Send a direct message
I have something for you.!!!
Dan, you had asked if viewers would remember this relatively obscure program and...indeed I do; It premiered when I was nine years old and in the third grade. And as always, I love your program and always look forward to it.
One of my favourite cartoons as a kid. Yes, Tim Curry as Hook was amazing but let's not forget Jason Marsden as Peter Pan. I was lucky enough to receive a signed animation cel from this cartoon off Jason at comic con 😀 Will forever be thankful for that!
This was the best Peter Pan show of any of them.
I loved this show as a teenager. I used to read the original books when I was little and felt this show was fairly accurate to them. Though when Hook came out, I had to roll my eyes at the commercials on Fox advertising the reruns capitalizing on the movie.
Man oh man is this a total blast from the past! I have not seen this show since it originally aired, but I remember enjoying it more than I ever did the 1953 Disney movie. If I was able to find the series online somewhere, it would pretty much be new to me being one of the very few times that you can re-experience things for the first time again.
Worth mentioning around that time there was a Peter Pan Japanese anime, known as Peter Pan: The Animated Series (Peter Pan no Bouken), created 1989 by Fuji TV, licensed in the west by Saban, broadcast in many parts of Europe and Latin America.
I had forgotten about this show myself until last year. Somehow something got knocked loose in my head and it came swimming up to the surface. It really was a great show, that, unfortunately, got overshadowed by a lot of the other programs that were on at that time
I have a feeling we're somewhere around the same age, but I definitely remember this cartoon!! I was in about kindergarten or first grade when it aired -- but I remember LOVING this and the Wizard of Oz cartoon that Fox used to air around the same time!
Tim Curry was such a part of my childhood. This, Mighty Max, Hexis on Fern Gully, Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, Gargoyles... so many great kids cartoons, and him always the hammiest of bad guys. Love it.
Im my childhood, I knew him only as Pennywise.
I absolutely LOVED this series as a kid. I had almost forgotten all about it. Once again, Dan is bringing back parts of my long-lost childhood. Another excellent video.
I loved and still do love this show. Because of you I found the episodes on youtube and started watching it yesterday again. The music, animation and voice work are still so beautiful.
Future Pixar employees were definitely weaned on this great classic. THE AGES OF PAN is practically a masterclass in how to do an animated series finale right! The main character gets tricked into losing what made him powerful from the start! And nearly dies in the process? Talk about remembering that parents are in the room, too!
45 of the 65 episodes featured the Man himself, Tim Curry, who actually won a Daytime Emmy for his superb turn as Captain Hook. Rightfully so!❤
I had forgotten this existed until I heard Tim Curry's voice and it all came back to me!
Tim Curry as Captain Hook was the icing on the cake for me.
Wow - seeing this unlocked all the memories I had watching this as a kid. Thanks for covering this and I just subscribed! 👍🏼
And the award goes to 5:01 absolutely seamless 👏🏼
I remember this show! I watched it every day after school for a while. I didn’t know who Tim Curry was at the time but the fact that he was the voice of Hook explains why it was so great to me at a young age.
PP&TP was epic. I remember watching it after school. My favorite episode cycle was when Peter decides to grow up. Emotionally intense.
Disney is one of the shadiest companies to ever exist. It's honestly impressive that they've managed to maintain this carefully crafted image they have.
I completely forgot this existed! This was a great show. And wow, your editing is on point these days, guys, keep up the great work!
I remembered liking this more than the Peter Pan animated film. I was a bit confused as to why Peter Pan wore brown instead of green.
I loved that series so much. I barely remember it now but I remember being enraptured at the depth of the storytelling.
Oh my goodness! I remember watching this, but had completely forgotten about it. Thanks for this video!
Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates had been a regular afternoon entertainment for us in the Philippines back in the 90's but it was overshadowed by the Nippon Animation's Peter Pan. At one point, the latter was aired an hour or so from the other version that was broadcasted by the rival network. The Fox's variant was in English and has a niche Filipino audience versus the anime one which was dubbed in Tagalog language and had 90's minor celebrities as voice actors. Still, Fox's Peter Pan is still a treat. It still reminds me of warm humble midafternoon snack times and playing pirates.
I genuinely loved this version of Peter Pan. Thanks for explaining to me why I’ll never get to see it again. It’s one of the few cliff hanger season finales that baited me, I’m relieved in ways knowing I’m not the only person robbed of that resolve
One episode that I remember from my childhood and followed me in adulthood is the Cave of lost Happy Thoughts....
Captain Hook and the Pirates entered the cave to look for a lost Happy thought of Peter's and use it against him, only for Captain Hook to find his.... A voice following him throughout the cave saying his name, Smee says "it's an evil spirit sir...!" Hook starts to cry and he then said
"No Smee... It's my mother..!"
That episode from that day and still nowadays is my favorite episode. 😍
I had completely forgotten about this show! I used to watch it every weekday before having to go to school. They showed it awfully early in the morning where I grew up. Thanks for jogging this old man's memories
I have a lot of subscriptions.
