"What's this? The Hobbit? What the heck is a Hobbit?"

What's a burrahobbit? :) I caught the premiere of Rankin-Bass as a kid while randomly flipping channels, and I happened to come in during the Riddle Game. I remember it distinctly because I was eating a honey sandwich, so for a while after that I couldn't eat a honey sandwich because it reminded me of Rankin-Bass Gollum, who creeped me out because he seemed like a frog or something, LOL!

LOL!!! I loved Orson Bean's voice...and because I was in a Folk Group at church, the music was particularly appealing (I cringe now whenever I hear it). Orson will always be Bilbo for me. I think I really glommed onto that show because it helped put a picture in my mind for something that was so beyond what I was used to reading...I can barely remember what I had been reading before all of that...Betsy Tacy and Tib and the Little House series were about the only things that entertained me at the time.

I thought the song "Greatest Adventure" was such deep wisdom (well, it is actually!)
