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!)

I liked Orson Bean's Bilbo :) The voices in that cartoon were generally some pretty big stars--I liked the voices for Gandalf, Thorin, Gollum, and Smaug. "The Greatest Adventure" did have some wisdom in the lyrics; Glenn Yarborough got a little too much vibrato in the vocals though :) The songs I did really like were "Down to Goblintown" and "Fifteen Birds in Five Fir Trees".
