Mr. Magoos Christmas CarolBack in the 60's when I was a kid, I watched that every Christmas on B/W TV!
I loved to watch Mr. Magoo; his voice, Jim Backus.

I loved Mr. Magoo as a kid, especially his Chinese house boy Cholley! Ok Bloss! What ever happened to him? I never see any pictures of him with Mr. Magoo. I guess its considered "Non-PC"

Mr. Magoo was around in the 1950's. My then boyfriend (now husband of 55 years) picked up a stray black mutt who came wandering into a local beer bar near U.S.C., and named him Mr. Magoo.
The dog had a flatulence problem (which he invaribly pointed towards me), probably because his diet consisted of pastrami and beer. Just kidding about the beer.

“fought at Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal and Okinawa, earning a Bronze Star for bravery.”
PLEASE take a moment to appreciate this Marine. The casualties suffered on these 3 islands were staggering. Without a doubt, this man saw many of his friends and fellow Marines pay the ultimate price. Thank you Millard Kaufman.
To: Dubya
Mr. Magoo and Jim Backus, too. Two of the comic lights of my childhood. Thanks for posting.
And yes, I deeply appreciate his service as well. Thank God he and many others came back when so many didn’t
