Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol

Back 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"

Whose Mr. Magoo? Ignoring the typo, it's the son of Helen Thomas.

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.

Magoo had more vision than anyone in the Obamateur administration.

“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.

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

Yes, I've seen it in Walmart in their 2/$10 bins.
