S'much's surprise appearance in this week's "Manny's America" to the Character List.

Henry Kissinger to the Character List.  Thanks for the identification to Craig Crumpton!

Created:

A quick "Upcoming 'Manny's America'" list.  It doesn't have a place, yet, so you'll either have to bookmark it or click through here, but I thought it was time I made such a thing available...  Feel free to send me additions!

Rescinded:

That "(co)" after "The Hello Song" in the Writing Credits.  I mean, sure he only co-wrote the tune, but he's the only one given credit for the actual lyrics (at least, according to my source) and if I listed credits otherwise--well, they'd all be (co)'s!

September 23rd, 1999

Added:

Thumbnail for the laptop image in the Gallery.

Solved:

A host of problems created by the new case-senstitive server between the links of the Sound Page and the sound files, themselves, as well as several other related such.

September 21st, 1999

Eep!:

It seems my host just switched over to a case-sensitive server (razza frazzin'...).  I'm sure I needn't say that this has caused a great many problems.  One such was that the versions of this page and the main page being shown (as well as others, quite possibly) were outdated.  I believe I've corrected this.  If you're reading this, I've at least succeeded in part.  I've also put up redirectional pages with all-lower case names to point to the actual files, the names of which I try to keep first-letter-capitalized as it's my natural tendency to type them that way when creating links.  That should solve a few more future snags.  However, if you find anything that doesn't seem quite right, please let me know.  I'll try to correct it as soon as possible.

Created:

"CD's (songs not found on TV)" section to the Writing Credits page.

Added:

"The Hello Song (co)" to the Writing Credits page.
A tri-panel photo from the August 1994 issue of "i.e" to the Gallery.
Handy little thumbnails to the Gallery (though I'm having trouble with #5, the laptop image...)

September 19th, 1999

Added:

Little Manny to the Character List (oh, it does too count ;).

September 16th, 1999

Quick bit o' news:

A new episode of "Histeria!" ("More China", #31) will air this Monday (the 20th) with a Paul Rugg-voiced character.  If you can stand to sift through it, it may be worth checking out ;)

September 15th, 1999

Apologized:

For being slow to update.  There have been other things I've had to attend to.  I've decided to spread some of the updates out a bit, rather than heap them all on you at once as I'd previously planned.  And on that thread...

Created:

The Paul Rugg Gallery!

Added:

Tom Snyder ("Nerdator") to the Character List.  Thanks again Craig!
S'Much to the Character List.
Vent Haven Museum to the "Manny Sites" section of the Links page.

Vote!:

For a chance to chat with Manny the Uncanny in this poll from One Saturday Morning's official site.

Extra special thanks to:

Craig Crumpton for the glowing recommendations and star seen in the V.A.U.L.T.

September 9th, 1999

It all began...:

When I quickly looked up Wilmington (home of the College of Oceaneering) in Microsoft's "Streets 98".  On a whim, I decided to mark the College's location, perhaps beginning a map of "Manny" sites.  The first URL to list its address also provided a web site...  Which, of course, made me curious...  I began to seek out the Manny sites I had recorded specific mention of and found that they all had official websites, as well (even San Diego's Scottish Highland Games).  Thus, was born the "Manny Sites" section of the Links page!  Enjoy! ;)

Created:

"Manny Sites" section of the Links page.

Added:

10 (1/2) "Manny Sites"

September 8th, 1999

Well, folks:

It seems that neither Manny the Uncanny nor Alistair Flyndiggery will be among the intersitials used for "One Too".  Instead, seconds-long segments featuring the characters of "Doug", "Recess", etc. will fill the gaps and promote a sense of unity.

But:

Does it seem odd to anyone else that this every-day-but-Saturday program should be a spinoff of ("You only get") One Saturday Morning?

Oh, and...:

Alert Ruggaphile Craig Crumpton (Editor of the Voice Actor section of Netscape's Open Directory Project) alerted me of Amid Amidi's "Animation World Magazine" article in which one may find a brief description of "Manny's America".  Thanks Craig!

Also:

A truckload of additions is currently in the works--get ready to be heaped upon with Ruggian updates!  Huggbees!

September 4th, 1999

Noted:

That "One Saturday Morning" will air a special episode next Friday evening (the 10th) on ABC.  The Manny clip shown in the ad was captioned "Manny's America", if that means anything to you ;)

Also:

"One Saturday Morning" is spinning off "One Too", a OSM-like program containing "Doug", "Hercules", "Recess", and the new series "Sabrina" and airing weekday/Sunday afternoons (or mornings, depending on where you live), where at least two of those shows have probably been airing anyway.  Now, neither of the two official-type documents I've found on the subject have mentioned Manny, Flyndiggery, or the Tube Dwellers among the interstitials planned, but there's still the possibility of Paul Rugg 7 days a week.  Supporting evidence:  The "Show Information" link on the newly redesigned "Ask Manny" site lists "One Too" times/stations (click here for yours) and the "One Too" home page has a Manny link to the left.  However, the "Show Information" page seems to be shared by all OSM/OT shows and the "One Too" home page also has links to "Winnie the Pooh" and "Squigglevision".

So:

Who knows.  We'll just have to wait 'till Monday to find out.  In the meantime, cross your fingers, toes, and any other appendange you might have available.

Oh, and...:

I wouldn't personally recommend the new games on the revamped Many site; I find them rather disturbing.

Ooh!:

And here's something you should like:  Brian Cruz, from whom I get my schedule info, has found a new source to replace the one he'd lost and hopes to update soon.  As soon as he does, we'll post new Schedules, ourself.  (You'd find it useful, wouldn't you?  Oh, *please* let me know!  You don't even have to use your real email address or type a single character; I'd just like to know that someone, somewhere, thinks a Paul Rugg schedule is a useful thing.  If there's absolutely *no* support...  Well, after I get the eps I need on tape, I'll probably just retire the thing.  So, now's your chance, folks--speak up!

August 29th, 1999

Created:

Paul Rugg's Writing Credits!

August 23rd, 1999

Jus' got back:

From a fair-sized vacation.

And Added:

The "Animaniacs Splat Ball" section of the Character List (which I'm actually a bit late in doing <=}).

August 7th, 1999

Added:

"Uncle" Albert Einstein ("Puppet Rulers") and two Mr. Director appearances ("Taming of the Screwy" and "Macbeth") to the Character List.  Thanks again, Craig! =)

Also:

Manually cleaned up some of the superfluous code created by Composer from the Character List.  Whatta mess it was!  Even with the new additions, I've shaved off nearly 3k!  When considered as a percentage of the document's total size, that's a good chunk.  I've tested it with IE 3.02 and Communicator 4.08, but if you have any trouble with it, do let me know.

August 6th, 1999

Added:

Dr. Belvadere to the Character List.  Thanks Craig!
A somewhat old wave of the last bit of "Monster Love" to Durante-esque singer's section of the Sound Page.  'Tis but an appetizer, folks! I've a truckload of waves jus' waitin' t'be made--as soon as my means of recording is up and running again.

August 3rd, 1999

Added:

Baron Von Trapp (?) to the Character List.

July 31st, 1999

"One Saturday Morning" section to the Character List with Manny the Uncanny, Bob (Tube Dweller), and Alistair Flyndiggery.

July 20th, 1999

Added:

Freakaziod and Animaniacs web ring codes to the main page.

Apologized:

To anyone who missed any Paul Rugg over the last week and a half.  I'm afraid we're all in the same boat on this =/  Y'see, my sole source of schedule info is another fellow's web page; If he doesn't update, I can't either.  Believe me, I'll update the schedule as soon as possible.

However...:

It seems that I'm the only one this affects, anyway.  After all, not one soul took the time to click the email link on the Schedule page to indicate a usage of it...  Am I really the only one using this?  Please, if you find it at *all* useful, do let me know.

July 8th, 1999

Added:

"Laughing Waiter (?)" to the Character List.

July 2nd, 1999

Added:

Reference to Paul Rugg's appearance as himself (sorta) in "The Party" to the Character List.

The time noted for "Freakazoid!" at the bottom of the Schedule.  The show has moved to Sundays.

Corrected:

Link to Paul Rugg's section of "The Open Directory Project" (though I swear it used to work...).
Various links in the Sound Page.  Sorry folks, I'd no idea there were so many broken links! <=}

June 24th, 1999

Added:

Reference to Freakazoid's unexpected (why haven't I heard of this? <=)) appearance in "This Pun For Hire" to the Character List.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch the performance on tape, being so very surprised and all, so there won't be any audio samples.  I don't believe he said much, anyway...

June 23rd, 1999

Added:

"Network Censor" (Ep. #18) and "Second Man Named Bob" to the Character List.
Freakazoid!, A! (WB), A! (CN), Pinky and the Brain, and Histeria! Schedules 'til July 11th.  What a Rugg-filled set of weeks! =)

Of special note: "Clown and Out", "The Warners' 65th Anniversary Special", and "Normadeus".
[And that's just for F! and A! (WB)]

Also interesting:  All of Mr. Director's appearances (that weren't direct-to-video) are listed in the Schedule this time 'round.  So, if you've been longing to catch a Mr. Director appearance, now's your chance!

Noted:

That one can't always go by the "Last Updated" on the main page.  I'm afraid I more often than not forget to change that <=}  Excluding *really* minor changes, however, this page is a good indicator of alterations.  So, check it, instead ;)

Oh, and...:

Sorry 'bout the lack of updates to the Sound Page.  I've got a few I'd like to record, but my method of doing so is currently unavailable <=}

June 16th, 1999

Added:

F! info to the Schedule for the coming weekend.

June 8th, 1999

June 4th, 1999

Added:

Saturday airing of "The Know-It-Alls" to the Histeria! section of the Schedule.

May 26th, 1999

Added:

Schedules 'til June 5th.

Apologized:

To those who missed "Super Strong Warner Siblings" or "Wakko's New Gookie" because the Schedule page hadn't be updated <=}

Also Added:

Reference to Paul's guest appearance as Mr. Director in "The Pinky and the Brain Reuinion Special" to the Character List.

May 22nd, 1999

"I feel like Obi-Wan Cruddy Kenobi!":

I found this line (from Paul Rugg's "The Wrath of Guitierrez") especially amusing, given its timing ;)

Y'know...:

Ewan McGreggor's Scottish...

Outdated link to "Freaking Out with Paul Rugg", now back on the 'net!  Brett Rogers, you're a saint! =)

Deleted:

Already-aired episodes from the Schedule.

Handman/Handgirl section of the Sound Page.

Two "Two Against Freak" waves, two F! "Handman" waves and a Handman/Handgirl "Handman" wave.

That I may be reporting more than needs be reported.

Also:

I dug a perfectly round hole...  with my own two hands!  Dig me!
