Funny Company | Four Frolics with THE CLUB
(1963) The Funny Company is an American animated cartoon produced in 1963 and seen in syndication. Ken Snyder and Charles Koren produced 260 six-minute-long episodes. The Mattel Corporation provided financial backing. Snyder conceived the program in response to then Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Newton N. Minow's call for more educational children's programs.
Plot: The Funny Company group resembled a club not unlike a Junior Achievement organization, that had a noseless smiley face used as the club logo. Most of the time, the stories would revolve around the Company being hired for different jobs to make a little money (yard work, house cleaning, babysitting, etc.) or doing something for charity (such as putting on shows).
