The Nutz family is definitely not the Cleavers, the Waltons or the Bradys. But you'll undoubtedly recognize them anyway. Most likely, they're a lot like the family you grew up in... where the battle for the last chicken leg is comparable to the Battle of Bull Run, sibling rivalry is putting it mildly, and family values usually refers to a coupon book. Soup to Nutz by Rick Stromoski stars hard-working Roy Nutz, his loving wife Pat, and their battling brood - sons Roy-boy and Andrew, daughter Babs and rambunctious dog Rosco.
Stromoski is the seventh in a family of 12 children. Growing up in such a large family has given him an especially developed sense of humor that he has expressed through drawing from the moment he could pick up a pencil. A self-taught cartoonist and humorous illustrator, his work has appeared in national magazines, children's and humor books, newspapers, licensed products, national advertising and network television. Stromoski's greeting cards have become best-sellers for several major companies. He has won four Louie Awards for outstanding greeting card design. He has been nominated for his illustration work by the National Cartoonists Society 12 times and was awarded the Reuben division award for best greeting cards in 1995 and 1998, and for magazine gag cartoons in 1999. An NCS board member since 1997, he was elected president in 2005.

He uses silver bullets, yet nobody ever says anything about going after werewolves.

My first hero. I still have an autographed photo hanging above my computer and just gave it a wink.

Because, when Tonto found him (“This one live!”), he was the lone survivor of the Butch Cavendish gang’s massacre of Texas Rangers.
Um … I’ll take “Potent Potables” for $300.

And he’s still the lone ranger because Tonto isn’t a ranger

That would be the Alone Ranger.

Little known fact: the Lone Ranger is the Green Hornet’s great-uncle.

These kids, cartoon characters though they are, are lucky to be able to watch the old shows. They were produced to a level of quality that should shame many shows today.

Destry…you are so right. Come to think of it, there was a movie called…Destry Rides again…first with Jimmy Stewart, then Audie Murphey.

George W. Trendel created both of them. They both had radio shows before becoming tv shows.

During the LR tv series we find out about a Reid Family news paper being started. The Green Hornet’s family name is Reid. Also they owned a newspaper and tv station in the series. Created by the same people who did “Batman” only the “GH” is done seriously.

It would shame all of today’s shows. Most kids wouldn’t watch anyway…they’d have to use their imaginations.
