Video of the Week: Two Hanna-Barbera Voice Actors on 3rd Degree

     It's time for this week's video, and today, I've got a pretty cool one to share with you guys. Coming from all the way back in 1989, here are two classic Hanna-Barbera voice actors on the gameshow 3rd Degree. For the uninitiated, which is probably most of you, 3rd Degree was a short-lived series that featured a panel of celebrities trying to guess the relationship between two contestants. The segment with the two actors starts at 14:30. I won't say who the actors are, but let's just say they're a page right out of history!



Interestingly enough, they weren't the only two Hanna-Barbera actors to appear on this show during its short run. According to the series' Wikipedia page, Don Messick and Lucille Bliss, best known for their work on The Smurfs at this time, also made an appearance. I couldn't find any footage of that segment, and since this is from Wikipedia, that could very well be fake, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Before I wrap this post up, I leave you with a press image from the show featuring Mr. and Mrs. Flintstones themselves, taken from an archived fansite for the series. And, if you happened to have seen the Messick/Bliss segment in this series, I would love to hear about it to confirm its legitimacy! TV appearances with Don Messick aren't too common (I actually know of another that also seems lost), so it would be fantastic if someone had ahold of it!
