From Wikipedia:
Looney Tunes is a Warner Bros. animated cartoon series which ran in many movie theatres from 1930 to 1969. It preceded the Merrie Melodies series and is Warner Bros.’s first animated theatrical series. The regular Warner Bros. animation cast also became known as the “Looney Tunes” (often misspelled, intentionally or not, as “Looney Toons”).
The name Looney Tunes is a variation on the name of Walt Disney’s concurrent series of music-based cartoon shorts. Looney Tunes originally showcased Warner-owned musical compositions through the adventures of cartoon characters such as Bosko and Buddy. Later Looney Tunes shorts featured popular characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester and Tweety, Marvin the Martian, Taz, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Pepé Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, and many others.

Garfield is a daily-syndicated comic strip created by Jim Davis. Published since June 19, 1978, it chronicles the life of the title character, the cat Garfield (named for Davis’ grandfather); his owner, Jon Arbuckle; and the dog, Odie. As of 2007, it is syndicated in roughly 2,580 newspapers and journals and currently holds the Guinness World Record for being the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip.
Though never mentioned in print, Garfield is set in Muncie, Indiana, according to the television special Garfield Goes Hollywood. Common themes in the strip include Garfield’s laziness, obsessive eating, and hate of Mondays and diets. The strip’s focus is mostly on the interactions between Garfield, Jon, and Odie; recurring minor characters appear as well.
Originally created with the intentions to “come up with a good, marketable character”, Garfield has become commercially successful, with merchandise earning $750 million to $1 billion annually. In addition to the various merchandise and commercial tie-ins, the strip has spawned several animated television specials, two animated television series, two theatrical feature-length live-action films and three CGI animated direct-to-video movies. Part of the strip’s broad appeal is due to its lack of social or political commentary; though this was Davis’s original intention, he also admitted that his “grasp of politics isn’t strong”

He was scheduled to appear on the first episode of Saturday Night Live (October 11, 1975), but his sketch was cut. He did do a stand-up bit later on that first season as “Bill Crystal”, on the April 17, 1976, episode. After hosting a show years later, in 1984, he joined the cast. His most famous recurring sketch was his parody of Fernando Lamas – Fernando, a smarmy talk show host whose catch phrase, “You look… mahvelous!,” became a media sensation.

The Flowbee is an electric powered vacuum attachment made for cutting hair invented by San Diego carpenter Rick Hunts in the late 1980s. The product is touted as being capable of performing “hundreds of precision layered haircuts” and was frequently displayed on late-night television infomercials.
Reference to the Flowbee has been made in both film and television, such as the movie Wayne’s World (in which a similar product called the “Suck-Kut” is touted, and which Wayne says “It certainly does suck”), the movie High School High, drama television series Party of Five and Judging Amy, and sitcoms Home Improvement and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It is also referenced in the Bloodhound Gang song Mope. In Brotherhood, it is ironically referred to as an “underrated invention”. Series 2, episode 5.
The Flowbee can also be used to groom dogs with long hair such as Maltese or Bichon Frisé with a special pet grooming attachment which is sold separately. The Flowbee is still being manufactured and sold via their factory direct website and various outlets across the Internet.

Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future was a syndicated 1987-88 television series that ran for 22 episodes. During each episode there was a segment that included visual and audio material intended for the toys. Viewers could purchase the toys and then play a sort of video game interacting with the television program. Though billed primarily as a children’s show, it gained more than its share of adult fans through its serious storyline, elaborate special-effects and combat themed action.
