bettybrighton I am not aware of The Betty Boop Scandals of 1974. I'll have to check with Jeeves on that one!! By the way, welcome to the forum.

[boopcrazy]

yes bettybrighton welcome, hmm never thought i'd hear scandal and betty boop in the same sentance. now that i would love to see.

[lilhommieb74]

iz scandal like a bad thing??

[Bikerbettyboop]

The definition of scandal is:

to defame; to asperse; to traduce; to slander.
(v. t.) To scandalize; to offend.

So yes, I guess you could say that a scandal could be a bad thing.

However, that being said, I asked Jeeves.comfor The Betty Boop Scandals of 1974 and I found this information:

Betty Boop's films would reach audiences once again when they were placed into syndication on television in the 1950s. She also gained exposure in the 1960s counterculture movement. The National Television Associates (NTA) capitalized on this and bought the rights to her shorts to colorize and re-air them on TV as The Betty Boop Show. Ivy Films put together a movie of some of Betty's better shorts called The Betty Boop Scandals of 1974 which saw some limited success.

NTA later released another compilation movie, Hurray for Betty Boop in 1980. Marketers rediscovered Betty Boop in the 1980s as well, and merchandise featuring the character (in her earlier, sexier form) is now widely available. Recently, her 1933 film "Snow White" was selected for preservation by the U.S. Library of Congress in the National Film Registry.

Yeah, I think so too.....My stepdad gave it to me (I think he bought it at BlockBusters). Haven't seen them since but I'm sure they're out there.....I think it was pretty pricey though. If I recall, somewhere around $55.00. But it's something I'll have forever..............:D
