Though I remember watching some Beary Family Album "cartunes" on the "Woody Woodpecker and Friends" show in Jacksonvile, Fla., this is the first time, courtesy of YouTube as linked from the Saturday Morning Blog, that I actually watched one in its entirety. And I wished I hadn't! Made during the '60s when almost any cartoon made during this time would suffer from low budgets and almost no comic timing, Window Pains has the male father bear decide to wash the windows himself after calculating the total cost of having a professional clean all 22 of those things. Big mistake especially when he asks his skateboarding teenage son to help. Like I inferred, despite the disasters that come, nothing funny happens because of the clumsy slapstick that just is too predictable and stupid to even be amused by. What a waste of the voice talents of Paul Frees and Grace Stafford who happens to be producer Walter Lantz' wife! I think I've said enough so on that note, I do not recommend Window Pains.
