Infos

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Joe McDoakes is the protagonist of a series of 63 black and white live action comedy one reel short subjects released between 1942 and 1956. The Joe McDoakes shorts are also known as the Behind the Eight Ball series (for the large eight ball Joe appeared from behind in the opening credits) or the So You Want... series (as most of the films were titled). The theme song is "I Know that You Know" (music by Vincent Youmans) from his Broadway musical "Oh, Please!" (1926), used later in the M-G-M musical Hit the Deck (1955). The entire series was produced and directed by Richard Bare (d/b/a Richard L. Bare Productions) and distributed by Warner Bros. under their Vitaphone brand. George O'Hanlon, who would later provide the voice of George Jetson, starred as Joe McDoakes. These one-reel shorts were co-written by Bare and O'Hanlon, although Bare usually received sole screen credit as writer.
