AS SEEN ON TV: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Although we're leaving behind the Tooniverse with yesterday's portrait of James Madison "As Seen On TV", we're not yet done with our Founding Fathers. Today's historical figure in Toobworld is Ben Franklin, as played by Richard Easton in the PBS mini-series 'Benjamin Franklin'. Ben Franklin may very well be America's first celebrity who was "made for television". If he was alive today, Franklin would be making the rounds of sitcoms and dramas, in high demand to appear as himself.

BCnU!
