That'll be neat to see. The ones when I was a kid weren't special ones like Scooby Doo or anything but simply straws with several twists and loops.
And I've gotta go to bed soon, so if you put your newest weekly survey up tonight I'll take it sometime over the weekend. :)
Yes you got the $100,000 bar commercials exactly. :) Yes, it was pretty weird how the candy was narrowly streched so long from the person's mouth and then frozen on the package. The candy bar tastes pretty good, but I didn't like it as much as some of the others. I'm not sure either if it's...
Yeah definitely early 70's. Lefty tries to sell Ernie a scale. He keeps giving food examples saying things like, "Suppose the recipe says use two pounds of this." Then he puts the food item on the scale and it weighs two pounds. But the catch is it always weighs two pounds. He is trying to sell...
Around the mid 70's I remember a muppet (not sure eactly what kind of muppet, but think it was an anything muppet) taking apples one at a time. It was a street scene. There were five apples and he said, "Five apples take away one apple leaves four apples. Heh heh heh." Then he zipped away with...
I agree with Ernie's sentiment here. Loved them both, and liked other Hanna Barbera cartoons like Yogi and Huckleberry. But The Flintstones is clearly the best of them all and one of the best shows ever on television. Six years of many memorable, hilarious episodes. The writing was great, the...
Just like cereal commercials and board game commercials, a lot of candy bar commercials were pretty catchy. Let's see, Almond Joy and Mounds ("Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't") and Reese'e Peanut Butter Cups have been mentioned. Here's some others:
The 80's had a Kit Kat...
Oh I'm sure it wasn't nearly as good as that early 70's one.
And yesterday I visited my great aunt after work at the nursing home she's at. And since I am in the middle of another long work stretch, I was real exhausted when I got home at about 7. So I just watched some Phillies baseball and...
Excellent job with that segment, Soul H. I had forgotten that funny exchange:
"Maybe you left it in your car."
"I doubt that."
"I do that sometimes."
"I don't HAVE a car."
I love jokes like that. Like the one where the lady asks her doctor, "When I get out of the hospital, do you think...
Yeah the Dragnet one was a real good one. "A straight line up, a straight line down, a straight line up, and a straight line dow..." Neat use of the Dragnet like music as they were on the hunt for the w.
Wasn't there also another Dragnet parody made in more recent SS? I don't know anything...
Only 77F,25F today. Some rain and rather humid but when the temp stays below 80 the humidity is not really a pain in the neck. :) This weekend we get rather hot and humid again but then all next week is supposed to be BE YUTE EE FULL! Ahhhhhhhh. Just when it was starting to seem like I would...
Here's a few r segments:
(1) Three animated guys saying, "run run run" repeatedly as they, of course, ran. But I think they were carrying something (maybe a ladder) but can't recall what.
(2) The animated lady saying "r" when the r was above her head. Then it formed itself into a ribbon...
And another LONG running commercial from the early 70's which I think I saw a few times in the 90's was that, "Lite Brite making things with lighhhht. What a sight making things with Lite Brite." Near the end that guy said, "And with refills, Bugs Bunny and Bozo the Clown"
And remember the...
Yes that was very sad and tragic what happened to Vic Morrow during the filming. Just like was really awful what happened around the same time after "Poltergeist" was released - Dominique Dunne murdered by her boyfriend. (And then poor little Heather O'Rourke dying at age 12 a few years later).
Well I just typed in a bunch of stuff and then had to go and accidentally hit the escape key and it cleared all the text! Anyone know if there's anything you can do in that situation to retrieve the typed material? Also, has anyone else ever done this frustrating thing? (One time 2 or 3 years...
In Philly a little warmer today than they forecasted. High of 87F,30C. At least it's still better than the previous heat waves. Humidity was not exactly low, but not so harsh either. And they still have the word, "comfortable" in tonight's forecast! (Low going down to 65F,18C). Better sleeping...
It's truly an awful detestable disease beyond words. One of the most comforting Bible verses to me, which I read last year at my great uncle's funeral, is Revelation 21:4:
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither...
I thought of one skit that Bert wasn't really in, except that he was mentioned and was supposed to be offscreen in the bedroom. Ernie calls the doctor (they were still doing house calls in the early 70's) because Bert has an upset stomach. But when the doctor gets there he keeps examining Ernie...
I'm a big alphabet fan too. :) I always liked both letters and numbers as a child and enjoyed reading, writing, spelling, and math. So the number sketches, alphabet sketches, and letter sketches of SS were some of many aspects that made the show so appealing to me. And the phonics of the 26...
