Hi Docnzhoss, good to see you here and thanks for another update. I'm sure you do have your hands full these days with all this going on. And I agree with you about the hospital needing to claim responsibility. Very sorry to hear that your grandmother was a victim of one of these hospital...

"How do you get shirts so clean, Mr. (Lee?)" "Shhh. Ancient Chinese secret." "My husband, some hotshot. Here's his ancient Chinese secret- Calgon!" I had thought of that one a few days ago but didn't think anyone would have seen or recalled it. :) And who could forget this one (if...

If I get up at 5am and then had burgers and fries at 6am, I probably wouldn't like it as much as usual. Yet, if I slept in until 10am and then ate burgers and fries at 11, they'd probably be just fine. Funny how that works! Maybe something about eating when still half asleep and it's still dark...

Yeah it was definitely early 70's (fuzzygobo says it's 1971) because I remember seeing it way back then on SS. And I know what you mean about the dimmer part. Interesting how a lot of other early 70's shows (like Hawaii Five-O and Emergency!) and movies too had that duller color. And also...

I was only kidding, mike. Xerus said the letters they used were h o and r and that he always wondered what they were spelling so I just said maybe it was 3 out of 5 letters of the word horse, but was just saying for fun. :) And I see in the early post you mentioned in this thread that you...

This sounds like fast food, like Burger King or Wendy's. Was this a late breakfast you had like about 11am or was this food from another place than a fast food restaurant? :) One morning recently I thought I'd stop at a local convenience store for breakfast (they have sausage and egg bagels...

I don't recall that show ("The Metric System"). I do recall very well the inchworm sketch on SS. And I agree, mikebennidict, the music was beautiful and the setting was nice. I liked when the inchworm and the bug began to do their bits ( "two and two are four" with "Inchworm, inchworm")...

Maybe they intended to do an S and E and thus spell Horse. :) I thought there were more than just R, just couldn't think of the specific letters, so thanks for that, Xerus. On a different SS film subject, there was one from the early 70's that I think showed lizards and a song with it...

Yeah it's really great to savor these for a while , eh Ernie? And makes the wait for the next season a bit shorter too. :) Last night I also watched the first two episodes (Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens). Great to see Ernie and Bert in the second one. And the Mahna Mahna song in the...

Why thank you Janiice. Your memory is quite close to a steel trap yourself. :) Naw, they're GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT! Interesting how many catchy cereal commercials there were. Like, "always after my Lucky Charms. Pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, and blue diamonds."...

Well I'm glad at least you are getting the kind of weather that seems like such a faint memory to me now, redBoobergurl! Today continues the awful 95F,35C humid weather. Monday or Tuesday we finally get out of the 90's, but only to the upper 80's which is still a far cry from the weather I dream...

I've seen on this forum at least a couple times before the film with the letter R being hoisted up until it is on top of that building. I'm just wondering if anyone remembers if there was any other letters they did that with. Seems like S might have been one. If R was the only one, they sure did...

And one with a lady and a dog and she doesn't know what kind of animal he is. So he gives her obvious clues like wagging his tail. She concludes, "I've got it! You're a dinosaur." He says, "No!" and walks away in disgust. She shouts after him, "You call those hints?!" He replies, "I'm a dog...

I'm very happy that my copy arrived from Amazon today in the mail. :) I had hoped it would come today instead of yesterday, because I wouldn't have been able to watch any last evening. But now I am really looking forward to getting into a few of these after dinner this evening. I will be...

One commercial that got on my nerves was The Energizer bunny commercials. "Still going, Nothing outlasts the energizer. They keep going and going and going..." And they would often start out like it's a totally different commercial and then suddenly that dang bunny beating the drum and those...

How's the weather where I am? Like CM's favorite food - Crummy! We're in a full-fledged heat wave AGAIN with a temp of 93F,34C and very humid. No relief through Monday and barely any on Tuesday (high of 88. Big deal). Well, they say everyone complains about the weather but no one does anything...

And as I also say congrats to you, gonzo14, I can also say that I am now 3/4th's of the way to senior member! :)

Yeah, the clapper is another good example of a commercial (like the aforementioned Perfection and Life Cereal [Hey Mikey!] commercials) that lasted for years and years. I used to get a kick out of "Crazy Eddie" commercials. Those of you who are in NY, NJ, and PA may remember those. It was a...

And that reminds me of a TEC segment with a huge pair of teeth they called, "The teeth!" There was a line that went something like, "The teeth just ate half of New York and New Jersey." I too was afraid that people in these states had been eaten and, since I lived in a nearby state (Maryland...

I think it might indeed be from TEC instead of SS. I seldom mix up any skits between the two shows but in this case I'm thinking I could have. And I guess the chants they did were for words and not just a single letter. Seems amazing they got that many people to form all those letters on the...
