Good thing we don't have that idiot Santorum in office,he'd turn the clock back to 1830!

I agree 100%.
You might enjoy reading a blog post that I wrote, right after Santorum won the Louisianna primary. It is located at this address http://sentimental-journeys.com/2012/03/26/holier-than-thou-rick-santorum-winning-louisianna-primary-announce-vp-candidates.aspx
You might also enjoy reading a Santorum post on one of my other blogs - I SAW AN EYESORE BILLBOARD. The address is: http://isawaneyesorebillboard.com/2012/03/18/if-santorum-had-seen-this-near-north-side-chicago-billboard-he-would-have-had-a-coronary.aspx

Loved Bullwinkle! Loved the good old commercials! I'd forgot the "Capital 'G', little 'O' - Go, go Cheerios! Thanks for the memories!

Thanks for the recipe! I'm always looking for things from 1962 and this seems delicious to boot. I like both ingredients, so I'll give it a try and share it on my Facebook page.

I completely agree with you. I lived most my life in IL and now live in CO. I wanted to drive my car (currently equipped with studded tires) back to IL for a visit in January. 950 miles without studs along I-80 and country roads?? I think not! So used to driving in deep snow conditions but when it comes to ice - studded tires are the only way to go. 4 wheel or 18 wheel drive doesn't matter one iota on ice!! We should all be allowed studded tires for safety's sake and, at the very least, visitors should be exempt for the duration of their visit. The rest of us shouldn't have to conform to exceptions of idiot states.

Lol. I still use Dial when I can find it.

Were you one of the magazine models (he asks, hopefully?)

My grandfather worked for Luick Dairy during the 30's and one of our prized photos taken outside his home in West Allis is of him behind the wheel of the bottle truck.

This man was my great Uncle. In 1978, I called his wife, I told her who I was, and I had a nice talk with her. Then it got bad, it was the ANNIVERSARY of the death of Mr. Luick, almost to the exact hour of his death.The ad for the car was in Life magazine, in the 60'S. A full page ad, that's all I have.

Cool post! Love John Hughes films as well. "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" could be his best.

Who is the blonde singing along with Rooney in the Rainer Beer commercial?
Reply to this
That is his wife - Jan Rooney (18 years younger than Mickey.)

Not saying Rowan wasn't considered but he seems a little slow-paced for such a fast-moving game show. The original HS pilot starred Bert Parks and is on YouTube. A second pilot starred someone else but I've heard it was comedian Sandy Baron. Hard to imagine without Peter, though. Was such a good fit.

Although TV ran Hoppy films as early as 1948, it wasn't until 1952, that Hoppy began his TV show. Of course, his merchandising began about 1950. The Lone Ranger came on TV in 1949 and while it had been on radio since 1933, the producers didn't market it like Hoppy. Hoppy was tops in his day, but Roy Rogers overtook him in the long run, lasting until the Sixties.

I was a RR fan back in the days when he was on radio Sunday nights on Quaker Oats and Mother's Oats. Roy was my man, but MAN, was that Quaker Oats hard to swallow with brown sugar. Fortunately, Roy went to Post Cereals' Sugar Crisp when he went on television.

Do you remember an ad from the late '60s where a kid freaks out over a bunch of "No Swimming"/"Keep off the Grass''/"No This/No That" signs surrounding him, and he runs screaming for Sugar Pops Pete? Wish I could find that one again; it was nuts!
Reply to this
No, I never saw that commercial. The cereal ads from the sixties were so imaginative. The animation and dialogue (relatively so) were high quality. The ads were like small 30 second or 60 second TV shows.

This is too funny, they look like their hanging around having a great time while the husband is at work.

Although James Wright is the inventor of Silly Putty, some of the credit must go to Peter Hodgson, who discovered the properties of Silly Putty (it can bounce and it can popped) and well as creating the distinctive egg container

I really enjoyed this story. I remember Ozark from when I was young; it's nice to know a little more about them.
Reply to this
Ha! Love it!

That is so interesting. I grew up in the Quad Cities area, where John Deere is located - my dad was with them for over 35 years. IH was the biggest rival. I'm passing this article on to my dad, who will get a kick out of it.

You said that you would pay BIG BUCKS to see a concert with the musical saw in it. Well, actually you only need to pay $10 to see lots of people play the saw: every summer there is a musical saw festival in NYC: http://www.musicalsawfestival.org There is one coming up August 7th.
This is a video from last year's festival: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuQp5WZY6fM
And, if you check the bio of the lady who organizes this festival - she has played the saw at Carnegie Hall!

That is very interesting.
My main point was a concert with STOMP along with the saw musician. That is what I would pay BIG BUCKS to see.
As a side note, A Carnegie Hall duet with a saw musician and a harpist would be very interesting.

This is a great post! You should post it on Welch's Facebook page: www.facebook.com/welchsgrapes

I'm an unapologetic fan of both Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants. In the case of the latter, I'd imagine Deanna Lund is a continuing reason for its popularity with its fans!
You can find a photo of the LOTG model at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonknutson/1450695727/in/set-72157603549445230/ and a photo of a customized one at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonknutson/1451549668/in/set-72157603549445230/

The 70's style furniture was really weird but its kind of cool too. You may also call it a little funky.

Great stuff here! I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I've created videos of both the Kenner and Chad Valley Bionic Woman Give-A-Show sets, all of which can be found either on YouTube, the Give-A-Show Blog, or on the Facebook page for the Give-A-Show Projector... just in case any of your readers want to check it out!

I love the second chair. It remind me of my good old days.

Great post... If you want to check out my Flickr folder of Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman stuff, go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonknutson/sets/72157602854179292/
I'll be presenting videos from the $6M give-a-show projector in October, I believe!
