Well, because of my devotion to to my fellow netters (and a shocking lack of
anything better to do---get away from me kid, I'll feed you later!) I actually
watched Susan Lucci's commercial about 5 times (I had it on tape with a show
I recorded) and would like to give you a (somewhat) accurate description of it.
This is for those of you who haven't seen it; if you have, you can skip the
rest of this:
The scene opens with shots of SL acting: she screams at some guy "Get out
of my life!" and slaps him; she slams down a phone; she throws a vase on the
floor, smashing it. Then the camera cuts to SL on a "set" with a director's
chair with her name on it. She is wearing a gorgeous evening gown, jewelry,
lots of makeup and black opera gloves (over the elbow). She walks over to a
table (taking a break) saying "A lot of people don't believe this, but there's
a sweet side to me" (She reaches the table. There is a big crew worker there
drinking coffee, and as she talks she slaps him in the stomach with a glove,
which she has taken off. He chokes on his coffee and doubles over, out of the
picture). She continues: "It's called Sweet one--its the only sweetener I'll
use. No saccharin, no Nutra sweet (she sips coffee)just great sweet taste.
You can even bake with it (Big smile). Oh, with
sweet one I've got everything I want. (Drops smile, gets furious look on her
face) EXCEPT THAT EMMY! (Starts pounding on the table) What does a person
have to do around here to get an Emmy?!" Camera pans to the product.
I just reread that...it really doesn't begin to do justice to how funny
the commercial is; truly one of those "ya gotta see it" things. But, if
you don't get to at least that is the basic idea.

I have seen the commercial and I must admit that you really must see it to truly appreciate the humor in it. I have seen the commercial run during
the Magnum re-runs on WGN out of Chicago (in case you happen to be in the
midwest) so if you get the chance, watch the commercial instead for
searching past it on your VCR's.

Forget about Susan Lucci's commercial -- I saw one with Sloan !!
That's right, Palmer's butler has gone bigtime, acting as a butler
in a commercial.
Sorry, I don't remember the product. My girlfreind tapes DOOL, and
it was on during that show.
