Does anybody remember "they call it Charly"? That perfume ad
that ran for years. Or how about Hamms Beer, "From the Land of
Sky Blue Waters....", Lowenbrau Beer, "Here's to good friends
tonight is kind of special....", "It's not nice to fool with
mother nature.", "Give a hoot, don't pollute.", "Come to think
of it I'll have a Heinekin", "I could of had a V8.",
Charley Starkist Tuna, "Country Time Lemonade, tastes just
like good old fashioned lemonade.", "HUNGRY, HUNGRY JACK"...

Great Memories.....

There are tons more...list them.....

Thanks,

AJ

No, not quite....Kate Jackson was fired in May 1979. Hack was fired
becuase she wasn't very popular with audiences and because she did not
get along with Cheryl Ladd, who was quite the bitch herself that
particular season (she hated Hack and was also getting a divorce from
David Ladd.). Only Jaclyn Smith displayed Angelic traits both on and
offscreen, which is probably why she is so fondly remembered by us
Angels fans!

I always look back on those last two seasons and wish they hadn't
hired Tanya Roberts after Hack left.

"Gee your hair smells terrific" - Wasn't the shampoo actually called
"Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific"?

"Nair for short shorts" - lots of hot pants in those Nair commercials!
This was one of my favorite commercials in the mid-1970s. I guess
the name is short for 'no hair'...

Mrs. Olson was Folger's coffee, wasn't she? And Cora (played by
Margaret Hamilton - the witch in "The Wizard of Oz") was the Maxwell
House woman. Or did Maxwell House dump Cora for Mrs. Olson? Scandal!

I can remember going to the skating rink and being off the floor drinking
my "suicide" with people skating by. Girls would zip by and a great wash
of "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific!" would waft over you. They still make
it. I bought a bottle not too long ago.

Yep- it probably was everything left in the bottom of the syrup cylanders
mixed up to make us feel like we were having a mixed drink (which I guess

I was watching TV Sat. night and I happened to see a program that was
showing some old commercials . There before my eyes was my favorite
commercial of all
Life cereal with Mikey and his brother

Let Mikey try it

What was the next line?

He'll try anything or was it
He'll eat anything ????

Is the "Sky Blue Waters" ad the one with the Native American woman in the
canoe talking about maize?
Also remember the public service ads (kinda like "Schoolhouse Rock") for
kids to teach them nutrition : "The Munchies" (an anti oversnacking
jingle), "Hankering for a hunk of cheese" (Before we knew about "good"
&"bad" fats.), "Beans & Rice" (striking a victory for meat alternatives

No, this is HAMM'S BEER...remember with the HAMM'S BEAR...
the cartoon bear that goofs up all the time in front of
his other animal friends....I think you are thinking about
LAND O' LAKES BUTTER.....

Hi Marie

I think it went as follow:

"Some cereal its supposed to be good for you.
Are you going to try it. I'm not going to try it.
Let's get Mikey. Yeah! He won't eat it, He hates
everything. He likes it! He likes it! Hey Mikey...."

Now that comes from my memory which is rusting with age...
I am not positive on that one but I gave it my best shot,
If anyone knows the exact dialogue, I would like to know
myself-your question has baffled me for years...what did
they really say...???
Thanks for responding....

I'm taking this from memory myself so .....

What's that?
It's some cereal - suppose to be good for you.
You gonna try it?
I'm not gonna try it --- you try it
I'm not gonna try it.
Hey! Let's get Mikey!
Yeah!
He won't eat it - he hates everything.

Hey Mikey! He likes it!

Duane,

Something like this.....'buy a perfect sleeper, buy a perfect sleeper,
perfect sleeper. Buy Serta.' She WAS pretty cute. Dean Martin gave her
her start in t.v. The commercial must be from the late 60s.

Anyone remember the Norge commercial: "Knock on any Norge. (sound of
knocking) Knock on any Norge. Hear the solid sound of quality, knock on
any Norge. Here is why you'll be glad it's a Norge."

Hah!

It was:

"Be a perfect sleeper,
Buy a Perfect Sleeper,
Perfect Sleeper by Serta."

Perfect Sleeper was a mattress. Joey used to lie on the mattress and sing
the jingle. But she only mentioned sleeping on it. Nothing else...:-)

If you are looking for commercials from the 50s, 60s or 70s (including
some listed here-Mikey, Joey Heatherton) contact me for a large, detailed
list of commercial tapes for sale. All come in a plastic box with a full

Hee hee. That reminded me of the version we used to sing in

My President has a first name, it's J-I-M-M-Y
My President has a second name, it's C-A-R-T-E-R(we didn't care 'bout rhymes!!)

I HAVE THE NERVE....I LOVE OLIVES, SO, WHEN I WAS A KID MY MOM BOUGHT
OLIVE LOAF FOR MY SANDWICHS AT LUNCH. I USED TO PICK OUT THE OLIVES AND
EAT THEM FIRST.

MY GRANDPA USED TO EAT "HEAD CHEESE" ALL THE TIME. ALSO BLOOD SAUSAGE!
HEAD CHESSE WAS REALLY GROSS, I REMEMBER IT HAD CLEAR STUFF IN IT AND
MADE IT LOOK LIKE LITTLE WINDOWS. I'VE TRIED BOTH NOT TOO LONG AGO AND
ALTHOUGH THEY DIDN'T TASTE THAT BAD, THEY WERE LOADED WITH SALT.

They still have the campaign going. In fact, they recently completed a
nationwide search for the new Oscar Mayer kid. Every stage mom across the
country brought their kid to the try-outs (talented or not), The winner
is a little black boy who sings the song all drawn out with a full
vibrato. the ads should be out soon.

what was the name of that product that was like a P.A. system for your car
where in the commercial the guys go by the girl and say "Hey good looking
! We'll be back to pick you up later." Was it Mr. Microphone or something
else ?

What were some of the other products that were available thru this same
mail order (like Ginsu knives)?

Or you could just put your CB on PA (Public Address) and hook up an
external speaker.

Yes! SCTV did a hilarious parody of it once..."Mr. Boom Microphone." The
wimpy guy drives by with his regular hand mic and yells to the girl "Hey
good-lookin'! I'll be back to pick you up later!" and the guy with "Mr.
Boom Microphone" comes along (with another guy behind him on the street
operating the boom crane) and says "Do you want a guy like him with a
little hand-held job, or a guy like me with a big long boom?"

I remember a glass cutter that you could use to turn bottles into glasses
(of course you had to sand the cut smooth) and a machine that cleaned LP
records. Oh, and Pocket Fisherman! "Makes a great Christmas gift!"

Better than K*TEL, however, were the far superior Ronco products... like
the fruit dehydrator, the stud-maker (where you could put those groovy
beads and metal studs on your jeans), Po-Peet (the expandable
accordian-like food container), and the Pocket Fisherman... to name a few.

Yuck, ptooi! but, that reminds me of that '70s commercial for Oscar Meyer,
that took place in a town that was population 37...just enough for the 37
kinds of meat they made (one of which was Olive Loaf...that's what the guy
in the commercial asked for--he was probably the ONLY one who did!)
