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.

^^^^^^^
Is that what I think it is (i.e. all kinds of soda mixed together ...
coke, orange, root beer, 7-up, etc. ..)

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
we were, huh?).
>"Afro-Sheen"...sponsored "The Sooooouuuulll Train", It's slinky, it's

I think it went: It's Slinky
It's Slinky
That wonderful, wonderful toy
It's Slinky
It's Slinky
Everyone knows it's Slinky!

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
everywhere!!) Beth
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!

This made me think of one of my favorites.

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...:-)
>: Let Mikey try it
Mikey was another child actor supposed to have died in one horrible
accident or another (the Beaver, Eddie Munster, Jody from Family
Affair) who turned out to have just gotten older like everyone else.

"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!

>>"Gee your hair smells terrific" - Wasn't the shampoo actually called

What I rember most about that product was Elayne Boosler saying "Don't you
hope these people never make a feminine hygiene product?"

What about mrs brady doing oil commercials?
What is Wessonality? Maybe we ought to ask greg.
Did that spray hair cleaner make it into the 70's?..

My bologna has a first name, it's 0-S-C-A-R
My bologna has a second name, it's M-E-Y-E-R
Oh I love to eat it everyday
And if you ask me why, I'll saaaaay
That Oscar Meyer has a way
with B-O-L-O-G-N-A
How's that?
"Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener
That is what I'd truly like to be-ee-ee
For if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener
Everyone would be in love with me!"
BTW - Does anyone here have the *NERVE* to admit to having eaten and or
liking Olive Loaf?

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!!)
Oh, I love to trash him every day

I only like Olive Loaf as an adult; couldn't stand it as a kid. I
guess I just weird! Haven't had it in a few years, but now that you
mention it, I may have to run to the grocery store during lunch....

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.
Devane (future stage mom)
What were some of the other products that were available thru this same
mail order (like Ginsu knives)?
Devane
Mr. Microphone it was!
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!"
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!)
