Believe it or not, I still have Blaze, excellent condition, plus another than could be used for parts. Had the DJ game, talking pull string Cecil.

    Fred - awesome cavalcade of commercials from the early 1960's. I remember most of 'em. I always liked the Flintstones Winston commercials, still do. Makes me smile too, recalling Khigh Diegh's brainwashing dissertation in the 1962 movie "The Manchurian Candidate". "We've taken the liberty of making an interesting substitution for our guests' smoking materials - yak dung. Tastes good, like a cigarette should. Ha ha ha ha ha....". Thanks for a great return to the early 1960's Fred - always appreciated. You are the Time Machine we Baby Boomers so desperately need in this post-millennial era. :-)

      Hi@@jackmorgan8931,
      Never heard of another person that smoked 5 packs a days. I knew of Old Barney a ships Captain, 'til in his early 90's, smoked 4 large or 5 small packs (100 cigs) a day. We called him a "one match a day fella", because he would just continuously light one cigarette from another, (though I found out his first smoke of the day, when ashore, was from his home gas stove. Heard he kept some wax coated strike anywhere Satan matches when asea by his bunk). Claimed he started smoking at about 12 years of age. Always wondered how it were even possible for ones lungs to function with so much old tar, ( no pun intended) built up. Sorry to hear about your dad Jack, he was a young man...mine too died young. He rarely dabbled with cig., pipe 'n cigar. More of a gum chewer.
      Hey 🔴FredFlix, Lots of Us Were GUM Chewers back in the day, weren't we? Remember GRAPE flavoured stick gum, or purple THRILLS 5 cents a pack (that Moms said tasted like soap), or of course the black BlackCat bubble gum? Oops sorry, old man rambling. 🤣👋SEE'YA.

    Those were simpler times toys by Mattel and the kids had fun with them. They certainly didn't complain they had fun & the kids were content. They certainly weren't asking for devices or cell phones they knew how to have fun. Cigarette commercials in those days TV commercials promoted smoking, because there you see Fred & Wilma Flintstone smoking there Winstons. But my favorite cigarette commercial was Marlboro. The sign of masculinity with the tough Marlboro Man. The slogan was " Come To Marlboro Country. " Fred , I hope that later on you show those commercials, because I always thought that the theme to those commercials were cool. I'm not certain but I think Duane Eddy did an instrumental version of the Marlboro song with his Twangy Guitar.

    In '98, I was contracted to a "Capital Cities" station, which was having problems "going fully digital"; they also were in the midst of preparing for their 50th anniversary, part of that prep, was the making of a '50th anniversary retrospective look back to their 1948 roots'. They played 'hell' finding good, clean recorded copies of any of that original programming. The station was very good to its employees, many donated several hours of their time, in search of that copy.
    (What lies below, pertains to stations representing all three networks)
    Please, trust me, when I tell you that 'there isn't a lot of well archived material' out there; CBS Television has the lion's share of that which is left. Bill Paley drove home the need to keep an intact, and cataloged library of their programming for posterity.
    I'd seen approximately 30 reels of 2-inch VTR tape, which was precious, as it contained "General Electric College Bowl" programs, which aired Saturday afternoons. Of that 30, four were useable, as magnetic degradation took its toll many years before their eventual discovery. We attempted to save the audio on many of those files, but failed.

What they DIDN'T tell you was that they PAID for those surveys over the years, and made sure all 113,597 {or so} doctors were sent FREE SAMPLES of Camels BEFORE they answered those surveys. Now what do YOU think the answer they gave the question "What cigarette do YOU smoke, Doctor?" was?

One 4th of July me and a couple of pals sat the Cathy up against a tree, extended her arms and placed an M-80 firecracker on her arms. It blew her eyes back into her head so they rattled when you shook the doll. One of her arms was crooked and disjointed and the other arm was lying by itself about 15 feet from the blast site. We never laughed so hard in our lives. Naturally we gave Cathy a good Christian burial behind the garage. My sister never heard of any of it. Gosh those were fun days.

    • @jbgroup1
      @jbgroup1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Actually the removal of cigarette commercials from television was supported by cigarette companies to combat the equal time regulations used by anti-smoking organizations in the mid to late sixties to combat cigarette ads. Cigarette sale started falling in the 1960's and accelerated during the aforementioned period. After cigarette ads went off television cigarette sales went up to their highest levels and peaked around 1977 until falling again in the 1980's. What many people do not realize is that cigarette ads did not target new customers but sought to switch current smokers. This was another reason cigarette makers supported removing television ads.

    "THE FLINTSTONES" were originally sponsored by R.J. Reynolds {Winston} and Miles Laboratories {Alka-Seltzer, One-A-Day} during its first two seasons. The cast appeared in integrated commercials for both.
    "CALVIN AND THE COLONEL" was primarily sponsored by Lever Brothers {Pepsodent, Stripe, Handy Andy, Imperial, et. al.} during tits sole season on ABC. Lever's "RInso" originally sponsored "THE AMOS 'N' ANDY SHOW" on radio [which "CALVIN" was adapted from] during the 1940's.
    "MATTY'S FUNNIES WITH BEANY AND CECIL" was sponsored by Mattel Toys during its 1962 prime-time showcase on ABC. When it was repeated on ABC's Sunday morning schedule from 1963 through '65, it was "BEANY AND CECIL" (for various advertisers).
    "TENNESSEE TUXEDO AND HIS TALES" was always sponsored by General Mills {even in later syndicated editions}. During the CBS years (1963-'66), Deluxe Reading's Topper Toys was a co-sponsor.

    Give me real 100% butter anytime over grungy margarine. The first ingredient is water and vegetable oil and all sorts of chemicals. My late father insisted we buy margarine instead of butter and butter is better for you. After he passed away we staryed buying.butter and I have a five year old nephew who has eaten it all of his life. My.brother in law bought Shedd Spread once and he tried it and said "Nasty." He's right.

      At that time, the dairy industry frowned upon butter being directly compared with margarine, so it was “the high-priced spread,” “the 70-cent spread,” “Nature’s own spread,” etc.
