Fact:

In the mid-70's, no man had nicer hair than Glen Campbell.

I hated wearing turtlenecks:

I never liked wearing turtlenecks. The feel of them always bothered me, like my shirt was trying to strangle me.... Although I have to say they looked great on Maureen.

True:

I had a T-shirt with the above pic, back around 1980. I wore that thing all the time. Just shows the 80's weren't SO bad..

Yeah right...

The above is a pic from The Partridge Family, showing how the bus got its new paint job. But any novice could tell it was a factory job. No way could someone, especially a kid, get all those lines so straight (although I admit I fell for it, I mean when you're 4 years old, you'll believe anything)...

In 1977:

When the song "You're still the one" by Orleans was at the height of its popularity, ABC took it for their advertising campaign. I remember mom used to laugh when the song came on the radio (Orleans not ABC) and they'd sing the line: "you're still the one who can scratch my itch"... I still, to this day, couldn't figure out what was so funny about it...

Fact:

During the Carter administration, his daughter Amy got alot of bad press. She just wasn't liked, for some reason. I really don't know why, I don't recall her getting into any trouble or anything. Poor Amy, she just never got a decent break with anyone.

Verb: That's what's happenin':

I can question like: What is it?

(Verb, you're so demanding.)

I can order like: Go get it!

(Verb, you're so commanding.)

When I hit I need an object

(Verb, hit! Hit the ball!)

When I see, I see the object

(Do you see that furthest wall?)

If you can see it there, put the ball over the fence, man!

Go ahead. Yeah, alright.

What?! He hit it. It's going, it's going, it's gone!

(What!)

Let me guess:

Either Greg just wiped out on a coral reef with his surfboard, or he just said "stinker". Either way, it looks pretty bad...

Nellie Olsen...

... had a face only a mother could love...

Random:

The above is from the 1964 TV Guide, when they aired the first showing of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer.

True:

In 1977, when Pop Rocks candy first came on the scene, there was a rumor that if you ate these and drank soda at the same time, your stomach would explode....

Random:

When you're a kid and you're afraid, hallways seem longer.

I remember:

The Bic Banana commercials. I do believe that's Charles Nelson Reilley (sp?) as the teacher. To this day I can't figure out why Bic called these pens "bananas".

I was just thinking about:

Tom and Helen Willis. Back in 1976 when The Jeffersons first debuted, I don't think there was another interracial couple on any prime time television show before. Sure Kirk made out once with Lt. Uhura on Star Trek, but even they never made it a lifestyle and became a family unit...
For the record, I forgot all about the other Lionel.

Random:

Bewitched had one of the best openers. I loved the cartoon. And the first Darren was way better than the second one. But that's just me..

Random:

My favorite character on Bewitched was Endora. She was a classy gal, although I wouldn't want to get on her bad side.. Btw, judging by the look on Samantha's face, I'd love to know what she just did...

In my opinion:

Carrie got a raw deal. Just sayin'.

I was just thinking about:

The Ty-D-Bol Man. He was the guy who used to go boating in people's toilets. Just once it would've been so cool to see someone flush the toilet on him, but it never happened. The whole ad campaign seems so ridiculous in hindsight, but back then we didn't really think anything of it. I suppose I could've spent more time looking for decent pics, but really it's just a dude in a toilet..
On a side-note, it's amazing how much that guy looks like Mitt Romney..
