| Mr. Potato Head Funny Face Kit, 1952 George Lerner, inventor |
Mr. Potato Head had plastic parts with pushpins that could be stuck into a real potato that your parents provided. Oh... the funny faces you could come up with!
Seems the government had to step in, smelling that some thing had to done, about that Mr. Potato Head!
The real potato in had to go!
There were tons of rotten potatoes, out there at the bottom of those toy boxes, just a reeking for the change.
This commercial is from the 1970s....long after Hasbro added the plastic head.
Mr. Potato Head
is still available to buy....children everywhere still enjoy his company.
I LOVE.... Post Raisin Bran

Say The Secret Word
As a child I remember watching Groucho! How about you? I asked a young man just the other day, do you know who Grouch Marx is?
30 + years and
he had never heard of my man Groucho! So here is a rerun....think I missed this one..... you might have too. This episode is from February 9, 1956.
Yes.... Groucho from The Marx Brothers fame of the movies from a decade or two before this....hosted a honest to goodness game show in the 50s.
"You Bet Your Life" Starring Groucho Marx....was a well loved program where Groucho would show off his wit and charm, trying to get the contestants to say the word of the day.
The first contestant to play 'You bet your life' on this showing, is a Mrs. Helen Schwartz, the mother of movie star Tony Curtis. The word for the day for this program was....door.

"Dollar a Second"
Today's gem, that I found in the public domain, hails from January, 1955.
This is complete with commercials, I embedded it just the way, I found it.
Hope you enjoy your glimpse, into the past.
Have a great day and your comments are very much welcome.

The 64 Million $ Question
The season premiere show opens with Dean Martin as Hal April, the host of The $64,000,000 Question. Jerry Lewis plays returning champ Morty M.M. Morton who, against his will, is risking his winnings for more cash. Once he survives a ridiculously hard question in the isolation booth, he's ready for the $64,000,000 question.
This program aired on September 18, 1955 and went on to be called The Colgate Variety Hour.
