One of my great memories. When living in Detroit we always got seasons tickets for the various variety series. One year we had three and all of them had Cats. I called the main office to ask if I could get anything else. They agreed and gave me a list of replacements. Long story short we got...
Even though I posted this a long time ago in this thread - here is the other magician series - even more obscure. Hal Linden and Harry Morgan...
Blacke's Magic - 1986
OK Neal. You know me - I'm a mystery guy. So we have been watching the Hardy Boys series from Hulu. It got me to remembering series past like the Mickey Mouse Club and the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew series. It turns out there was also an animated series starting in 1969.
The Hardy Boys 1969
Hi gang. When I was a kid in the 50's this was a standard TV piece during the holidays. A big hit for Rosemary, but now forgotten.
ALL THE BEST - HAPPY HOLIDAYS-MERRY CHRISTMAS
(especially to you Neal for keeping this alive)
Some made fun of him but he did have a 3 million seller hit record "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" and he was the creator of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy (Including writing the Jeopardy theme song).

My favorite (by far) of this type of detective was The Outsider with Darren McGavin (Neal you can fill in the link ;) )

Cheers
Well, I'm back.
I had a couple of requests to see some of my magic performance... well - I just published a small e-book for magicians. For those of you that would like to see me do a little something watch the trailer and you'll briefly see my magic hands.
This is not a sales pitch. Unless...
There came along a little later in my life but both are (I think) partially responsible in making two major brands still strong today.

And to finish can you complete this jingle?
Pepsi Cola hits the spot
12 full ounces that's a lot...
Have A Great New Year...
I ran this one before but it is a favorite even though I didn't care for the cereal we loved the ad.
I Want My Maypo
There ads were from a simpler time when we weren't so sensitive. This ad is considered racist now. Go figure - I can remember not that many years ago eating in the Chinese...
Good Morning - (Good night to you Neal)
I am going on vacation so we will not be posting again for about 3 weeks. We have posted a lot of Saturday stuff so today it will be a few of my favorite commercials. There are some that stuck in my little brain. How about the rest of you - any commercials...
On the the most important day of the year (Yes my DW's birthday) here are some Christmas memories from even before my time (no not dinosaurs)
Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Highlights 1927-28-29
I wish Russ. I was there to eat.
One of the performers from Illusions was Mike Close - he is now the consultant for Penn & Tellers Fool Us. Two of the others are Chris Kenner and Homer Liwag. Both are main assistants to David Copperfield and are very very well off.
