Quaker Oats was a primary sponsor of Bewitched in its early years, leading to plenty of in-show commercials, like this one, which introduced Aunt Jemima syrup. Not sure if this is from season 3 or 4.
Prefaced with a sponsor tag with an animated Darrin holding a box of Life cereal (voiceover by Gary Owens):
Today, of course, Aunt Jemima was rebranded as the Pearl Milling Company, and Quaker sold off much of the products to Pinnacle Brands.
For all the whining over the Jests & Giants playing in New Jersey, yet representing New York, the whining stopped for at least a week after the two teams, and Buffalo, all won their openers. The Bills had a thriller with Houston before winning, 36-31. The Jets spoiled former coach Robert Saleh's debut with Tennessee, 23-10, and the Giants stunned Dallas, 28-20.
Now, we'll see if all three make the playoffs........
In Cleveland, 1st year coach Todd Monken is sticking with DeShaun Watson, despite the Browns getting spanked on Sunday. Seems to me that Monken needs to swap out the blinders in exchange for one of these......
Just sayin'.
Chicago dropped 59 on Carolina, which may be a portent of things to come for the reigning NFC North champs.
Pundits are having fun with the fact that president Trump threw his support behind fellow geriatric dimbulb Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, so of course the Cowboys lost. Nah. Trump doesn't know football any more than Stephen A. Smith does, and we'll leave it at that.
The Yankees, barring a collapse in the next couple of weeks, will be in the playoffs. The Mets? Not so much, but you couldn't tell from the way these two teams have gotten after it in the Subway Series.
The Mets won 2 of 3 at Citi Field in May, and have split the first two games this weekend at Yankee Stadium after blowing out Gerrit Cole and the Bombers, 12-2, earlier today. Dating back to 2024, Cole has been abused by the Mets in three consecutive starts. Ouch, babe!
Check the video.
Tomorrow, the Yanks will have Cam Schlittler on the mound to try to salvage a split of the series against the Mets' Christian Scott. This should be fun.
I was at work. I had gone to the break room, and someone had left the TV on. Like everyone else, I was stunned to see the World Trade Center destroyed.
We all know what's happened since, even though Pecos Donald (Donald Trump) is changing the story of his experience, largely because of his advanced age.
Following is a video from National Geographic's YouTube channel:
Earlier this year, Stephen Colbert had Texas Senate candidate James Talarico on his Late Show, but the interview was booted to YouTube due to bullying from FCC head scumbag Brendan Carr, misusing his authority in service to president Trump. Something about the equal time regulations, but misinterpreted by the GOP.
Now, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel will have Talarico on his show, but Kimmel announced on Wednesday that the interview would air on YouTube. Carr and the FCC have been bullying ABC for months, mostly because they don't like the anti-Trump commentary.
Deal with it, turds! It's called free speech!
This is more about protecting Talarico's opponent, Texas DA Ken-L Ration Paxton, and keeping Talarico off national airwaves as much as possible. This is wrong. With the baggage Paxton has, the GOPers are afraid he'll lose, and would rather misuse the FCC to block Talarico.
If there was a way to boot Carr from the FCC, and block Trump from hiring another toady to take his place, things change. As it is, Carr gets the Weasel ears for abusing his authority. Kimmel's pre-emptive action will draw more eyeballs to his YouTube channel, and, there's not thing one Carr can do about it.
