For years, Ajax laundry detergent's slogan was that the product was "stronger than dirt".
In 1963, Colgate-Palmolive introduced a live-action mascot for Ajax, a white knight on a matching white horse, whose lance represents the cleaning power of the product.
80's icon Nicholas Colasanto, who was mostly a director during the 60's before Cheers made him a folk hero, appears here. Dick Tufeld is the announcer.
The Three Stooges are a trio of veterinarians entrusted with a valuable dog whose owner has anxiety issues, especially since the dog gets kidnapped right out from under the boys' noses.
Portions of "Calling All Curs" were later used in "Stop, Look, & Laugh", and in Jump 'n' The Saddle's "Curly Shuffle":
It wasn't enough that ABC had expanded General Hospital & One Life to Live to 45 minutes. By the winter of 1978, both joined All My Children in a hour-long format that would remain to the present, even though General is the only one left.
Ernie Anderson narrates this promo.
This is how bad the paranoia is within the GOP.
They wanted Bad Bunny investigated for possible violations of language and content in his Spanish language concert last week at the Super Bowl.
Turning Point USA stages a counter-concert with has-been rap-rocker Kid Rock, gets about 5 million views on YouTube in 24 hours, nowhere near the 128 million that tuned in for Bad Bunny. TPUSA would think that Donnie Diapers turned on them, but then, they should know by now that the Vicar of Vanity needs something to complain about.
Digression over. The FCC ruled late in the week that, nope, Bad Bunny did nothing wrong. Not even the corrupt chairman, Brendan Carr, could see things the GOP's way, and pursue the case. Game over.
Emboldened by the 5 million+ views on YouTube, TPUSA is planning another show for next year. So which has-been will headline this time? Ted Nugent? Lee Greenwood?
Reality will soon set in. The meltdown, as usual, will be fun to watch.
We're closing out our Valentine's Day celebration with this offering from I've Got a Secret:
Legendary Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus clown Emmett Kelly is getting married, and the panel (Bill Cullen, Jayne Meadows, Henry Morgan, & Faye Emerson) have to guess the identity of his bride-to-be. Plus, special guest George Gobel plays a running gag throughout the show.
Every now and again, the Three Stooges would be given romantic interests. In 1941's "In The Sweet Pie & Pie", however, the boys are manipulated into a triple wedding by a conniving lawyer (an uncredited Richard Fiske) to help three socialites collect an inheritance. The boys have been accused of crimes they apparently didn't commit, and are subject to be hanged, but, oh, is that shyster about to find out the truth.......
From season 1 of I Dream of Jeannie:
On impulse, Jeannie (Barbara Eden) transports Tony (Larry Hagman) to ancient Persia. Chaos erupts, of course. Richard Kiel & Henry Corden guest star, with the latter as Jeannie's father.
