Pikers. You should go back and see the cast of LAUGH IN.
Or father back to see the cast of THE GARY MOORE SHOW,
Or farther back to see THE MILTON BERLE SHOW.

I could go farther back but we did not have a TV before then.

And do you remember THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS?

Don’t Look Back In Anger. You can find it on YouTube.

Yeah, that’s true.

Never saw much of that show. Mostly we got Muppets, Mash, and Donnie and Marie on the AFRTs.

“Bass-O-Matic”

Is that something like the POPEPEL Pocket Fisherman?
(And it Really-really-works!)

Yes indeed, or TW3 as it was also called. My dad never missed an episode, though I didn't pay much attention at age 11.

No, Dan had a blender that they’d stuck some goofy stickers on that said “Bassomatic”. Him, doing an excellent impersonation of a late night TV salesman, proceeded to tout the advantages of preparing your bass in a Bassomatic. He put a bass in the blender, pulverized it, then drank it!

Kind of like a wet version of FISH FLOUR from the 1960s.

If Eddie Murray had been with them it would have been timeless.

And that's not even season 1. Bill Murray replaced Chevy Chase.

Everytime I think about wringer washers the old saying my dad used whenever a woman would get upset about something - “Well, she must have gotten her t** caught in the wringer”. Think today’s version would probably have something to do with getting one’s tricots in a bind - although lots of people don’t know what tricot was - or today’s version of “undies in a bunch”.

Made a list not long ago of things I have grown up with since 1940 which my grandchildren will never know anything about unless I happen to share it with them. List was three typed single spaced pages long.

BTW the wringer washer was a huge modern addition to our house but my mom still washed my dad’s overalls on a washboard in a tub and wrung them out by hand. She really felt the “new” machine didn’t get things really clean.

I remember seeing them in the Basement...but to my knowledge my mother never actually used any of them.

we had a small unheated...room..built off the basement...that wasnt part of the basement to keep stored food in but I cant remember what they called it
