Do you have the movie "Network" (1976) on DVD, like I do?

I watched Phyllis" every week when it was new, even if Judith was shown for only 5 minutes. I thought, that little old lady is carrying the whole program on her back, if something happens to her, the ratings will go down - to nothing, and I won't watch it, ever again. Was it a couple of years later, she died, I didn't look at it anymore, but it stayed on the air two more months, before it was canceled.

There was only room for TWO ready-to-eat oat cereals to "duke it out" for the affection of breakfast lovers- and "OKs" managed to find a lot of interested kids [especially when Yogi Bear started appearing on their boxes in late 1960] through the mid-1960's.

(now I barely know a Ford from a Chevy...never mind what year)Were things different then? Yeah...but mainly in the way people acted toward each other...'Courtesy' was the 'norm' then. People went out of their way to help someone w/car trouble on the side of the road...especially a woman with kids in the car. It wouldn't be more than five minutes before someone would pull-over and do whatever they could to help anywhere in the U.S. and they would be happy to do it.(since when did becoming 'savage ass-holes' to each other become 'normal?') I don't miss the 'old days', nor do I suffer from'false memory syndrome' ...but I can write in all honesty that, for the most part, American society was more 'forgiving' in the'50's and early '60's than now. And I wish those times would come back...when people were better toward each other than they are now.

The old commercials were so nice as compared to our current batch. Now we have drugs for every disease, mental illness or drug side effects. The lawyer adds are a trip, does anyone ever get money for those adds? I have only known one person who got money from a drug reaction. What happens to all that money? Sorry, it seems the products then we're not pitched to change your life, just to enhance your survival. God l wish the gentle persuasion was back in advertising. But times change , society gets more complex, and we can remember our youth. Thank Fred Flix for showing us our past imperfect! Oh human beings are so complex!!!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🌼🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌻

I remember the "Cornflakes and Strawberries" stuff--they had freeze-dried berries that turned into sort of mutant versions of strawberries when you'd add the milk. The fact it was kind of gross was, I guess, why we liked it as kids. Kids seem to like lots of strange foods. But it was better than the other weird cereal, I don't remember the name, that had freeze-dried bits of supposed ice cream. The thing that I notice about these old commercials is how long some of them seem--a whole minute. That kind of long commercial seems reserved these days for prescription drugs--20 seconds to tell you how great they are and 40 seconds to warn you of all the side effects.

@Michael Bacon - Dried Sunsweet Prunes are still available at most "supermarkets," and are processed to be much juicier than they used to be. I grew up picking/processing prunes for Sunsweet on the family farm, and the only thing better was a prune fresh off the tree! All prunes are plums, but not all plums are prunes. Ah, missing the old days. :))

@sarahgray4307 жыл бұрын
Yes, those were real strawberries....but freeze-drying them destroyed any nutrient value they would have had, and spoiled the taste and texture. They're still trying to find a way to preserve strawberries that doesn't turn them into mush....and the best method is still to make jam out of them!
@tomservo569546 жыл бұрын
The big problem was with freeze-drying technology then, the fruit wouldn't re-hydrate before the cereal got mushy. Fun story...a couple of years after this, General Foods sponsored a TV special starring Carol Channing, and she did a commercial for this cereal with Jim Nabors as his Gomer Pyle character (they sponsored his show as well). She is seen taking a spoon of the cereal....but when the director yelled CUT, she spat it out into a bucket--she is allergic to strawberries.
