Groucho saves me most days from being sad .. he is a never fail solution ‼️

Another terrific show. This is the first late one I've watched . . . Dare I say, we may be witnessing social change even here, so imagine what we've seen our lifetimes . .

What An Intertaining Program. So Many Were Broadcast In The 1950's While I Was Growing Up With My Loving Parents & Late Brother. Thank U, Ken Freitas Merry Xmas.

[@fonso1030]

Look at the manners these contestants had. The young girl was so poised and elegant, even the way people stood was different.

[@robinjohnson8149]

People weren't on speed like nowadays.

[@acousticshadow4032]

Indeed. Nowadays, going out in public is like walking onto the set of the Jerry Springer Show.

[@mattmexor2882]

Hmm, I dunno, I think that was her outward appearance. In terms of her psychology and viewpoint I have a feeling she's closer to today's youths than you might think.

[@janepatterson6779]

Such elegance...people are slobs now OR to tight of clothes. CANNOT STAND T-shirts on girls, women now.

[@janepatterson6779]

@@acousticshadow4032 HAH..TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN, Shadow!!!!

[@stevenjohnson7442]

That young girl was absolutely fantastic! 16...more like 26. So mature, polite,well spoken at 16.

[@henrybrowne7248]

I agree. Gorgeous, innocent, got in some good lines and comebacks at Groucho.

[@brucereynolds7009]

Groucho making reference to GBS in relation to the Fabian Society shows the depth of his knowledge.

[@gordonward537]

I agree that this young lady was beautiful and her innocence of life is a tribute !!!

[@henrybrowne7248]

Was she ever.

[@dafinker3443]

What happened to the human race ??? These people are polite well dressed and seem so decent ‼️ No tattoos no smirking and have ambition .

[@janepatterson6779]

What is it with tattoos now..not attractive at all.

[@karlpiepenburg3157]

On the other hand, the first male contestant had little ambition. And tattoos have nothing to do with it

[@m42037]

We as Caucasian's lost so much of our European culture today. Go to Europe i been there many times before the pandemic and most women (over 30) still wear skirts and dresses! Here they're fat and in stretch pants and many even with no make-up!!! Ahh 😠 discusting

[@voxtango1916]

The so-called "Great Society," "Immigration Act of 1965," "Affirmative Action," etc. all combined to undermine a once truly superb culture.

[@NoosaHeads]

What happened to society? Democrat degeneracy. Absolutely nothing else.

[@bcarroll7317]

Grouchos show makes me smile from start to finish

[@BNatoAk]

Groucho was sooo ahead of his time!!

[@RonGreeneComedian]

I'm old enough to remember having watch Groucho on TV in the 50s. What amazed me as a kid,even in the 50s, was that everybody in the audience was well dressed. They wore what we in the south called our "Sunday clothes," or as the old-timers referred to as our "Sunday go to meetin' clothes."😂

[@f1kissfanf1]

They dressed for airplane trip as well. Traveled coach lately? Not enough car air fresheners for descent...

[@martinjones5965]

of the 121 shows I've watched to this point this interaction between Groucho and the 2 ladies was the funniest so far.

[@henrybrowne7248]

121, aye? I'm trying not to get addicted to this wonderful program. It's inevitable . . I'll catch up to you.

[@fonso1030]

“Scratch myself? No.” 😂😂😂 Groucho was the greatest

[@m42037]

I wonder is Groucho and George were very angry at Chrysler for halting production of the Desoto's? They sure were beautiful cars!!

[@henrybrowne7248]

Yeah, 1961 was their last year. Wikipedia talks a little about their demise . . Not completely clear why to me, but evidently it's happened to many models. I don't know if that was the reason the show ended this year.

[@ironhorse1962]

Being a trucker for the last 38 years,I knew every town on this snd last episode.

[@bobstuckrath1805]

The Mrs. Housing Development USA contestant, Audrey Kaufman, of Amarillo, Texas, has my vote for the all-around best-shaped human being.

[@aaronz7056]

I wonder what ever happened to her?

[@henrybrowne7248]

She looked a lot like a cross between Liz Taylor and Linda Carter . . . Maybe another one even closer, but she looked familiar.

[@papagen00]

​@@aaronz7056 Her husband off'ed her for insurance money.

[@Jamedia66]

Well, that just restored my faith in humanity... Until it ended and I was reminded of the cesspool of degenerate "social justice" that we currently live in. Man, I miss my whole family that has since passed. Till we meet again.

[@SelfReflective]

I'd rather have social justice than the carnage of Vietnam. How many people have been killed because you can't use the N word anymore?

[@axiomist4488]

I cant believe there was NO reaction at all when the lady came out in her bathing suit. She was stunning ! Groucho was very nice, not making any comments.

[@Riogi]

I agree with you. Women back then were so naturally beautiful and elegant. Even the way she walked out and posed was amazing! I wonder what became of her.

[@RedTango]

The 16 year old lady looks at least 30 by today's standards..interesting how similar adults and teens dressed, the two ladies here could both be wearing the same thing (although one dress is a little shorter), but same hair, jewelry, etc..today's teens and older dress like kids.

[@sweiland75]

I have been watching YBYL episodes here, lately, and I've noticed the same thing. A couple of the teenage girls I mistakenly thought were twice their age.

[@MrMenefrego1]

@Brian You sir, are 100% CORRECT! God Bless Christian America.

[@sidhayes6168]

@Brian You are funny. Keep talking.

[@m42037]

We lost our European culture here 30 years ago. Go to Europe most women aren't fat, stretch pants wearing slops. They're still beautiful

[@jessewolf6806]

There are NO standards today.

The teacher may not have known the towns but today I doubt most students could have answered the questions she asked Groucho.

[@MrJamespeyton]

Judy would be about my age, born 1944.

[@tomitstube]

love groucho, the man was an institution.

Did anyone else get the George Bernard Shaw reference?

[@kevincramer9235]

Yes.

[@alfredroberthogan5426]

Loved that "shout out" by Groucho Marx to Fabian Socialism in the UK (which almost all of us would be vastly better off with). I had barely ever heard of Fabian the singer though. George Bernard Shaw was a great writer-pacifist-socialist-feminist-thinker. One of my favorite GBS quotes: Two percent of people think, three percent think they think, and 95 percent would rather die than think.

[@stanochocki8984]

@@alfredroberthogan5426 Except that Georgie Shaw was a vast contradiction in reality....many people have over the years quipped that while Yes, Shaw was a 'bit' of a feminist--only so long as they weren't around him,....and when they were...were rendered so that HE looked smarter....a Pacifist who would have 'rolled' over for Hitler and Stalin...and a Socialist---so long as the Socialist controlled all thought....Ergo--a real P.T Barnum piece of Humbug....LoL..

[@allexx123]

That teacher figured taking the category of small states going to be simple, where is her teaching license ?

[@auletjohnast03638]

allex123, Actually, the category was cities and small towns of the U.S.A.

“hypothesis” for “hypotenuse” ? and those were considered close? I guess Groucho woke up on the right side of the bed that day.

[@StabbingKnifes]

I think the fact that the man was unemployed for 8 months made them a bit more lenient

[@parsonscarlson7984]

@@StabbingKnifes Actually, you can just hear an offstage voice (probably the judge) say "Close enough." By the way, how do you hang a hypothesis? With a hypotenuse, of course!

[@georgemanford8118]

This episode featured the last of the Ms. Housing Development contestant. Fenneman says the winner would be selected in two weeks which would have been episode #60-25 that aired on March 23, 1961. I cannot located that episode anywhere. Does anybody know who actually won the Ms. Housing Development contest?

[@mattmexor2882]

Mrs. Housing Development...

Hopefully, not the least developed.

[@henningandersen9027]

Has Groucho been operated or why has he lost weight?

I suspect they should have chosen a different category eg. anything they knew something about eg. dematology.

There sure was! But remember all the contestants have been briefed beforehand and it's a big strain to remember your lines. Groucho ad libs all the time.

They shoulda had a dunce cap on hand for her. She certainly deserved it.

[@Daniel-nf8pp]

Well you both cute chicks.

[@greglauer]

Well...there were times when the teenager looked at the schoolteacher like she had a bad odor or something. Pretty disrespectful.

[@Ali.Shlaibeq]

Greg Lauer Timestamp? I didn’t:t notice anything.

[@tomitstube]

the one i noticed was her wincing when groucho called both of them "chicks". she wasn't being disrespectful.

[@mattmexor2882]

​@@tomitstube She was being disrespectful... "What? Her a chick?! She's old!" Of course it's true, but the flattery went over her head and she didn't have the self-control to react in a less disrespectful manner. And no, Groucho wasn't trying to highlight the age of the schoolteacher by dubiously calling her young. Of course if you apply current feminist logic to the whole thing then you might think that the girl was offended that he'd use a "derogatory term". That's an analysis out of place, time, and context, but in any case if that were the case she'd have given the dirty look to Groucho not to the schoolteacher, wouldn't she? The girl also gave a dirty look when Groucho said "it's not a bad night's work for a little girl who's going steady". She doesn't see beyond herself very well.

[@GeorgeSwift-qj1ik]

Groucho can be obnoxious at times. And comes off as a dirty old man, at times.
