I do not know what triggered this memory. Maybe it was the mention of posts relating to beach activities coupled with a reference to Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. The memory is of a cartoon which appeared in the New Yorker in the 1960s or early 1970s. The cartoon was likely by Feiffer or Silverstein. I have tried in vain to find it online. A pale, skinny young man has gone to the beach and spots a lovely girl on a blanket reading a book. He tries to engage her by commenting on her reading Proust. She tells him to "blow" after which she races off with a young and tanned student of George Jewett or Charles Atlas. The young man dejectedly declares "It's going to be a long hot summer."

LOL Thenryb you haven;t been here a really long time, in the past many of us have given a lot more than 3 or 4 clues LOL. Actually there's Chiffon, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and Parkay did a lot of funny commercials many decades ago. Unfortunately, none of us seem to be able to recognize the one in this question, so I agree the answer should probably just be given, besides this question has been hanging around for over 2 weeks and that's a no-no
Oh I know there have been lots of margarine commercials and I have suffered through all of them. I did not describe all of my search efforts but I tried the ones you mentioned as well as others like Imperial and Blue Bonnet. I mentioned Chiffon because I actually found a commercial with Mother Nature talking to some hapless customer in a supermarket.

Tomw will be a week since you posted this clue. Maybe a clue about the actress and or what decade the commercial was in
I have tried to Google this and all I get searching "actress making margarine commercials" is the Chiffon stuff (not nice to fool mother nature). Terrance has really given lots of clues and it seems like the answer would come to mind but apparently not.

Lawyers, Judges and legal procedures generally strike me as being the most unrealistically depicted matters in movies and on television. There are a few exceptions to this, Anatomy of a Murder and Better Call Saul to name a couple.

Up till then, I don't think I fully realized just how well the body could literally draw everything into itself to protect itself from the cold...
It is not only cold which can cause that. I visit to a urologist can leave one with two navels

This came as a surprise to me. I never heard that Piper Laurie was supposed to be in that movie. I'll go ahead and give this you , Thenryb. I was thinking of her replacing Lana Turner in "Anatomy of a Murder".
Well, this makes me question my own answer. Upon reflection, I am not at all sure Piper Laurie was ever supposed to be in the movie. She and Cliff Robertson starred in the Playhouse 90 production on TV, but that does not mean Lee Remick "replaced" her in the movie anymore than Jack Lemmon "replaced" Cliff Robertson. Clearly, Remick replaced Lana Turner in Anatomy of a Murder.
I guess I will go ahead and accept your gift of the thread just to keep it going.
The movie I have in mind is a post Civil War western. The lead character is a sheriff in a New Mexico town who is called upon to arrest an old friend suspected of a bank robbery who has newly arrived in town. Name the movie and the lead actor.

Just to clarify for the future, you can't ever do pictures, or you just can't/don't want to this time? It's okay if you can't/don't want to, as Princess and Lavender can't do them either. I just like to know who can/can't do them (I know Miles, shutoo, and Rich can)
Please consider me in the same category as Princess and Lavender.

Another fine description of this episode. Watching these particular episodes as well as some older episodes of this series has led me to the conclusion that I much prefer John McEntire as the wagon master to Ward Bond. He brings a certain subtlety to the character which is a contrast to the emoting of Bond. I have not yet heard him yell "Wagons Ho!".
Another thing I have noticed in watching these episodes is the blatant racism which seems primarily confined to one sex depending on the sex of the story subject. If it is an Native American or Mexican man, the men are the primary xenophobes with the women exhibiting more tolerance. With this show, it is the women who are narrow minded and judgmental, mostly it seems because Caroline continues to wear moccasins.

I am sure he has but no recollection of when. I think he was RO's favorite actor.

From my vantage point your very honest and introspective study of yourself, is more moral and adult and deserves to be read, than many posts that are immaturely titillating yet would not be condemned to the junk heap due to being seen as the typical bawdy comment but deep down are much more salacious in nature. Thanks for sharing such an incisive commentary on what is it like to grow up male in our society.
I second that comment. I especially appreciated his self-analysis of why many men do not like watching man on man sexual behavior. I laughed at his description of preadolescent male behavior in school bathroom. I recall competitions to see who could stand furthest back from the urinal and still reach it, which resulted in so many misses that the principal came into the classroom, excused the girls, talked about the odor in the boys bathroom, and exhorted all of us to stop such competitions. Also amusing was the way he described the behavioral changes when we reached puberty, although back in my day "f*g" was a slang term for a cigarette, and homosexuals were called "queers". I think this "self-analysis" rings true with many of us.

When I was a kid there was a sports reporter on a local TV station. He disappeared and I later began seeing him in movies and on TV in bit parts. His name was Owen Bush and here he is:
