MilesArcher Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Very good, Lavender. You got 9 out of 10. The first one was the toughest because it goes way back to the fifties. Eddie Fisher had a nightly 15 minute show sponsored by Coca-Cola. It was even called "Coke Time". Their slogan at that time was "At Home, At Work, Or On The Way". You can here that line in a commercial about 9 minutes into this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPSr9Afx2-o Nice work, Lavender. You get to go next.

lavenderblue19 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thanks Miles Even though this series was a big hit it was cancelled in the '60's after 36 episodes. Name of the show ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I will guess "He And She". It starred Richard Benjamin and his wife, Paula Prentiss. Jack Cassidy had a role that served as a model for the later Ted Baxter character on MTM in the seventies. It was cancelled because of bad ratings, but it received Emmy nominations for it's three stars and it's writers. It may have suffered from having a bad time slot. It was a somewhat sophisticated comedy that was telecast right after "Green Acres". In those days, there were few remote controls and people tended to leave the TV on one channel through several shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Good guess, but a different show. This one had GREAT ratings, it was a top rated show. The theme music was a huge hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess of Tap Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 This question Make Me Feel So Young - - One of the few times I get to say that I was too young to remember this show. Alan Hale jr., who was Casey Jones to me on classic TV, apparently was somebody else before that. Starring in Biff Baker, USA, Alan Hale fought the Cold War single-handedly in the very early early fifties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 That's right, Princess. I have an episode of it on a DVD, guest-starring Charles Bronson as a Soviet agent. Your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Before there was Barbie, there was another beautiful young lady fashion doll to the Delight of little girls in the 1950s. Reportedly, this doll was modeled after a beautiful Hollywood actress who also co-starred in an early 1950s TV series. We need the name of the actress, her early TV series and, of course, the name of that beautifully coiffed and sophisticated doll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I was waiting to see if someone else was going to answer, guess not , so Barbara Britton the tv show was Mr. and Mrs. North ??

Princess of Tap Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Lav, you can have it but the centerpiece of this question is The Revlon Doll. Barbara Britton, of course, being the spokesperson for the Revlon Cosmetic Company on television in the nineteen-fifties, who the doll was modeled after. The Revlon Doll was a beautiful plastic sophisticated woman made by the famous Ideal Company, larger than Barbie--made from exact proportions. She was life-like; I always thought Barbie looked like a mannequin. She had perfect Silk Stockings with seams and garters, bra, pierced teardrop pearl earrings, red nail polish on the fingers and the toes. I can go on and on. The dress I had was a strapless black full-skirted Satin with a see-thru nylon covering. She had ballet strap high heels with the toes out. You can Google it and see how beautiful she was. Particularly the hair was just so real. A few years back, I got quite a good price on her ( and my Ideal Shirley Temple) from a flea market woman. But it was Barbara Britton, indeed-- Lav, your turn-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sounds like a beautiful doll. An episode of a popular sit com in the 1950's has the stars traveling to another country. The episode was pulled from syndication and not shown again until 1967. TV SHOW and WHY ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
