SuperStyle me!

“Let yourself go to Pizza Hut!”

The Hungry Dodger

“The second helping of meat is already in.”

Back to our regularly-scheduled commercials today. First up, a spot I particularly like as it features my hometown team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, for Swanson Hungry-Man TV dinners.

Second, a spot for Brown ‘N Serve Sausage. Both commercials aired in November of 1978.

In this edition of Brady Bunch Moments we feature the first season episode of The Brady Bunch from December 19, 1969. Carol loses her voice and lo-and-behold gets it back just in time to sing for Christmas. It’s a gol’ dang miracle!

On Partridge Pop, we bring you a holiday nugget from season two, “Don’t Bring Your Guns To Town, Santa,” which originally aired on December 11, 1971. Stick with the clip through the first few moments to watch the family sing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and cavort around the tree.
