R.I.P. Mister Equalizer

Edward Woodward, known for his Golden Globe winning performances in his CBS series The Equalizer, as well as a number of memorable performances, has exited the planet at 79.

According to BBC News, Woodward suffered from a number of ailments at the time of his passing.

The BBC has a photo gallery featuring some of Woodward’s best work... including a six episode stint on Eastenders.

You can leave a tribute to this great actor here.

Private SNAFU - Spies

I wonder if cartoons like these would be a good idea for our soldiers today?

Private SNAFU - The Home Front

Private SNAFU - Booby Traps

NASA Found Water on the Moon... and... DANCING!

Private SNAFU

SNAFU is an acronym. Anybody know what it stands for? (Keep it clean!)

Private SNAFU - Gripes

A Little Something for the Veterans

We will be posting more of these over the next few days. BTW... you know what SNAFU means? Keep it clean!

YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE THIS FILM!

That is to say... this film was made to ONLY be seen by Sears appliance salesmen. If you don't sell appliances for Sears... then you really shouldn’t see this.

Well, then again... it has been years since this was made... and so maybe it is okay for you to watch this... but if you don’t remember Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In then it may go right over your head...

I Married Joan

Similar in theme to “I Love Lucy,” but with an acapella theme song and sound track (and not Desi Arnaz’ Cuban rhythm band) and Jim Backus (better known as Thurston Howell the 3^rd on Gilligan’s Island). Check out this episode:

Economic Recession of 1952

In 1952, a family found an African-American woman to solve their economic troubles. Check her out...

She Looks The Same As She Did 44 Years Ago

Sally Field has some great DNA, it appears.

We see her on television doing starring roles and adverts for bone pills...

But if you think she is glamorous now, check her out in 1965 in the video clip below.

Kinda hard to imagine ABC cancelled this show and brought Sally back to the airwaves as a flying nun. :-\

In a quote on Sally’s Wikipedia page, she said she would have preferred playing Gidget versus the nun.

Hmm... Sally in a bikini, or...

Sally in a habit.  Hmm...

Well, check out this promo for her short-lived ABC series:

Uh Bee Uh Bee Uh Bee... That’s Racist Folks!

This past weekend, CNN hosted a couple specials investigating whether racism has changed since Obama was elected President. Well, no matter what is going on today... social opinions can’t be as bad as this 1941 cartoon...




Or, can they?

Found in China: President Obama’s Brother!

Before She Was Jeannie... She Was Marilyn Monroe

Before Barbara Eden became famous in I Dream of Jeannie, she reprised the role made famous by Marilyn Monroe in the television remake of How to Marry a Millionaire.

Feminists will probably spin in their chairs at the premise of beautiful golddiggers. But, it is a nice piece of television history that many of you may have never seen before.

Barbara Eden in Acapulco

Barbara Eden stars in The Woman Hunter, a 1972 made-for-TV movie. Enjoy Larry Storch as a drunken raconteur who tells lame jokes to a captive crowd while a woman is murdered and stripped of her jewelry. It all goes down-hill from there. Still, Barbara (as always) looks great, especially frolicking in a bikini and numerous other outfits. There is also some sort of plot involving an international jewel thief (Stuart Whitman) and a new husband (Robert Vaughn}. Enjoy!
