Worth a glance for the Camel cigarette commercials alone!

So, the Seinfeld writers weren't the first to create a quirky "Cosmo"?

I remember the show but it was in its final seasons by the time my dad built our first TV set. Or maybe it was on the network we couldn't get, as we only were able to pick up two of the three VHF network channels out of Syracuse and NET (the PBS of its day) on UHF with our antenna.

Fun...I was tempted to watch the entire 30 minutes, but have copied the link for another time

Yes, we also watched this on our 21" RCA b/w set on a flimsy wrought iron swivel stand.

Another great show from that era was "The Millionaire". Now, of course, it would have to be "The Billonaire" to elicit any interest.

Ah, who could forget Michael Anthony and John Bares Fertipton? (sp?) My favorite episode was the one where the million went to a kid who said he was going to the bank to cash the check and ask for it all in nickles.

Me and my Dad never missed an episode. One of these days Alice pow right in the kisser. Ed Norton (Art Carney) made the show.
