Mr. Brawner sort of looks like Seth Mc Farlane (creator of Family Guy)! That entertainment "barrel" set looked cool in 1961 but now whatta piece of crap!! But the price was a cool fortune then.
Cullen was a pro, excellent host, good sense of humour. Hey my sir name is gUllo.
"Here's Don Pardo to describe them"...and *my* first recollection of Don Pardo is from Saturday Night Live (SNL) in 1975...even then as a kid hearing his voice, I couldn't say just where I'd heard it, but had this hunch he'd been doing voice announcing for some time already.
I was able to remember them all except for the trailer pretty well, but then my old Latin & Spanish classes helped, since Italian & Spanish both come from Latin. The term for safe, "casa forte", translates literally to "strong house", very similar to our "strongbox".
I know it was rather fancy to have a television and hi-fi system in your home in 1960, and an expensive one at that, but for $1,659.95 did you have to have those ugly-@zzed barrels sitting in your living room?!!? What furniture went with this hideous looking entertainment system?!? Talk about putting lipstick on a pig!!
Right after the models open up the wine barrels, check out the podium where the contestants are sitting. Why is there an electrical outlet on the side of it? So bizarre.
haha "as the matter of fact, I can tell you I can't remember any of this"

Funny how that barrel idea for home entertainment items likely ended up in a land fill shortly, ridiculus idead IMO.

man I got ALL of them and I am stoned. When he got his haircut they must've set the shears too close to his brain.

How dense can a guy be? How can he not remember ANY of them when he just saw them ten seconds earlier?
