Thanks! Your clips are fascinating, too. The stars of that era had such class.

@nostromo38 I never knew Allstate and R.J. Reynolds also advertised on the show...Renault later joined the Gas Association as co-sponsor (at the time it was the #2 import car in America, after VW).

@albear972 The stove had a brain, but not the Association...they were the ones that demanded the words "gas ovens" be censored from the show's original teleplay version of JUDGMENT AT NUREMBURG.

That's quite an impressive cast! Chico Marx, Parkyakarkas ( not long before he died from a heart attack duirng a dinner for Lucy & Desi at the Beverly Hills Friars Club ), the great James Gleason ( he died a short time later, too ), Reginal Gardiner...and oh yes -- Jane Greer still looked fanstastic some ten years after "Out of the Past!"

Man these commercials are so strange at least to me. It's cool to see how they used to be though.

What does seem to be missing is characters who are intelligent but are in situations that threaten to overwhelm them unless they find some way to cope and are changed by the struggle.

This was television in its infancy and I must say this was television at its best. Most of these people came from the theatre. great writers and actors. Not like the trash of today!

Dangit! why doesn't my 2009 gas stove burner not have a brain, 2:50 and they did in 1958?

Bryd 59 can put up "No Time At All " in it's entirety?
