Elly May Clampett did more with a lil' denim and a piece of rope than any woman on TV in history!! And I'll leave it at that...

I love old commercials from TV cast integrated into the programs!! I had several posted from "The Andy Griffith Show" around 18 months ago, but someone from Post Cereals objected and it lead to my old account getting suspended. I'd love to post many, many more cast commercials, but I don't know how many are in public domain so I'm holding back quite a few...

Elly May sure did,"girl up,"over the years.She was so lovely,natural and could be very sweet.I used to think she was the most beautiful girl on television-from when I was around 10 until I was 21.

@weenielongus Hot TV moms/housewives (in no particular order): Barbara Eden; Elizabeth Montgomery; Patricia Heaton; Donna Reed; Mary Tyler Moore; Carolyn Jones; Inger Stevens; Courtney Thorne-Smith; the mom on "Karen" (can't recall her name); Diahann Carroll; the woman who plays George Lopez's wife; Katey Sagal . . . those are the ones I came up with at one sitting. Any more to add?

True, Laura Petrie was a sexy housewife, but I thought the last seasons of "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie" had 2 of the hottest housewives to ever come down the pike!! Samantha Stevens and Jeannie were rockin' those mini-skirts in the final seasons of those shows, much more sexy than at the start of those series!!!! They just got better with age...

Elly was the first gal to wear tight jeans on TV!

I read that sponsors (General Mills? Kellogs?) lobed to have Jethro eat from an enormous salad bowl. Max Baer, Jr., wasn't so fond of eating all that cereal, however, and would often be too full from the commercial to eat lunch. (He claimed the other cats would intentionally mess up their line sto see how much they could force him to eat.)

This is the insidious old-school technique of making product plugs look like part of the show -- same actors, same characters, same sets. They had been doing it since radio days, right thru into early TV (e.g. the Goldbergs, where the main character Molly G. would just turn toward the camera every 8-10 minutes for 30 seconds or so and recite the sponsor's pitch, "neighbor-to-neighbor." Not sure if this stuff was banned by the FCC, or just fell out of favor, or what, but they don't do it now.
