Freeze-In (1969) Pt.1/2

Made for Sears appliance salesmen, this film tries to capitalize on the zany format of TV's Laugh-In to introduce the new Kenmore freezer campaign. Even though the film features two of the stars from Laugh-In - Arte Johnson and Judy Carne.- it is clear that the director of this ephemeral gem missed the point.

Jeannie was mid 60's and Laugh-in was late 60's.

You have to understand that this was during the period when "ROWAN & MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN" was THE #1 series on TV. It was considered a "coup" for Sears to get Judy and Arte to appear in this promotional film. How much they received for their services, I don't know, but I'm betting it was a "premium" price!

and back then people thought we'd be commuting to work ala the Jetsons, and city living under a dome.

I didn't know "libs" owned networks. Anyway, it's a shame she couldn't cultivate that amazing talent & sensuality.

I was curious about that myself. It sounds a bit like the T-Bones, but I can't confirm it.

I like the music used in this training video, but I don't have a clue what the video was about.  Anyone know who wrote the music?

I love when she gets soaked in water. It's so funny! Happened to her a lot back in those days! LOL

Judy Carne was sucking Nipsey Rusells cock for a decade.

[fromthesidelines]

In the 1968-'69 season (when this promotional film first appeared), 'razddd', "JEANNIE" was on just before "LAUGH-IN" on NBC's Monday night schedule. In fact, the episode where Judy, Arte, Gary Owens and producer George Schlatter appeared on "JEANNIE" [February '69] was supposed to be a "tie-in" when Barbara Eden {as "Jeannie"} was to appear on "LAUGH-IN". But Schlatter wanted to "debut" her navel in a "special" segment (including a spotlight on the navel), but NBC and Sidney Sheldon objected..

I always wanted to bone Judy.  I don't know why. She wasn't all that attractive, and she was a bit of a lez. Still, no denying she was sexy. Too bad she wasted her best years on that fag Burt Reynolds. She should have been riding my meat pole. She wouldn't have gone dyke.

Judy Carne has a way of making me interested in Sears...
