A showcase devoted to the Marx Brothers, and the car isn't even a DeSoto? 'Atsa no good.

Gosh I love these videos. Its too bad all the celebrities we have these days are loose and filled with controversy. It would be no good to do tributes to, say, Britney Speers in this time.

none of them acted like the marx brothers

Why wasn't this a Bi-Centennial showcase like all the other "salutes to..." are?

Why didn't they give her a harp?

I recently found out that the "old Switcheroo" cue as we affectionately call it (and I personally wish were still around) is a library piece called "Bag of Rags". I just don't know which library they licensed it from, sadly

@AdamNedeff, I only remember cigar commercials from the '70s and maybe early '80s. After awhile, they disappeared. Not sure if they're illegal or if the companies just decided not to make them anymore.

This is really lame...

@EverythingInane Correct. There was just as if not more scandal back then as it is now. They just tried to cover it better than they do today.

@churlyryan Loose? what are you talking about? sexually? Now I love the marx brothers, nevertheless they were "loose". Chico was notorious for being especially so. Cheating on wives nonstop, etc. We're talking dozens if not hundreds of girls.
and controversy..What about all of grouchos divorces and marriages with women several decades younger than him?
Why do people always seem to think people from the past are so pristine and the people of today are so degenerate? Nothing has changed.
This is classic 70's TV. - the clap board in the opening shows 2/22/74 - so that makes sense why the cigars were given away at that time - it was "okay" to smoke. - thank you so much for posting this bit of TV history!

No, it doesn't make sense. Tobacco advertising became a no-no on January 1, 1971.

@AdamNedeff, I'm old enough to remember television advertising for cigars in the '90s. For awhile, you could advertise cigars but not cigarettes.

@Extratexture4 Wow, really? Huh...I'm old enough to remember commercials in the '90s (I'm 28) and I never saw a cigar ad. Granted I was in the Nickelodeon demographic, so I may have been looking in the wrong places. What show would one watch to see a cigar commercial in the '90s? I'm genuinely curious about this subject now.
