@Funny4450 Minute Maid had Bing and Tropicana Becker...and Tropicana is fresh because for half a century, a weekly "Tropicana Train" freight has run from Florida to New York City.

@PeerlessPaavo Bobby Darin knew he likely wouldn't live as long as others (being aware of the damage rheumatic fever did to his heart)...that's why he did so MUCH living in his lifetime.

@ftsjr Makes sense...the lead writing team was Gerald Gardner and Dee Caruso--they did great work on GET SMART and THE MONKEES.

@wmbrown6 Interesting that when the "Follies" concept became a series that fall, they made Dean Martin host..and in fact, my reference books consider it a continuation of his variety show, not a replacement.

Oh GAWD...awful (all nice people, but awful).

The opening negotiating bid to get me to live through this cultural wasteland of a decade - twice - opens at one billion dollars.
