Zotz! is a 1947 comedy satire novel about a professor who gains possession of an ancient coin that gives him certain powers. The satire comes from the bureaucracy he encounters in trying to give it to the military.

The 1962 movie, starring Tom Poston, is on YouTube.

Ford Star Jubilee
The Judy Garland Special
September 24, 1955

If you've seen some of Judy Garland's 1960's specials, you'll notice a big difference in her physical appearance in this 1955 special. Younger, looks healthier, a bit heavier.

The Supreme 's song, The Happening (1967), was written specifically for the movie The Happening (1967).

People seem to remember the song, and less so, the movie. Hip 1960's.
Many familiar faces. Song at 22min/15 sec mark.

Old TV shows are insightful. The Herbie Gets Drafted episode of Petticoat Junction is fun. Petticoat Junction had 38 black & white episodes in its first season, yet streaming platforms often offer 15 or 16 and forget to mention it's not complete.

I've been watching the old NBC TV series Quark from 1978. It's comedy science fiction. I've only seen the Vanessa episode (number 8). It's a HAL computer parody.
They're on YouTube and the Internet Archive.

I actually noticed this, on my own, before seeing that others did.
Meta uses a small snippet of David Bowie's song, 5 Years, in its new AI ad. (Bowie song in adjoining post).
If you listen to the entire song, it's creepily inappropriate.

There's a little bit of comedy and parody in this film that makes it worth watching. You'd be surprised how many celebrities you'll recognize. An early movie for Elizabeth Banks.
I found it on the Universal Live streaming channel.

I had no idea that Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson were mother and daughter. It just slipped by me, despite the fact that I love watching both on screen.

The Rabbit Test was a way to detect pregnancy from about 1931 to about 1962. The test nvolved urine injection into a rabbit and dissection.
"The rabbit died" is old slang for positive pregnancy, but the truth is that the rabbit always died.

I saw The End of Oak Street.
It's about Dino's in a residential neighborhood (time bubbles).
It's not a bad little movie. It gets grief for being too much like Jurassic Park (30 years ago) and J. World (11 years ago). Spielberg doesn't own the idea of Dinosaurs.

No, these (great) photos were not taken during WW2, but in the last couple of decades.

I've seen the one on the right shared as being from the 1940s quiet a few times but eventually found the one on the left on the photographers website:

Wonder Woman's second season premiered on CBS on September 16, 1977. Its first season (on ABC) was set during WWII, but CBS picked it up on the condition that the program be set in the current day to cut production costs. Here, Lynda Carter discusses the program and some of the changes.

The Brady Bunch
Carol Brady's full character name was Carol Ann Tyler Martin. This isn't revealed all at once, but you have to use a little deductive reasoning in the first episode. Carol is actually Caroline (see photo).

The girls had to change their name.
That would have been a good episode.

Tiger and Fluffy
According to Google AI search results, Tiger appeared in 10 episodes of The Brady Bunch stretched out over 2 seasons.
There were two dogs, total. The first Tiger was killed in traffic.

Poor Fluffy was only in the first episode.

Google AI needs to have more humility in its programming. It just bugs me when it's so sure of the wrong answer.

Roberta Shore was well known in the 1960's, mostly from The Virginian, but sitcoms too. She retired in 1966, but is still with us at age 83. Yes, there are modern pictures of her.
