1960 election- Richard Nixon talks to his supporters Posted by: Freenbean
Video duration: 463 seconds 3AM EST- 12 Midnight PST on election night, 1960, and a weary Vice President Richard Nixon delivers a rambling half-concession speech to his supporters. In Hyannisport, JFK tells his inner circle,"Why should he concede? I wouldn't". 8 hours later Nixon has his press secretary Herb Klein deliver the formal concession, an act JFK complains about- it proves Nixon has "no class".

Closing Credits to Ernie Kovacs show Posted by: Freenbean
Video duration: 206 seconds The closing credits to one of Ernie's ABC Specials. Something of a lost art considering networks now want the time to plug their upcoming shows. My favorite part of this is the credit for the Production Coordinator- given Ernie's propensity for exceeding budgets, what we see may not have been too far from the truth.

Early Cap'n Crunch Commercial Posted by: Freenbean
Video duration: 59 seconds From 1966 when the Cap'n was in his prime- fighting pirates instead of Soggies. Jay Ward Productions did the animation, and Daws Butler voiced the Cap'n, but odds are you already knew that. That's Bill Scott doing Jean La Foote (the Barefoot Pirate) and Paul Frees does the narration at the end. Related: 1960s, butler, capn, cereal, commercial, crunch, daws, jay, quaker, tv, ward |

Sportswriters on TV: Arnold Schwarzenegger Posted by: Freenbean
Video duration: 347 seconds A segment of The Sportswriters on TV from 1990: The first President Bush appoints Arnold Schwarzenegger to head the Counsel on Physical Fitness. Young Telander points out Ah-nold was a steroid user. Jauss thinks we should have an open mind, while Gleason thinks the whole thing is a joke. Somehow this turns into a discussion about juggling indian clubs. Hope the cigar smoke doesn't get to you.
