My Little Margie

Didn't watch that show. Nine of us in the family and only one black & white tv. We had to watch whatever the rest of the family wanted to see. I spent way more time outdoors, playing football, hunting, sledding, basketball and of course shoveling snow, weeding and hoeing in the garden and pushing that old reel mower cutting the grass,than watching tv.

LACUMO  posted on  2011-01-20   11:37:51 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply  

I might have missed one or two but I didn't actually write it down. Most of them I got with out seeing what the choices were. I did miss the David Brinkly one but we didn't watch him. I did know where it came from I just didn't know the answer. too funny. I was born in 63 so sometimes I'm considered a boomer and sometimes not, depends on who is doing the list. I do not consider myself one.

Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!!

I think it came on in the evening? There was no daytime TV (maybe a Soap?). Most of the people on my block didn't have TVs, so they'd drop by when a show was on. Are u saying u didn't watch The Children's Hour on Saturday morning?

ok I took the test writing down my answers and checking them against the answer key. I missed one and that was the Brinkly one. But I knew what it was referencing. This reminded me of those tests you take at baby showers where you are given the product line and you have to say the product. I do really well on those.

Truthfully I don't know if it exists any more or not myself. Seems to me I have seen boxes of it at the store though.

However, it was a big ad campaign in the late 60's. The early ones were B&W but the later ones were in color. And the gimmick of the commercial was a White Knight on a White Horse who would come charging in and turn all the dirty clothes sparkling white.

You let yourselves be deprived before your own eyes of the best part of your revenues; your fields are plundered, your homes robbed, your family heirlooms taken away. You live in such a way that you cannot claim a single thing as your own; and it would seem that you consider yourselves lucky to be loaned your property, your families, and your very lives.
