I've been slowly but surely going through my collection of old VHS tapes and trying to burn them onto DVDs. Some of these are almost 25 years old and they are slowly degrading so I have to get them off of old VHS tape or lose them forever unfortunately. As I find fun stuff I'll try to digitize it and post them. Here's a 1954 public domain kinescope-recorded episode of the Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. The commercials were for the fabulous Hotpoint Impeller Dishwasher, that scored very highly in the recent (1953) Dishwasher test by Consumer Reports. Here's the Show Opening, along with Happy Hotpoint who is a 17 year old Mary Tyler Moore... Here's the First Commercial, again with Happy Hotpoint, (I left in just a few seconds of the show before the commercial starts to set the "mood" of the evening lol) Here's the final commercial... |

Thanks Robert for making content like this available to us. Not many venues around for it and we are lucky to have this site. A tip of my hat to you, sir! |

Robert, thanks so much for posting those, they brought back great memories. Also notice the GE 3 beater mixer on the counter in the last one. I always thought those were neat. |

By the way, once I was able to find the actual Youtube interface videos, I then uploaded them through Online.Movavi.com for conversion into Windows Media Files.--Laundry Shark CLICK HERE TO GO TO laundryshark's LINK |

I wonder if HotPoint gave Mary's parents any free appliances? |

so maybe "Coldspot" was inspired by "Hotpoint", not the other way around-- |
