  1. I suspect they get people hitting the button just to talk to somebody. I'd guess they are trained to deal with that (or at least I hope so).
  2. I know a lot of people don't like mayo, but one of my favorite things is elotes (which a lot of people think might not be good, but it is).
  3. I don't think mac & cheese from a box (the kind we had) in any way qualifies as a casserole.
  4. They're probably going for a Mason Reese "Borgasmord" thing.
  5. I don't really think of either of those as casseroles, but I guess technically it is (though it lacks creamed soup and potato chips).
  6. You are right. They kind of disgust me. I either specifically ask for no tomato butts or don't look too closely. If it wasn't olive drab in color then it wasn't canned.
  7. As a kid, I also missed Frawley on "My Three Sons", he reminded me of my own grandfather. Uncle Charlie seemed too gruff.
  8. I think she's cute, esp. her excitement over wearing costumes. But apparently a lot of people find her annoying.
  9. Shows of the 1960s, Ranked https://www.ranker.com/list/best-60s-tv-shows/ranker-tv Your results may vary
  10. No, we weren't food deprived. More like my mother wasn't that great of a cook (her Mom died when she was 12 and she had to take care of her Dad, so she didn't learn from her mother). When I say mayo, I really mean Miracle Whip (tho sometimes we'd have Hellman's). I'd eat graham crackers in milk (I called it "graham cracker soup"). We had a lot of casseroles (the most horrifying word in the English language is "casserole"), the worst being sunkofleky (Bohemian egg fu young, as I called it). Also we had SOS alot.
  11. As a kid I liked mayo sandwiches (bread and mayo, that's it). Also sugar sandwiches (butter with sugar on top). But I put sugar on lettuce too.
  12. We always had canned asparagus which looks, smells and tastes like something from the sewer. I would have preferred over-cooked broccoli, ours was rock hard, except for the tops, which was all I'd eat. But potato salad was good, German and American! To this day, I hate "tomato butts" which I always seem to get when I go to the sandwich places. I've taken to saying, "No tomato butts, please!"
  13. Only on "special" holidays, when we had company over, did we have the lime green jello, cottage cheese, pineapple ring (with a bowl of mayo in the center) on lettuce. This was considered high-class eating (I thought it was white-trash cooking).
  14. That's my pet peeve of the retro channels. They start out good and end up running either crap or the same shows as every other retro channel (I'm looking at you "Gunsmoke").
  15. In fact, when members of the wardrobe department initially sought to outfit the unkempt Oscar, they looked no further than Klugman himself. "They paid me $360 for everything in my closet, and I still made a profit on the deal," he told Sports Illustrated in 2005. https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/la-me-jack-klugman-obit-20121225-story.html
  16. I have AT&T cable and they, for whatever reason, don't carry most of the retro channels like Comcast did. So no MOVIES, no BUZZR, no Decades, no Antenna, no... no ...no.
  17. I guess we'll all be in the next Progressive "Don't be like your parents" commercial with Dr. Rick tossing our flip phones in the trash can.
  18. If you walk around like that you very well might get more nosebleeds.
  19. It seemed to me that "M*A*S*H" modified Hawkeye's behavior (somewhat) as the series progressed. Early on the show was (by today's standards) quite sexist.
  20. I only started watching them to see the various Chicago locations used, but the soap opera aspects turned me off.
