random chance July 8, 2014 Share July 8, 2014 Mr. Unger in the 1960s inspired me to climb the rope to the top before anyone else and jump the furthest. He was small boned like me and no doubt knew that while I'd never be a star where size mattered (I was always picked last on teams), sometimes being a lightweight was an advantage. Sadly, I never did sports after 8th grade. That's pretty cool that you were inspired. In hindsight I wish I hadn't viewed my P.E. teachers as evil Nazi overlords, because as it turns out, being able to climb and run and things is not actually a hardship. One thing that cracked me up listening to the original Robert Preston version of the Chicken Fat song was that apparently, girls weren't required to do the pushups. "Situps - c'mon girls, you're in this too!" Wait - that's the same woman who dresses up like a cat burglar?" Wow, she looks totally different. I must have seen that one a hundred times before I realized that it was not the girl from Continuum. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2715-favorite-commercials/page/4/#findComment-182500

Rinaldo July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 Those Polaroid commercials were wonderful. Always delightful interaction between Garner and Hartley, and they kept shooting new ones and varying the nature of the sparring between them so (for me) they never wore out their welcome. (For me, it also helped that I had fallen "in love" with Mariette Hartley when at age 21 she appeared in a Shakespeare play that I saw. Not only was it gratifying to see her become nationally beloved, I was also seeing her become financially secure for life -- as she confirmed in her memoirs.) 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2715-favorite-commercials/page/4/#findComment-223578
