Remember These???

[Miss B]

Ahhh, yes, now that you mention his name I remember him, though I didn't know he was Candice Bergen's father.

I don't recall this other puppet, only Charlie McCarthy.

Maybe this will bring back some memories.

Nobody mentioned that Sharri Lewis also had Cecil, the Seasick Sea Serpent.

Hmmm, vaguely. I guess I saw him more when he had Charlie McCarthy with him.

Nobody mentioned that Sharri Lewis also had Cecil, the Seasick Sea Serpent.

She didn't, as far as I know, although I did read that she did some work for Crusader Rabbit. But Cecil was a Bob Clampett cartoon and I can't find that Sharri Lewis had anything to do with it.

Sorry, my young brain must have remembered it wrong.

For a quick laugh... Saw this online today. Thought I'd share it with you for a quick laugh.

Remember these???? This one was Waaay before my time and in highschool. But it looks a lot like my elementary school report card.

Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen. Father of actress Candice Bergen. There was another puppet called Mortimer Snerd.

Puppets like that scare me.

My eldest brother made a career in the Navy. Ocassionally, he would come home and stay with us. One time, when I was about 5 or six, he came home and brought a reel to reel tape recorder. I fell in love instantly.

Remember these??? At one point these were everywhere. At one point they were in every school classroom. We had one mounted to a wall in our pantry. They were in businesses, libraries, restaurants. Now, they're almost obsolete.

 

[eclark1894]

Remember these??? I remember when stores used to give these out for free.

 

[eclark1894]

Sad thing is, this is a toy. I've seen real registers that weren't this sophisticated.

 

[eclark1894]

Speaking of cash registers... my aunt had one like this in her restaurant back in the 60s.

Do You know this Act, Miss B? The Ventriloquist was Paul Winchell. I didn't know this, but apparently he invented an artificial heart before he died in 2005. And he was also the voice on some Saturday morning cartoons like Dick Dastardly and Muttley.

 

[Miss B]

I remember the pencil sharpener, and the shoe horn, but I can't say I remember Paul Winchell. I didn't always take note of the ventriloquists who were doing voice-overs for the Saturday morning cartoons.

Stop taking photos of stuff in my basement

One more ventriloquist act. Willie Tyler and Lester. I first saw them, I believe, on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in.

 

[eclark1894]

We used to have one of these attached to our pantry wall when I was a kid. I remember we used to open the big cans with it. We didn't bring it with us when we moved, so as far as I know, it was still attached to the wall when they tore the apartment down years later.
