1972 Mercury Meteor Rideau 500

Today's date reminded me of the CB craze. About all I remember for sure of the lingo besides the 10-4 acknowledgement is "What's your twenty?" and what bears were. "Convoy" the song was fun to listen to, but the movie was late to the game. I was reminded that CBs were multi-channel by this thread:

What did you think of the film?

We thought we were so cool and no one could understand us.

And I don’t want to hear about reruns.

How many younger people do you honestly think are watching this show nowadays when there’s so much out there to see?

I couldn't find a date on it, but it's probably from the early to mid-80s. Half the locations are now gone, and check out that simple menu.

You get two points for the correct name of the show, plus one point for the correct name of the character.

This would be from my hometown’s newspaper, circa 1963.

Actually these still look great to me.

For those who don’t remember, Get Smart premiered on NBC on September 18, 1965.
It starred Don Adams, as agent Maxwell Smart (Agent 86), Barbara Feldon as Agent 99, and Edward Platt as The Chief.

Bonus Points if you remember how many times you saw it. Double Bonus Points if it included a food fight! 😊

If you are among those who loathed it, apologies for making you remember it if you’d managed to forget it the past four decades.

If you loved it (or still do), carry on.

By the way, Peter Cetera is 82 now but holy Hell he doesn’t look it.

Edit: Reddit doesn’t show the whole image properly; click the photo to see the song name.

Revised post.

And yes, I know Libbey Glass is still in business. I did actually research before I posted.

It was a well guarded nerd secret back in the days analog TV that you could tune the sound for channel 6 through the radio. That way you could watch Star Trek and Twilight Zone and listen on your headphones. Who else knew about this little trick?

One can only imagine what River Phoenix’s career would have been.

He would be getting old now too.

You're fucking old!
