Worst Comic Ad Ever?

"Okay, these comic strip-stye ads are hot right now so we want to try one. Make sure you hire an artist who can't draw, preferably a twelve year old. Make sure they're terrible at faces, perspectives, proportions and especially fashions! Oh! And the lettering! Please be sure to get someone to letter it who squeezes way too many words into each panel! THAT should get the public's attention!"

Secret Sam Commercial-1965

I had this. There was a James Bond spy case which seemed like a real briefcase and then there was SECRET SAM which was more obviously plastic but which came with a REAL camera--my first ever real camera!! Take pictures through the case? Hah! I couldn't take pictures without cutting people's heads off whether it was in the case or out.

Dark and Stormy Night

A brief trailer for my favorite (so far) Larry Blamire film.

Dempsey and Makepeace Theme--Mid-1980's

Although largely unnoticed in the US, I loved this TV series in the eighties and I'm currently watching the episodes again. The actors, Michael Brandon and Glynis Barber, developed a real-life relationship which lead to their getting married when the series ended. In spite of some rough patches, they're still together and open to the concept of a DEMPSEY & MAKEPEACE reunion!

This theme, on the other hand, is perhaps the most generic cop show theme of all time!

Craig Yoe at the Museum of Sex-2011

About halfway through this nearly half hour episode of IFanboy is a nifty interview with Craig Yoe at and regarding the Museum of Sex exhibit he curated. The rest of this webisode is fun, also!

Suzi Quatro--Rock Hard--1980

Suzi Quatro was a proto-punk/glam rocker in the seventies who became a familiar TV face for her guest appearances as "Leather Tuscadero" on HAPPY DAYS. Was watching her this morning as a crazy person on an eighties episode of DEMPSEY & MAKEPEACE and remembered this video!

Fun For Boys-1957

One of these things is not like the other. Fun, dancing, ventriloquism...and lightning ju-jitsu!??
