It’s for the rest of us…
Television
The Judy Garland Christmas Show 1963
The clips of this show are too numerous and all fabulous. Therefore this year I’m posting the entire show including the vintage 1963 commercials. Enjoy!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
Due to the high camp nature of this Andy Williams television special clip, I repost it from years past as we move into the holiday season.
Enjoy!

Bewitched spells for the holiday
Samantha always pulled her holidays off without a glitch. Maybe we could learn a spell or two from her.
After seeing all those clips of her talent for getting through the holiday season, I think I’ll treat myself to a holiday episode. Want to join me?

Monster Mash
Bobby Pickett’s original is our favorite version of this Halloween Classic. This is his appearance live on American Bandstand. While I’m 99.5% positive this is a lip synch, he is live and his facial expressions are priceless.
