OK, I admit it. The Carpenters are a guilty pleasure of mine. So sue me.
But you have to admit -- Karen Carpenter could sing like an angel. As demonstrated by this clip, from the Carpenters' 1971 network summer series.
That's right boys and girls . . . the networks used to have new series that ran during the summer, when the regular shows' seasons had finished. And then, with much fanfare and plenty of buildup, the new TV season would begin in the middle of September.
Why is it that some days I have trouble remembering my name, age and phone number, but I can come up with much of the 1971 ABC promotional jingle? Thanks to TV Party.com for filling in the gaps in my aging memory.
And here's another memorable TV ditty, back from the days waaaaay before AIDS. I remembered this public-service spot clearly but, alas, Mrs. Favog was convinced your fearless potentate merely had had a bad reaction to penicillin.
HA!!!!!!!!!!! There you go, dear!!!!! The proof!!! I will graciously accept your apology now.
The Mighty Favog is a merciful and benevolent Favog.
