Mid-50's commercial for a TV set..and more - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6hnpF6wjNU[/media] I like how one of the key features is you can't burn it with a cigarette. :v: Edited: Oh god, there's more.

Typical broad trying to get me to waste my money on this newfangled junk, this TV thing is never going to take off anyhow.

I like how that washing machine is smaller than mine

Oh shit the circuit-board looks hilarious in the first one. The ones I did in school etc. were done with PC but we had to do one by hand in school to learn about it and mine looked pretty much exactly like that. :v:

She has that smoker-voice.

[QUOTE=WarRocker32;39772755]She has that smoker-voice.[/QUOTE] At least she doesn't go around putting out her Cigarettes on Televisions! Such clearly inferior Televisions to Westinghouse wouldn't be able to take it.

Damn, those TVs were expensive. $250 in 1956 is the equivalent of $2,100 today.

[QUOTE=killer95;39773338]Damn, those TVs were expensive. $250 in 1956 is the equivalent of $2,100 today.[/QUOTE] And I think they weren't the most reliable things either, from what I can gather TVs didn't start getting reliable until the 70s.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;39770775][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMqd5EQXD-g[/media][/QUOTE] That actually looks pretty cool.

[QUOTE=cdr248;39775354]That actually looks pretty cool.[/QUOTE] I'm also glad that everything sold on TV isn't the same damn price. It's a minor complaint, but I'm just sick of hearing $19.99

I would have loved to have lived in the 50's and 60's. America was a really great place Unless you were black Or female

When she wiped off the TV from putting the cigarette on it in the first one there was still damage from the cigarette visible :V
