These commercials and shows in this particular animation style are perfect examples of how a major company can have simply designed characters and STILL have personality and be fun. Alegria fails to have personality, nor be fun. This Tootsie Roll commercial has been on TV for 50 years.

These photos of my grandparents were taken on the RMS Queen Elizabeth.

They started their honeymoon with a voyage to Cherbourg, then visiting Paris before driving through the Alps and then on to finish their trip in Italy. They filmed a bit on board playing shuffleboard. This was in 1963.

My mom laughed at how much Greg looked like a little kid with a sippy cup getting a refill of apple juice in this scene. Totally bendable and impressionable.

"And on that farm he had "Mom," EIEIO. With a milk milk here and a milk milk there." If you want a documentary as absurd as this show, just watch Grey Gardens (1975). Little Edie could literally be played by Roger, even though its Steve in this. Also, who wore the striped hat best?

I can't help but believe that Archer wasn't a fan of the series Mannix, played by Mike Connors. You can see its influence on Archer's title sequence. Its basis would also be the perfect framework to develop a Spy Comedy Series from, he's a little less disciplined than Bond, more like Sterling.

Fractured Fairy Tales were hilarious parodies of classic stories on Saturday Morning, decades before Shrek did the same thing. I need breakfast and orange juice!

Birthday Card my grandpa got for my Grandma, and Easter Card Grandma got my Grandpa, most certainly from the 1960's. They kept plenty of cards which I photographed a few years ago. My foolish uncle threw away most of them, so now all I have are photos of these cards. I'll post Christmas Cards also.

"That cold, green water, crawling its ghostly way up that staircase, was a sight that stamped itself indelibly on my memory. Step by step, it made its way up, covering the electric lights, one after the other, which for a time, shone under the surface with a horribly weird effect."- Lightoller
