It May Be Old, But It Never Gets Old!

I've seen that clip before, definitely interesting. If I remember right the host had to translate to Dali several times what the participant intended with their question so that he'd answer it right.

Yes...

Well, it was because they'd ask things like "Are you a writer" or "Are you a performer" and though the answer to both is definitely yes, they'd never guess who he was if they accepted his truthful but kinda misleading answers, LOL! I've seen him live in several old clips, his command of the English language was just fine :)

I was at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg at the same time he was in the hospital dying, made it even more heart wrenching :/

What I meant by translation was "Normal" to "Artist", not English to French.

David King, Normal to Artist, too funny!

Thanks! Yes !!!!!!

BWAHAHAHA!! That is so, sooo true!

Btw, he was a Spaniard, not French! The French didn't even appreciate him for a lonnnnnnng time. They obviously didn't speak Dali either ;)

Ahhhhh, the memories. Dating myself, but I watched this show every Sunday night for years and years. My dad was a newspaperman for a morning paper. So during the week he went to work in the early afternoon and didn't come home until he put the paper to bed around midnight. We didn't watch much TV when I was a kid - I was maybe 10 before we even got one. Once we did, watching was strictly rationed. There were five of us kids. Each one of us got to pick an hour on one week night (the day of the week rotated!). If you didn't like the pick, you didn't watch. But on Saturday and Sunday, we watched maybe two hours - catch was Dad picked :) I know on Saturday night one hour was Perry Mason for years. On Sunday, it was the Ed Sullivan Show and What's My Line. There were a couple of other shows in there but I don't remember offhand just what they were. We lived in New Mexico, so Mountain Time which meant prime time ET was quite doable for kids :)

Thanks, Susan.

Very cool, thank you for sharing.

Not before my time and yes, I remember seeing that episode, but not hearing much...I was fixated on his moustache!
It smiled when he didn't!

But how many people remember their sponser...Helene Curtis!!

I remember Helene Curtis! I also remember Marlboro commercials.

We had a TV as far back as I can remember Nikolyn, but I definitely remember when we got color TV. The lasers on the first run of Star Trek and annual airings of The Wizard of Oz took on a whole new fascination!

Here's a blast from the past... Husby and I are currently watching the entire run of Dark Shadows. We are 310 in of over 1200 20-minute episodes. I did watch it for the last couple years (I think) as a kid but I don't think we've reached any of the story line I saw yet. I recognize the characters in it where we are now, but Quentin and Angelique haven't made an appearance yet and they are my strongest memories. Anybody else watch the Game of Thrones phenomena of our childhood?

It took a whole year for Barnabas to show up!! I feel so cheated.

I remember when t.v. turned off at night...broadcasting shut down with a test pattern.
I remember when there were only a few programs on during the week.
I remember the first soap operas...they were at lunchtime and only 15 minutes long.
I can't seem to remember, however, why I came in the room.....

LOL! Yes, the National Anthem and then the test pattern. And four VHF stations, ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS. And three UHF stations, if you could tune 'em in well enough to see 'em. I still would have never dreamed of giving up TV back then. Now I haven't had it for years.

I don't remember having to watch a b&w TV, but I did watch a whole bunch of b&w TV shows, all the way through my teen years, the UHF stations played reruns of old b&w like the Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Blondie and many more, I loved it...then cable came to town while I was in high school and MTV became my obsession, you know when they actually played music videos. lol. Sorry Susan, I've never even heard of Dark Shadows.

That was awesome, thanks Susan.

You have never heard of Dark Shadows?? Seriously?? Barnabas Collins doesn't ring a bell???

Egads.

Barnabas who?

Barnabas Collins. He of the vampire (vampiric?) persuasion. You know... with fangs and a debonair façade.

I can't believe no one else remembers Dark Shadows. It was huge and ran forever!

My name is Victoria Winters. Death has come to Collinwood...

@Susan
I never watched soap operas...that was my mom's thing. I came home for 30 minutes for lunch in elementary school....the exact time that her stories were on...Search for Tomorrow and The Guiding Light....nad in those days, soap companies actually sponsored them!
I do recall, however, that one night in the sorority house in college, all the girls were crying and me and the house mother were so upset, trying to find out who has died....apparently, we were the only two who didn't watch the soaps. As it turned out, it was a character on a soap opera that was responsible for all the tears.
GMAB ( give me a break!)

I went to visit a friend the other evening

She refused to talk to me until her two soaps had finished!!

I sat through the biggest load of fluff I've seen in ages.... Ugh

By the time it was over I was ready for home and she was upset I 'left early'

Give me strength!

Dark Shadows wasn't a typical soap opera tho. I mean... murder! Vampires! Witches! Evil children! Ghosts! You know, good stuff, not "I am going to marry the man who assaulted me" Luke and Laura crap.
