Mother, please! I'd rather do it myself!

I don't watch television at all, and I worry whether I'm becoming culturally isolated. I may be missing all those messages alerting me to the concerns of the day.

Brush your teeth with Colgate, Colgate dental cream
It cleans your breath ... (what a toothpaste) ... while it guards your teeth

That's been in my head for a couple of hours. It reminds me why I stopped watching television. Can someone tell me what else I might be missing?

Mother, please! I'd rather do it myself!

Points will be awarded for the next couple of lines. I can quote them word for word.

4. Chevy - toots the American horn, but made in Mexico from Chinese parts.

Then ask why they break down all the time. Well, that's due to the cars that used to be put together in Michigan, don'cha'know. Part quality NEVER has anything to do with it.

You aren't "missing" anything by avoiding TV.
Nothing healthy or timeworthy, anyway.

TV has become everything bad that all the B-movies
warned us it might could be. Not kidding- it really
is outdoing every nihlistic caricature of itself
that ever came down the direct-to-video pike.

3. A great post but I can't help you.

If I'm retaining any of that information is must be hiding deep, deep in my subconscious.

You're tense, irritable. But don't take it out on her."

7. I can't believe I ate the whole thing...and others

So easy a caveman can do it

Where's the beef?

Let your fingers do the walking.

Away go troubles down the drain.

Double your flavor, double your fun.....

Pop,pop, fizz, fizz oh what a releif it is.

The pause that refreshes.

9. Wouldnt you really rather have a Buick?

Also a musical Olds Cutlass commercial using "If they could see me now"

You can find so many of the old commercials on YouTube.
