Colonel Sanders, Speed Queen and Johnny Olson

[brettsomers]

see the spooky-looking Colonel. see Holly smile at a Speed Queen pair. see the irreplaceable Johnny, the man who make *Come on down!* famous.

saturation

I kept turning the saturation down and down and down 'till I realised, my computer is okay - those folks really were wearing those colors.
On their bodies.
I thought it less than "cute" how they had the two black employees lined up at the end. I hate the whole political correctness s***, but when I see vintage TV, it does remind me just how far we still need to go.
Was that the real Colonel? I thought by then he was so p.o. at what they had done to his quality, he wouldn't work with them anymore?
Spooky is right.

Where's that website that has full episodes of soap operas? There's a Y&R from 1979 that totally brings back memories.
