Many of us have seen it already but for those that haven't. And it's always good for a laugh

Betty:that Westinghouse Fridge is Password Protected!!She didn't know the password!

Oh! That's fabulous!

Robert and I were sitting here cracking up!

That's almost like the Price is Right, where Holly couldn't keep the fridge door closed.

One of my mom's best friends had that same fridge. Never new it had that counter and such, although I wondered what that thing was opposite the cold control. She's the same one who had the WI55 Unimatic and the D6 Westy dryer.

That closeup shot of Betty was absolutely scary!!!

I like Holly's reaction, "To hell with it".

That vintage Westinghouse commercial is hilarious. Thanks for sharing---I'd never seen it.

TV was so exciting back in those days because most it was live. Anything could, and sometimes did, happen. That close-up (while someone out of frame opened the fridge door) is a bit unsettling, LOL.

The 'Price Is Right' commercial is great, too, Fred!

I imagine the director was in the control room screaming his head off for someone to fix that door! The wonders of live TV.

That is actually June Graham, not Betty Furness. Very funny, though!

Those were great, especially the Price is Right. Thanks for sharing them. Can't get over how small freezers were back then. But I would still love to have a vintage fridge some day.
