Television: Act now - our time is almost up on these dazzling pave diamond rings! But wait till you see what we have coming up for you... Television: Succulent lobster tails from Cape Cod, sixty-inch 3-D plasma TV home theater systems and a surprise guest celebrity designer to introduce his new collection! Gladys: TV shopping certainly has come a long way from the days of the Veg-o-matic, Ginsu Knives and the Pocket Fisherman!

The first TV ad ever done was for the Veg-O-Matic. The guy cut his finger and bled all over the place, but reception was so poor that no one could see it and they solf 5000 the next week. Now they can sell us anything, from cars to candidates,

I loved the pocket fisherman….. that being said, have you ever noticed how amazing that stuff seems when you’re an insomniac and it’s 3AM? Spray on hair? Wow!

Anyone remember the Salad Master pots and pans commercials from the 50’s & early 60’s? I’m still using a set I bought in 1966.

I don’t watch those shopping channels. I ignore the ones that don’t go that route. These days it’s surprising these shows are still on air given the current economy.
