SHENANIGANS - PART TWO by Billy Ingram

You need this:

Some video optimized for
dial-up connections

- The classic Mystery Date, commercial from 1965. Note that a guy considered a 'dud' back in 1965 would be the 'hunk' today!

- Commercial for Time Bomb, a toy that looked like an old silent movie-style bomb. Kids would wind it up, the thing would start ticking, and they would toss it back and forth. When the bomb 'goes off,' the one holding it is out of the game.

- A spot for Racko and Easy Money. I hadn't seen this one since I was a kid, but I was singing along with the commercial before it was over. Catchy jingles and less clutter on TV meant these commercials could be BURNED into kid's minds!

- Commercial for a game called Camp Granada, based on Allan Sherman's hit novelty song of the same name.

SHENANIGANS TV SHOW:

"I can't tell you how many tidal waves of memories you have provided me over the past year. I wrote to you about Shenanigans a short time ago and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that you had a clip from that program on your site already.

"I have NEVER seen a site that responds to viewer requests as honestly and quickly as does yours. I sat alone at my computer at 2:30 in the morning singing along to the theme song as best I could remember.

"I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed your site. I don't know where on earth you get these clips but thank you for taking the time to dig up these priceless clips, you have given me hundreds of chills as I've walked down memory lane. Your work is greatly appreciated in Moreno Valley, California."
