Yes….

It’s…
The Saturday Night Live cast…

then known as….
The Not Ready For Prime Time Players

All looking very young…. we have…
Left to right…

Back row: Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris, Dan Ackroyd

Middle row: Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman

Bottom row: John Belushi, Bill Murray

I know this is not the first season…

Because…
Chevy Chase left during the 2nd season and was replaced by Bill Murray.

We didn’t get that show over here, but I recognised a couple of them straight off.

The two I recognised:
John Belushi, and Jane Curtin, from her role in the great series: ‘Third Rock From The Sun’

It’s from 1933:  “I Yam What I Yam.”
The theme song is not what we’re used to. Watch carefully for the “unmute” (or if you miss that the speaker with the “x” icon) button at the top left, until you bring up the sound you can’t go full screen because the menu is hidden.

 

 
If WordPress doesn’t cooperate with your machine type 1933:      “I Yam What I Yam”      as a search item and pick the “Daily Motion” one.

Strangely, this is the second cartoon on this site, and I’m pretty sure they were both Popeye, posted by you,
that sometimes starts playing when I open the page…

I hear the music before I scroll anywhere near it!

Not every single time I refresh, but some of them,. especially if I’ve left and returned.

Another odd thing is that maybe a third of the time the video window says it can’t be played at all.

Weird!

Taking a screen snip…
He’s saying “Y’anited” and Popeye is saying “Arsenal” which makes your surmise accurate.

But that makes no sense.

Somebody added that stuff.

You wouldn’t see anything about British football clubs in a 1930s American cartoon…

Not did they have that white lettering popping up in a modern font.

It’s not the soccer fans I’m saying don’t make sense here… though they don’t and probably can’t.

It’s that a soccer (aka association football) message magically pops up in an American cartoon from 40 or 50 years before most Americans had ever heard of the game, much less the names of any British clubs…

Plus the message is added in a style and font unknown in the 1930s.

Somebody tampered with Popeye!

I’m sure he wasn’t really an Arsenal fan! Not that I’m saying he’d object… he’d just shake his head.

Not buried deep enough, or in a private enough location, to escape digging up by playing children?

I’d say nice find… Might be well worth cleaning up.

But I bet it wasn’t finders keepers, cos there was a crime story involved.

Thanks for both of those.
For others, the bottom U.R.L. sums it up the best of the two, but there are conflicting stories from other sites about what was to happen to the car after it was “stolen” (but I still want to know what happened to Rosendo Cruz and his cohorts).

Looks like one of the Lake Seneca Deer. There was a huge Army Depot there and the area was fenced off. The result was an entire herd of albino deer.

Okay… Is everybody working on finding today’s nine differences?

The whole puzzle is kinda different…. the Cliffords are having a little walk on the weird side.

Nonetheless, one panel is just a bit different from the other, as usual…. And your mission, should you accept it… is to find the nine spots where that occurs.

It’s not impossible!

Don’t be afraid of the pirates or the monsters, or the silly sea serpents… They won’t bother you.

When you’ve found the differences, you can compare with what I’ve found….

I actually found the nine today 🙂

Found eight in relatively short order, was missing the ninth, but guessed where it probably was, then a careful, methodical search found it.

The ninth one I found was:
Claud’s sleeve.

Missed one, as usual. From my vantage point, Nighthawks consistently mislabels these as “Find the Nine Differences.” They should be “.. Eight Differences”, but he keeps slipping in an extra one just to mess with me.

That looks like the plan for LA’s drinking water. Having lived in Flint, MI, I want to send a warning to my LA friends: when “unreasonable” regulations are ignored there are consequences. There is an executive order to increase LA’s water supply “obeying all local regulations so long as they aren’t unreasonably burdensome”.

What happened in Flint: The state took over the cities finances (GM had shut down most operations there leading to a sudden loss of operating revenue for the city). A quick simple (seeming) win was to change the water supply. The cheaper water was being used in other communities so all the testing requirements were just “unreasonable regulations”, right? Flint has lots of lead plumbing. Lead becomes passivated by constant exposure to a fairly consistent water source. If the ph is changed, the passive layer is removed and the lead toxicity is reactivated.

There are no “unreasonable regulations” only painful lessons… trust the pros.

Reading the descriptions:

I have to wonder what kind of “phone” she had in her shoulder bag… cell phones were a far off dream, if anything, in 1965!

Dick Tracy’s 2 way wrist radios were still considered futuristic.

Even if she has a landline phone that she could plug in, in different locations… We didn’t have modular jacks or connectors in 1965. Most homes had one hard wired phone. A second or third one was also hard wired.

….

And a cap gun small enough to fit inside a compact for an 11″ doll, that actually works?? With miniature caps?
Wow.
That might be more collectible than the doll!

…..

A semantic pet peeve…. something often said, but that doesn’t make it right:

She is not wearing “leotards”. She may be wearing a leotard, which is a one piece garment, which may have sleeves, but not legs.
If they’ve pluralized it because they mean her leg covering, akin to trousers… they’re tights.

If it’s like a leotard, but also covers the legs, it can be a body suit or a unitard.

It’s about the same time as Get Smart, so, as Tegressy said, her shoes aren’t right but it’s probably the same communication system.

Wikipedia says car phones were operated in a few US cities as far back as 1948, but the first US large scale car phone system started in 1964.

I first saw a car phone in 1987 or 88, when a real estate broker I worked for bought one… it was supposed to be a newer, smaller model.
He took me for a ride just to show it off.

It was attached to an antenna on the roof of the car. It was as big as… hmmm… a fair size toaster oven, maybe…. was very heavy, perhaps 20 pounds.

It had a receiver like a landline phone, with the same sort of stretchy coiled cord, so you didn’t have to pick up the whole thing… in fact you couldn’t because it was “installed” in a console between the front seats.

Calls were several dollars a minute, incoming or outgoing.

My regional manager in the chocolate company got one about 1992… It came in a suitcase you could carry with you, but was still about 10 pounds, and had the same coiled cord and receiver.

She’d get one of the guys to carry it from her car to our meetings. Calls were down to $2 a minute.

I first saw a car phone in a movie from that time period. I can’t remember which one. Maybe It’s a Mad Mad …. World? Or maybe a James Garner film? I remember a guy in a big white Cadillac Convertible talking on it… possibly a Texas millionaire? And maybe I’m just mixing up a bunch of scenes. Man that was a L O N G time ago.
