Anybody else see the irony in using a penguin to show off a color set?

But, a penguin could be great for checking convergence.

Here in Brazil, in the 1950's, people used to put those porcelan penguins on the top of their refrigerators.

I think here was the only country where such a silly thing was done.

The Andy Williams Show or Perry Como

DVD's of either or both of these programs would be great on an old color set; I know a number of both have been restored, PBS has shown exceprts on the pledge drives and specials.

Andy Williams

The Andy Williams Show is on DVD--sort of. There are two different sets--two discs with three shows each. They're labeled as full episodes but in fact they've been hacked to bits--I figure about half the running time is gone--and in weird ways. Solos by Andy are cut but a dance routine with Mary Tyler Moore is there. (OK by me!) But they do have the peacock, the opening and closing credits, and they look very good. Netflix them before you buy them.
