It's six months until Christmas.
-- 46, 48, 49, 182, 186, 188, 189, 191 and 192 (would need to write to Sears and ask if they could specially produce each item in men's XL);

-- 187 (both Miniature Football Helmet Kits in the bottom left);

Thank you, God, for christmas.musetechnical.com, Sears, football, Mom, Dad, the wife, fun and Christmas.
The brilliance of the Allen Ludden/Betty White stewardship of Password lies in their beautiful, shared passion for the game itself. They are not so much TV personalities in this program as they are evangelists for a particular instrument of fun. I love them, and I cannot wait until March 14, 2021, when I plan to watch this March 14, 1975, episode again. Please, Lord.
ReplyDeleteSo excited.
DeletePage 520/Item 6--Manhunt, The Electric Computer Detective Game--looks fantastic. I want to touch it! Check out the "punch card Clue Scanner" and the little plastic car playing pieces.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Page 522/Item 4--Columbo Detective Game--looks to be little more than Milton Bradley's move on Parker Brothers' sweet Clue cash with a cloying appeal to Peter Falk Nation. But the game board is attractive, and I do like it that the game represents women as both executives and sports figures.
ReplyDeleteI am a confirmed, card-carrying Snowflake, so take this for what you will. But Page 522/Item 6--Planet of the Apes game--seems to me to be a little dark for at least the young end of the recommended age range of 8 to 14. "The player having the last human left on the board is the winner." And that cardboard cage for the captured, loser, running-for-their-lives human game pieces is an image that will stick with you.
ReplyDeleteOther than the Odd Couple plug, is there a difference between Challenge Yahtzee (Page 522/Item 7) and regular Yahtzee?
ReplyDeletePage 522, Item 1--Sub Search--has always looked amazing to me, and I've never played it. But the truth is that I've never loved Battleship; it always goes on too long for me, and this appears to be, basically, four simultaneous games of Battleship. So, upon further review, I'm removing Sub Search from my Christmas74/20 list. I'm as shocked as you are.
ReplyDeletePage 50/items 1 and 4--I actually did receive a robe from my wife for Christmas20!
ReplyDeletePage 187--I got out all of my little football helmets and arranged them around the TV before watching Super Bowl LV. I have two Chiefs helmet and one Buccaneers helmet, and those I placed facing each other on the little stand at the base and center of the television. I put the three Dolphins helmets I have on top of the set. Though I was rooting for Kansas City, it still turned out to be an enjoyable evening. I liked the Bruce Springsteen Jeep commercial. But back to Sears, I decided I do not need the goal-post stands, so I'm removing them from my Christmas list for 2021.
ReplyDeletePage 318--Also during Super Bowl LV, I ate popcorn. And I decided I still do want their most popular Butter-Ring Popper.
