Lois Griffin voiceover?

Piggy-backing off of MST's statement:

Now we know where Alex Borstein got the voice for Trisha Takanawa, Asian reporter.

No, the voiceover in the commercial might be Eartha Kitt.

Funny, I thought it would've been Tammy Grimes.

The voiceover IS Eartha Kitt. Close your eyes and think of the black Catwoman in the Batman TV show.

That would be pretty amazing if it really was her. I have no other guesses. So, I suppose we'll never know for sure... (crosses arms, waits for answer to magically appear)

This was a great album, but I forgot they did a commercial for it. Now that I think of it, commercials promoting albums, like this one, were big at one time. Got any more?

The album was released in September 1977. My 13th birthday, the month we moved into the house I am still living at, and they month I started Grade 8, and then this album! Peg was one of my favorite songs!

Today, she does the voice of Yzma/Amzy on Disney's Emperor's New School.

I believe this album had one of my favorite songs: Black Cow.

ABC Records was taken over by MCA Records in 1979. In 2003, MCA Records was absorbed in to Geffen Records. Geffen now has the entire ABC and MCA Records catalog. One of the best LP's by Steely Dan. You might find a lot of these in thrift stores.

I remember on Saturday they played concerts of New Wave artists (or I assume they were all New Wave since that's the ones I saw). I used to watch You Can't Do That On Television and this day I still use the one line about starving kids in Japan because they won't eat for a few hours. I grew up in Hazel Crest and we had a split Nick/ARTS channel.

As of late, I think Richard Blade is still on First Wave, only it's now on Sirius/XM Channel 33.

Somebody should have told these guys the real reason why Cronkite was called "Ol' Iron Pants." :-)

Or as the Trib's Gary Deeb called her, "Terry 'Disco' Murphy", for the kind of stories she usually reported on...

I bought my first Zenith about that time - but I went for the 25" model (just over $600.00, or about $100.00 less than what my first VCR cost a year before).

I thought she looked and sounded a bit like Andrea Martin - or her prettier sister (no, not Edna Boil).

Geez. Try to teach a kid math with that today and his reaction would probably be @o.oo
