SUZY NOEL

I saw all of these films and I loved them then and I love them now. So to have these gems of history and culture in one set of DVDs… I think that’s priceless.

That’s really our history. It’s a part of our culture. It sort of makes us Americans.

Even though that time is gone, these things remain and I just think they’re wonderful. They’re really very close to my heart.

ROMAINE WELLS-MAZER

That was my life! When I watched these films I felt like I was looking at my youth. I identified with absolutely everything in them.

You’ve preserved a part of American history that seems to be shoved under the rug now and that’s wonderful. I am so lucky that I got to grow up in that era. 

I think they’re brilliant. You’re brilliant for doing this! 

ED GILLOW

That was a time of life that was special. And to recapture this on DVD and to see it again… I mean, how great is that? (laugh)

I think these things are great. They’re a reminder of how precious life is. You have to do it!

CYNTHIA YOUNG

What’s so great about this is that you get to see things that you really haven’t thought about in years!  

I expected to be laughing at all of it. And yet a lot times I went, "Ooo, you know, that’s something we were taught that was valuable."

I saw a lot of humor in them… but there’s a lot of heart there too.

MAE HI

A great idea to show at a party. I’m positive – over 100% sure – that people would love it. I gotta have this DVD!

Great present for birthday, for Father’s Day, Mother’s Day.  Any holiday, any special occasion, I think. 

VICTORIA ALLEN

It’s like going through a photo album and seeing a part of your past.  It’s touching in the sense that it’s like, "Wow, I mean that’s a part of my history, of my growing up, my experience."

It’s kind of neat to show your kids and grandkids too because it’s showing them a piece of what has made you who you are.

WILL ALLEN

Looking at ‘em now…it’s just hilarious. I mean if you’re gonna have a party… and you’re gonna watch these DVDs.  I mean, c’mon, that’s some funny stuff.

You wanna raise your kids to have proper manners. And that can be shown on these DVDs. You can laugh at it but still learn. That’s the beauty of it.

HAIL KETCHUM (teenager)

I thought it was one of the most hilarious things I had ever watched. It was almost up there with Napoleon Dynamite as far as stupid, funny movies.  I know I’m making my best friends watch it!

CHRISTIAN CALLOWAY

This is history. An actual moment in time that's never gonna happen again. And now it’s on DVD.  That’s what makes these so great.

People are gonna love it.  I can’t think of a single person that wouldn’t sit there and say, “These are incredible!”

You know what I really like about this collection? You can’t really find it anywhere else. These aren’t all over the Internet. They’re not anyplace but right here, gathered together in this one package.

EDWARD LEE GOLDSTEIN

Why do people like Happy Days and Father Knows Best and all of those shows?  There was an idealism – that in reality never existed other than on television or in films like these. But it was something to shoot for!

I think this is something that the whole family can look at and laugh at.  I can see three generations of my family just laughing hysterically at what life was like back then. These can bridge the generation gap in so many ways.

STEPHEN RICE (teenager)

I’m assuming my parents saw these films in school because, you know, they’ve talked about them and what not. As far as the impact they had on their life… I'd say little to none. (laugh)

The way it’s delivered, it’s like, you’re compelled to watch it and you can’t look away.

DR. JACK MAR

I have a ’66 Chevelle and it is just a great car because it reminds me of that time. And looking back at these films and seeing those old cars was just great.

KENLYN KANOUSE

They’re a total hoot!  I was a history teacher. And I would love to show these in a history class.  Maybe our kids would understand us better if they saw some of these!

JILL MARIE BURKE

I’m glad to see that they haven’t been destroyed or fallen apart or whatever happens to old film footage. I’m glad somebody dug ‘em up and packaged them all together.

I would love to sit down with a couple of my high school friends and watch these. Because we'd just be completely on the floor.

My mother would love to see these!

MARLENE WILLIAMS

I think it’s just fantastic. A really novel idea.  I don’t know why no one’s ever come up with this before.  It’s ingenious really.

KEN WILEY

If kids today want to understand why their parents are so screwed up, they can watch these films and go “Oh, now I understand”!

I realize these are rare films. And to have them all in a collection is just amazing.

JANET’ VINCENT LEE

Let’s just all sit around and get some pretzels and watch these things and just crack up!

That's your first reaction -- to just laugh. But sometimes you laugh and then you go, “Awww… isn’t that sweet. We bought that. We believed that.”   You know, it’s just touching.

I can think of at least half a dozen friends who I would like to share these with right now.

JACQUI BOWE

This is a part of our history. You know, it’s what made us who we are today.

I am just really glad that somebody took the time to go and research and find all those great films so that we can go back and get nostalgic and remember and laugh and cry and… and uh …share ‘em with some friends.

HEATHER GRAFF

I have a friend who’s turning fifty and this would be the perfect gift for her.

It’s wonderful because it has stuff you’re never gonna see anywhere else. You can look at them again and again and see different things.

CASEY ALAN CARVER

You know, maybe America was a little simpler and a little more naïve before. But people did treat each other better and they valued each other more, and maybe if they saw how it used to be they might realize that it can be that way again.

JENNIE FLOYD

I enjoyed these because they reminded me of a time gone by. It kind of brought me back to my childhood and I’d like to be able to show that to my children.

They’re funny, they’re quaint, and I found them in a sweet way, moving.

STUART SHOSTAK

The campiness of these films is that they look like they did when we saw them in school. They’ve got scratches and splices…it’s like watching them with Miss Johnson hovering over you with a ruler telling you to pay attention or you’re headed for the principal’s office.

I think a lot of my friends will remember these from their past and when they see this go, “Oh man, I haven’t seen these in years. These are hilarious. Let’s watch some of this stuff.”

JOHN PARNELL

I wouldn’t mind having these playing at a party because it would evoke conversation. Strangers will start talking to one another and that’s the kind of atmosphere you want at any party.

This collection is definitely a trip down memory lane and I think the baby boomers are gonna to get a big kick out of reliving some childhood memories.

STEVE LEWIS

I can’t think of a better way to bring back memories to a group of people… at a party, or family reunion or gathering or whatever. I think it’s perfect.

SANDRA LYN

I would love to play them at a party one night, you know?  Sittin’ around a dinner party having our wine and then say, “Okay guys.. I got something great for you”.

And what a terrific gift idea… because what do you get a co-worker, or you know maybe a friend you haven’t seen in a while? Or just to have a great little gift just on hand just in case.
