This is a commercial from BlueTax.com.  I think that it should be removed from being shown on TV because it is encouraging people to not pay their taxes. 

What is most annoying about this particular commercial is that the character is talking matter-of-factly, as though it's all right to do this; that anyone can do this; and that anyone can pay less than he owes. It's like telling people "Don't be a fool. Wait until you wind up with a tax debt of $20,000, then come to BlueTax and we will get a settlement of only $1,600."

The first scene of the movie "This Property is Condemned".  The girl is Mary Badham, who you will remember as "Scout" in "To Kill a Mockingbird".  That movie was made 4 years before "Condemned".

This is a "Soundie" video.  Soundies were an early version of the music video:  three-minute musical films, produced in New York, Chicago, and Hollywood between 1940 and 1946, often including short dance sequences.  This one is by the Mills Brothers singing "Paper Doll", with Dorothy Dandridge as the tiny, dancing doll.

Another "Soundie" with Dorothy Dandridge.  It has an interesting balancing act by the waiter dancing with Dandridge.  The song is "Lazy Bones", performed by Hoagy Carmichael, who also wrote the song.

This is a video of a "Father Knows Best" episode where there are two accidents which were left in the episode.  First, Robert Young ("Father") almost falls down when he trips over a footstool.  Then, a short time later, Jane Wyatt ("Mother") accidentally knocks over some kitchen counter containers while she wiping down the counter.  I can understand the producers leaving in the kitchen accident, but I don't know why the producers didn't redo the Robert Young accident.

During the Second World War, American citizens were encouraged by the Government to save fat from meat, and turn it in for "the war effort".  Here is a Walt Disney propaganda video from those days regarding that subject.
