I never saw the show as boring because I usually watched it with neighborhood seniors. As such I usually get a snack too so I better like it. But it was a great show to me. I could taste that cold pitcher of Lipton iced tea and I loved Lipton chicken noodle soup. I always thought Arthur was a smooth dude. I usually rate high because I could watch almost anything on tv so long ago!

Yes to us who live 55 years later it would look boring. But not back then. An Arthur Godfrey must have had something going his show hit number one on Radio an TV. The only thing wrong was the girl singer lost to a bluegrass band.

Admittedly Arthur Godfrey's style doesn't appeal much to today's audiences. However, I found the episode to be interesting as an example of 1950s pop culture (and indeed, his various series were popular at the time). The original commercials added greatly to the fun, and he seems quite convincing while doing them. Just a shame the female singer didn't win!
