★★★★ · Mary Hartline · John Picarello · 2018-02-05
I just came across Super Circus from watching archives of old television commercials.There was one for a Mary Hartline doll & since I never heard of her I did some research & came across this video. I'm sure I would have watched this show if it was broadcast in my home state of NJ when I was growing up. My main reason for writing this is I just wanted to ask Cevad what are his guidelines for judging someone's weight.To say that Mary was a "heffer", & "FAT", is totally unacceptable even if she was overweight , which,by the way, she wasn't! Of course, if your standard was Twiggy, everyone else…

Facinating little Live TV broadcast here.

I love watching these Super Circus shows but other than the nostalgic value and my love for Snickers I don't know why! The clowns scare the crap out of me and Mary Hartline is a heffer! I guess back then her body type was considered attractive but I just see her as FAT! She is the Vanna White of her day... no talent and no purpose other than smiling and doing what the producer told her to do! I want a Snickers.
