L.A. Vintage Commercials: Cal Worthington
By DF - Thursday December 15th 2005 |

If you, like me, were a latchkey kid in the LA area in the 80s, you may well have passed more than a few, or perhaps a few hundred, post-school afternoons watching cartoons. I spent countless blissful hours of my tender youth vegetating in this manner, but if you asked me to recount the plot of a single Voltron or G.I. Joe episode, I’d draw a blank (except for the Scooby-Doo where Phyllis Diller guest-starred).
What do I remember? The commercials. Not all of them of course, but the really good ones, the ones with the themes and the jingles that bring back the smoggy-lunged, air conditioned, TV-brainmushed afternoons like they were yesterday. And to my surprise, I found that I’m not alone in this. I went to college on the east coast, and whenever I ran into anyone from southern California, all I had to do was sing a few bars of the Pete Ellis Dodge jingle and baby – we had a stew goin’. Instant cultural camaraderie – like the ethnicity I always wanted but never had.
I’ll begin with perhaps the most famous and beloved of all these commercials, the Cal Worthington genre. Cal is a car-selling cowboy; the closest visual equivalent I can think of is the Sam Elliott character in Lebowski. Cal was a throwback to the days when California still had a bit of a wild-west aesthetic, though why he bought ad space for his several Ford dealerships during children’s cartoons remains unclear to me.
The genius of the Worthington commercials was severalfold. First was their jingle – a simply and catchy tune that wormed its way into your head like a weevil, based on its uncanny similarity to the camp ditty “If You’re Happy and You Know It.” Even trickier was his lyrical sleight of hand. The song’s chorus “Go see Cal” was often replaced with the sound-alike nonsense phrase “Pussycow” so that impressionable young viewers such as myself were titillated. Did Cal just say “pussy”? Is there something adult-themed going on at Worthington Ford? I swore years ago to find out, but never got around to it.
The Cal Worthington commercials stuck in the adolescent brain also thanks to their thematic bait-and-switch. The introduction to these ads invariably promised “Cal Worthington and his dog Spot”yet the animal accompanying Cal was never a dog. It was an elephant, a tiger, a goat, or some other god-forsaken fauna, but the promised dog never materialized. Watching these ads as a nine-year-old, I first realized: grownups are filthy, filthy liars.
To be fair to Cal, though, making these commercials was hard work, because showbiz animals, like human actors, piss all over you. The difference is that with animals it’s not merely a euphemism. Cal braved both a mighty geyser of elephant urine and a close-up stream of baby-goat whiz to bring us these classic ads. Thanks pardner. And for what it’s worth, Cal’s business still appears to be going strong, and while I may have an unhealthy obsession with the guy, at least I’m not as stalker-y as the person who created this cyberhagiography.

i remember pussycow and devry during nanny and the professor, and the evelyn woodhead speed reading class ,,,,, how can u read so fast?????????
Hey does anyone remember this one?
It’s not your fault
You’re not alone
The Shick Shadel Institute
First I ever heard of rehab (though not last, obv.). Often kids on the playground would say “aw, Shick Shadel Institute” as a way of expressing “aw, shit” without getting in trouble.
Wow! Hadn’t thought of that one in eons! I remember the Schick Institute and the “It’s not your fault; you’re not alone”, but I don’t remember Schick Institute having the second part of the name.
Does anybody else remember Baby Daphne in the mornings?
“Evelyn Woodhead” was a spoof commercial on (I think) one of Cheech and Chong’s albums. It was actually the Evelyn Wood speed-reading course.
Helm’s had a bakery in Beaumont (where I lived), and it smelled soooo good! I bet you could toot-toot one of those Helm’s whistles today and anyone of a certain age who grew up in SoCal would begin salivating like one of Pavlov’s dogs.
Remember the Jewel Tea Vans?
I remember the dog Storm (and later “Storm, the second”) as being Chick Lambert’s dog. Ralph Williams came across as huckster all the way, while Chick would come across all sincere and low key. Cal Worthington said in an interview I saw that he saw him and said “Well if he’s gonna have a dog, I’ve gotta have one, too!”.
Firesign Theater spoofed Ralph Williams as (who knows why) “Ralph Spoilsport”. “…two-way see-through wind vents, edible steering column, chrome fender dents, and factory air-conditioned air, from our fully factory equipped, air-conditioning factory!…”; “…for you friends, a special price: only two-ninety-five, HUN-dred dollars”! ; …in the beautiful city of, EM-physema!”; and so on.
The Fuller brush man, who sold those hairbrushes with the coarse black bristles and brown plastic handle that were so durable my father’s still using one that’s over 40 years old and looks almost new.
A friend of mine talks about living near JungleLand and sneaking in under the fence in a place where a drainage swale created a gap. She says the staff knew it was happening but didn’t sweat it.
“Fright Night” with Seymour, who would pop up in one corner of the screen from time to time during the movie to make some sarcastic comment; and would recap the movie during breaks and then run a snippet of the movie to illustrate. It would always be a joke of some sort.
Watching old cartoons in the afternoon. In high school, I would come home and watch “Rocky and His Friends” or “The Bullwinkle Show”. Oh and the space-puppet shows like “Fireball XO-5″, with all their cool machines and such. And reruns of “The Twilight Zone” and “The Outer Limits”.
Roller Derby: Trailer-park girls being violent. Strange but cool and a little sexy. Go T-Birds!
Hobo Kelly always sorta weirded me out when I was little. My little-boy brain could not grasp why a hobo would be obviously female.
Before Miller’s Outpost there was “Lou Miller’s Levi’s and More”.
The PantStop, where they sold jeans for 5 bucks.
Fedco, where, in order to get a membership card, you had to work for a local, state or federal Govt. or a government contractor. Those were nice stores with all kinds of stuff, from fine crystal to groceries. Sorta pre-Costco/Sam’s Club.
Thrifty ice cream, a nickel a scoop, sugar cone no extra charge.
Hughes Air West, the o-o-o-o-o-o-only way to fly.
Channels 5, 9, and 11 were pretty strong competition to the network stations, while channel 13 was always sort of cheesy.
Wolfman Jack: “X-E-R-B! Fifty thousand watts of so-o-o-o-o-u-ll powah!”
Here’s a question: Did he say “Hot mercy baby!”, or “Have mercy baby!” It always sounded to me like he said “Hot Mercy!”.
I remember going down to Tijuana to get the car reupholstered, get furniture reupholstered, buy weird stuff like bullwhips and handmade marionettes and cowhide leather stuff that had the hair still on it. And of course buy fireworks and “firewater” (Mexican booze that my Dad would try to smuggle back in the bottom of the trunk and which was usually found and confiscated at the border).
And I always just heard “Go see Cal” in those commercials, though my grandmother thought they were saying “pussycat”.
JeffL – thanks for bring back so many great memories!

the o-o-o-o-o-o-only way to fly. Remember the bird?:

What memories.
I recall in 1949, TV was catching on. KTLA would come on around 4pm with a test pattern. 30 minutes later, test pattern would be replaced with an animated drawing of the Paramount Studios logo (the mountain). (Paramount owned KTLA back then. The background music to that animation was Sleigh Ride. Then Stan Chambers and Ken Grau would appear and give you the schedule for the evening. KTLA would go off the air around 11pm. As a kid, one of the programs I liked came on at 6pm, Doye ODell, a singing cowboy. He would show a cowboy movie divided into 3 parts spread over 3 shows. At 6:45 was Handy Hints with Dorothy Gardner and Dick Gartner(?). At 7 was the Shell News with Gil Martin. On Sunday evenings, Charlie Ruggles had a sitcom comedy show sponsored by Dr Ross dog food.
I recall some of the other stations that were around in 1950: Ch 2 was KTSL, 4 was KNBH?, 5, KTLA, 7 KECA, 9 KHJ? (a Don Lee station), 11 KTTV, 13 KLAC.
As a kid, TV back then was sheer magic.
What memories.
So was it … “Doctor Ross Dog Food is Dog Gone Good. Woof!”
Re: Doctor Ross Dog Food, yes indeed, that was it. I can even remember the melody. It was a catchy tune and played a lot on TV. By knowing the melody, you can’t help but recall the words. Very clever advertisement.
Another clever one was Mission Pak which advertised every Christmas season starting in the early 50′s. Mission Pak shipped gift fruit baskets as Christmas gifts.
Say the magic word,
Say Mission Pak,
And it’s on its merry way
No gift so bright, so gay so right
Give the Mission Pak right away.
To be honest, that is how I remember it, but it may not be 100% right, especially the last 2 lines. But I think it is close.
Nancy’s mention of Doye O’Dell brought back a memory of long ago. My Mom, aunt, cousin and myself got to meet Doye and the musicians he was working with while they were rehearsing for a show sometime during the early 1950′s. Can’t remember the location for certain, but I am thinking it was somewhere where he was making an appearace rather than at the KTLA studio. I think I was 5 or 6 years old at the time.
Oh, man. It seems like another lifetime ago remembering all these commercials, which by the way I now can’t get out of my mind! They were horrible, weren’t they. Someone should compile all these. I’ve found a few you guys mentioned and a couple others:

Bob Spreen Cadillac, where the freeways meet in Downey.
Boy, this thread has had a long shelf life! Found my old post from 2007 :)
Just a couple other SoCal things that came to mind while perusing the updates… Wild West stores, with the Beach Boys jingle “W-w-Wiiiiild West… your California clothing store!” And does anyone but me remember Char-Burger and Baker’s Tacos?
And re: the Hughes AirWest spots – they were “The Big Banana in the West!”
OK, If you remember those Hughes Air West ads, you must remember the PSA, Air California and Western Airlines ads too!
“Come on and fly with us, you fly with the Best, PSA, The Best in The West” and “Our Smiles aren’t just painted on!”
Does anyone remember “Giant Felix Chevrolet” Washington & Figueroa? How about “Hunter Boat Sales” Hi Bill Hunter here from Hunter Boat Sales.
And my favorite: Don Adams here for “California Pines” in beautiful Modoc County, Just a few short hours from Los Angeles, we do the outside and you finish the inside as a family project.
The good ol days.
Yes, I do remember Giant Felix Chevrolet at Washington and Figuraoa. I went to Virgil Jr. High in the mid-1960s and across the street was Leon Ames Ford… and in 1963, the “Monte Carlo Edition” Fords were introduced. They had Landau vinyl roofs and simulated wire wheels along with those white wall tires. The ’63 Thunderbird had an optional 425 horsepower engine… making most of todays engines seem wimpy… but gas was cheap back then.
I may have this reverse, but before Leon Ames Ford, there was Ralph Williams Ford. Whichever one was first, there was some legal problem causing the second to take over. As I said, I may have the order reversed. Does anybody remember?
Does anyone know if any of Ralph Williams’ commericals still exist and are available for viewing? I have seen the Chick Lambert commercial where he rips Ralph a new one but I would really enjoy watching an actual Ralph Williams commercial.
The Museum of Television and Radio in Los Angeles may be able to help locate these commercials. As I remember him, Ralph Williams was rather dull as a personality, but I liked his dog. I remember the announcer for Stanley Chevrolet during the late 50s who advertised 2 cars for the price of one. You would get the “quality used car” and the second one “for the wife” would be free. Of course, it looked like something they would never be able to sell. I would love to see those again.. lol. I would also love to hear Molly Bee singing the commercial. There is a youtube video of a man playing a guitar singing it, but it’s not the exact same melody I recall.
Even as a 9 year old watching Ralph Williams’ commercials I knew he was a shyster. His hard sell approach was so over-the-top compared to some of the pitchmen one sees on TV today. I kind of miss the simplicity of those long ago days when someone like Ralph Williams could actually be on TV. He didn’t pretend to be your friend and made no bones about it. He wanted your money and even as a young child I understood that. In a weird kind of a way, it somehow seems refreshingly honest.
You might check YouTube for some of the old Ralph Williams ads.
Does anyone remember who the car dealer was that honored Sunday by being closed? I think I remember “Taylor” something……….
what i’d like to find out is:who was the salesman who did the commercials for Leon ames ford during the all night movies back in the 1960′s in it he would introduce himself and his dog storm.
My next-door neighbors in the 1960s were the Taylors of Taylor-Slatin Ford in Huntington Park — could the “Taylor” dealership you are thinking of been that one? Taylor-Slatin Ford was on Pacific Avenue and it closed in 1971. I believe there was another dealership with Taylor in the name somewhere in the L.A. area, so perhaps I could be that one too.
Thanks for remembering. Seems to me Frank Taylor Ford(?) comes to mind. This was in the early to mid 60′s.
Ah memories. Yes, I too remember Frank Taylor Ford and no Sunday selling. Remember Central Chevrolet with Dick Lane? He would stand and advertise a car; when finished, the car would be driven away replaced by the one behind it. He used to slam his hand on a fender while making a point. One time, he left a dent in a fender. Another tine, he was almost runned over by an approaching car. Live TV! (By the way, this was the same Dick Lane that appeared on the early Spade Cooley shows, wrestling and roller derby on KTLA. He liked to say “Whoe Nellie”.) It is great remembering these oldies but goodies. Many I had forgotten. Does anybody remember Fletcher Jones Chevrolet. I think he was at 4610 Crenshaw Blvd. Thanks, all, for the memories. Keep them coming.
Ha! There was a place in Altadena where my parents and all their high school friends used to park and neck. The guys called it “dick lane.”
Dick Lane! Who couldn’t forget his announcing trackside at the “Jalopy (Destruction Derby) Races”! As a kid I remember those old Hudsons racing around. Bet they wouldn’t do that today! The Hudson’s would be too valuable! Seems to me one of the sponsors was Hub Furniture and Loan (or maybe that was during the Wrestling Matches). Someone must know.
I too remember the car ads he did, but not the name of the dealership. Dick Lane and KTLA were icons on early Southern California TV!
Remember when KCOP was a Chris-Craft station with all those travel shows?
Doug,
I had almost forgotten about Hub Furniture, if I remember the commerical use to show the stores sign an animated wagon wheel with a broken spoke. I think the loan co. was Aames Home Loans. Does anyone remember Lou’s Garage they were a sponsor when Dick Lane called the wrestling at the Olympic Auditorium, Lou’s gave away “Beatle Wigs” with every tune-up or something like that.
Wow… you guys are thinking of stuff I almost forgot about. I saw a movie about a year ago made in the mid-1940s and one character stuck out and I couldn’t put my finger on who it was. It was Dick Lane and all those memories came back. I also remember Hub Furniture, the “Destruction Derby” and “Roller Derby”.. what fun!
Talking about the old TV stations, I was on both “House Party” and “Cartoon Express” with Engineer Bill as a boy. Great memories, but another show I loved was the travel show with Hal Linker and his wife and son. They went to Europe, South America and Asia. Their theme song was “The Happy Wanderer”… do you recall that?
Yeah! The Happy Wanderer! What a great show. I’ve included a link to a website that includes a little info about the show and the theme song! Here’s the link… http://www.qsl.net/n7jy/wanderer.html
Well, with the passing of Walter Conkrite a lot of memories came back. Yes he was part of our nightly family and he was a personal comfort to us during the death of JFK, RFK and MLK and Vietnam. He was the Anchorman of our era bring the news and the world into our living rooms every night. It was an eveing ritual for us kids. Dinner, Walter Conkrite and then Bed. R.I.P.
Se habla espanol at Lou’s garage! I think that is some of the first Spanish I ever heard.
For those of you wondering if there are any Ralph Williams commercials available, go to YouTube and doa search for “Ralph Williams”. You will find a commercial parody done for a Ralph Williams dealership near San Francisco by Chick Lambert – his sales manager. Chick refers to Williams as a “bald-headed p***k” who will rape everyone in the San Francisco bay area and spend the money on prostitutes, booze and crap tables in Las Vegas. I literally doubled up from laughing so hard.
As another Southern California native I’ve just bumped into this site – perhaps someone can help my aging memory out a bit! For years I’ve been trying to remember the Southern California (LA?) car dealership that was the frequent sponsor of late-night movies before good ol’ Cal W. got into the act. If my memory serves, Johnny Carson used to lampoon him a bit after he moved to L.A. Can anyone help?????
I believe that was good ol Ralph Williams Ford on Ventura Blvd. in Encino. He also was a surprise guest on Johnny, he popped out of a box or from behind a door and went right into his speech: Hi friends Ralph Williams here.
By the way, my Mom and Dad would drive along Ventura Blvd. at night and the his salesmen would come right up to our car as were stopped at the light and tried to direct us into the lot. LOL
Read an interview in the 80′s from a former Worthington employee. Seems to me they used to spot cars getting off the Freeway and would get ready to “greet” the customers when they came anyway near the car lot. Such high pressure might work, but not for me!
Reminds me, I recently saw an old picture of a Tiny Naylor’s and Dupar’s restaurants recently. I still have my Sambo’s red/white/blue thermos from 1976. It’s good for a 25 cent refill of coffee if only I can find a Sambo’s Pancake House!
Before he went to work for Ralph Williams, Chick Lambert used to host late night movies. He was then working for Brand Motors Ford City, which I believe eventually became Ralph Williams Ford. Chick had his dog Storm even back then.
Doug – you mentioned Sambo’s – I believe (but not totally certain) that the Sambo’s chain went totally belly up many years ago.
Doug – just for the hell of it I did an internet search and son of a gun – Sambo’s does still exist !
Ralph Williams: ” Hi, friends, Ralph Williams; president and owner of Ralph Williams Ford, the world’s LARGEST Ford dealership, located at One-Five, Eight Hundred, Ventura Boulevard, in the city…of Encino…where we have literally acres and acres and acres of new and used cars and trucks for you to chose from….”
That’s how I remember it. You could instantly tell he was a crook.
And how about, “Se habla Espanol at Giant Felix Chevrolet”.
The Shrine Auditorium right down the road, where I saw The Doors perform when I was 18.
I used to work in downtown Los Angeles. I sure remember that Giant Felix Chevrolet sign.
Sure could go for a Tommy’s Burger at Beverly & Rampart. The Pantry Restaurant was just down the street on Figueroa and we would even make it over to Philippe’s near Union Station. This was in the late 70′s and places may have changed, but they were the places to go in my day!
I came across this blog and website last week, boy do I remember all of those commericals. I grew up in Burbank during the 60′s through the late 70′s. Cal Worthington was always my favorite.
Ralph Williams I hated. Don’t forget Jack LaLaine, who is still alive and plugging his juice machine. He like Cal Worthingthon have not aged one bit.
My favorite radio stations were KMPC 710AM with Dick Whittinghill, Roger Carroll, Gary Owens and Johnny Magnus. Then later when they moved over to KPRZ – Music of your life. Then KHJ 93. I agree with everyone else on Tom Hatten doing his Popeye drawings and hosting Movie for a Saturday/Sunday eveningson KTLA 5. Who can’t forget Hobo Kelly(Sally Baker)on KCOP 13, Sherriff John(John Rovik) on KTTV 11. I think Baby Daphine(Patricia Blake- Please don’t eat the Daisies)was on KHJ 9. I also remember Felix the Cat, Rocky & Bullwinkle (which is shown on WGN 9 out of Chicago on Saturday nights now).
Who can forget Zody’s on San Fernando Road in Burbank, along with the old Cornell Theater where all seats were $0.49. And Bob’s Big Boy on Riverside Drive and San Fernando Rds. And PicWick recreation center with the famous round swimming pool with the rough floor. How about the old Market Basket, Alpha Beta, Vons, Hughes and Gleason grocery stores?
And how about the 4th of July at McCambridge park. I used to work that event almost every year from age 10 to age 18. How about watching the Santa Claus Lane Parade with Hobo Kelly on KCOP and Bill Welsh on KTTC 11. Does anyone remember when Hobo Kelly would host the annual Toys for Tots toy drive for the LA area Marine Corps.
How about the sporting goods store on Victory Blvd near Olive I think it was called HUMES that would put out live Christmas trees with lights on them and have giant pine cones attached to every one of them. How about the Cast-a-ways resturant up on the hill? I could go on forever
Mike, Thanks for the great recap. I was raised in Hollywood in the 50s and my mom had a radio show on KMPC on Sundays called “Bolero Time” which featured Xavier Cugat, Desi Arnaz and other Latin American artists. I remember Johnny Magnus, Dick Whittinghill and Bill Balance. Betty White recorded radio commercials for the station and remember her there, as well. They played the best music all the way through the 60s like Dionne Warwick, Sinatra, Count Basie, 101 Strings and David Rose. A romantic mix of music. My mom rode in the Santa Claus Lane Parade on Hollywood Boulevard in the early 1960s and I still have some snapshots in a white convertible.
I was on 2 of the local TV shows, “Cartoon Express” with Engineer Bill and the following year in 1957 I was on “House Party” with Art Linkletter. My favorite show of all was Sheriff John. I also watched “Popeye” with Tom Hattan and his “squiggle pictures”.. do you recall that?
I still sing the commercials for Dr. Ross Dog Food, Thrifty Drug Stores, Brillcream, and Bardahl.
Oh sure I remember Market Basket markets. There was a big one at Pioneer Square in Norwalk (which was the outer edge of the suburbs back then and ZODY’S, White Front and the Akron. Gosh, the Akron was a great store!
We used to go to the Redondo Beach pier, but a 25 cent “drop line” which was green fishing line wrapped about a yellow plastic holder and drop the lines over the pier. We used to catch sunfish and halibut right on the pier and use the public wash tables to clean the fish and take them home to eat them. Yeah, it was safe in those days. On the pier was “The Fisherman Grotto” which had the best deep fried scallops and home made clam chowder on earth. Does anyone remember Castagnolas or Tony’s on the pier? Just a few blocks towards Palos Verdes was the Plush Horse Inn and the Velvet Turtle restaurants. Both were very elegant.
Great memories!! Thanks!
Christian,
I agree KMPC was the best station for music. Growing up in So Cal was a good thing back in the early 60s and 70′s. In 1979 I joined up with the Air Force. I now live in Minnesota, but think of when things were a lot simpler. I used to shop at the Akron on Hollywood Way in Burbank all the time. My frineds and I used to go to the Santa Monica Pier and then down to Pacific Ocean Park (POP), that place was awesome. Do you remember when Hollywood Blvd would have those green christmas tree that would turn around. How about when Hobo Kelly had that long pole with a microphone hooked up to it and talk with Santa on that old sleigh with the ramp.
Where do you live now? How about the old tunnel going up to griffith park on the west side toward the old Hollywood Sign.
As far as people I had met while living in Beautiful Downtown Burbank,
I had met alot of the stars that were on the Hollywood Squares, Doc Severitson, Ed McMahn, Jerry Dumphy from CBS news, Bob Hope, Dick Rowan and Dan Martin, some of the cast from Laugh In. I would go with my Grandmother and my Aunt to Television City in Los Angeles and go and see the The Price is Right, Tattle Tales, Match Game and several times to see Carol Burnett
Christian, I forgot I do remember Tom Hatten…is he still alive?
As far as Ralph Williams was concerned he was the biggest crook of them all. He made Cal Worthington look like a saint in comparision. I always remember when he would come on it would be like this…”Hi folks, Ralph Williams here and my dog Storm” he would always nudge at the dog and the dog would then bark mainly because he was so damn old.
Hey Mike,
I went into the air force in 1969, so about 10 years earler. I am in Palm Springs now. Yes, Tom Hatten is still alive. He is 83 and looks great. Here is his page…

Here is Engineer Bill… a great show!

Great stuff!
Christian, Johnny Magnus is alive and going strong. He was a DJ on Music of Your Life until a few years ago! Do you remember when he would do the Weather Forcast “to a beat”? Cool!!!
Do you have an Air Check of your Mom’s show? I remember the name but was [probably too young to understand and know the music). Would be neat today! Something different.
Love the old KMPC and KRLA!
KMET….deedle dee!
