00:06Every day
00:30Who you are, who you are, depends on what you do. What you do is mostly up to you. It's
00:41true, you can make a better you.
00:46Every day is a new world that I'm eager to explore. Every day, opportunity knocks at my door. Every day,
00:57I'm loving, living more and more and more.
01:01And every day is better than... Keep on saying, yes I can. And every day is better than before.
01:14Keep on saying, yes I can.
01:23You are one of the best parts of my life. I'm eager to go.
01:31You are one of the best parts of my life. You are one of the best parts of my life.
01:48I think I bet my wonton.
01:52What are you doing up in the middle of the night anyway?
01:56Oh, well, a hard time sleeping, huh?
01:59I'm worried about the business.
02:01Oh, come on now.
02:03I guess we have been losing some customers since hardware.
02:07Heaven opened up their new branch.
02:11Is that what's keeping you up?
02:13No, no, no, no.
02:15I was worried somebody would finish my broccoli and goat cheese casserole.
02:21Trust me.
02:23It would have stayed there all winter.
02:30You know, Curtis,
02:32you really don't have to worry.
02:34Hey, M&B hardware can stand a little competition,
02:39even from a big chain.
02:41You really think so?
02:42Absolutely.
02:43And always remember, we're in this together.
02:45You have got me for a business partner.
02:48Oh, Lord.
02:54Hi, we didn't know anybody else was up.
03:00Oh, what are you doing up, son?
03:02Oh, I'm too worried to sleep.
03:04And I can't sleep because he can't sleep.
03:07So what are you worried about, Ted?
03:09Well, there are 40,000 first-year law students in the United States,
03:13and we are all graduating at the same time.
03:15Now, how am I ever going to find a job?
03:17I read in the paper that 72% of all law students flunk the bar exams.
03:27Oh, that's good.
03:28Right.
03:28No, wait a minute.
03:29That's bad.
03:30What if I flunk?
03:31No way.
03:33You are the smartest man in the whole McGibbon family.
03:37Hmm.
03:40What's going on?
03:41Becky, what are you doing up?
03:43I can't sleep.
03:44Oh, what's the matter, sweetheart?
03:46Patty and I had a fight.
03:48I'm not going to speak to her for 100 million years.
03:51Well, by that time, you'll have a lot to catch up on.
03:54Trust me, Becky, you and Patty will make up.
03:57You sure?
03:58Positive.
03:59Best friends fight all the time.
04:02Boy, you and Grandpa must really be best friends.
04:05Oh, my God.
04:16Hey, it's party time.
04:21Kevin, you too?
04:23It's 1.30 in the morning.
04:25I can't sleep.
04:26So, what are you worried about?
04:29I'm worried my Annie Bites will be canceled before I'm old enough to watch it.
04:34Well, as long as we're all up, let's eat.
04:37Oh, thank you.
04:39All right.
04:40Oh, this looks good.
04:42Hmm.
04:44Hmm.
04:45What is it?
04:46My science project.
04:47I'm learning to grow mold.
04:59Things are sure slow around here.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Our business died and went to hardware heaven.
05:12Can I help you, Maddox?
05:15Welcome to M&B, home of all your hardware needs.
05:18Today, we have a special, a two-for-one sale.
05:21You buy any two items, and I, for one, will be thrilled.
05:26Two-for-one thrilled, Mrs. B.
05:31Uh, what can I do for you, madam?
05:34I'd, uh, I'd like a fly swatter.
05:36One fly swatter coming right up.
05:40There you are.
05:41How much is that?
05:42A dollar sixty-five.
05:44Oh, I can get that at hardware heaven for 99 cents.
05:47Oh.
05:48Well, maybe so, but will they take the time to show you how to use it?
05:56I, I, I don't think so.
05:58No, of course not.
06:02Oh, you're in luck.
06:03There's our demonstration fly now.
06:08Demonstration fly?
06:09Yes, yes, he just works for us.
06:12Yes.
06:15Ah.
06:16Uh-huh.
06:16Uh-huh.
06:20Uh-huh.
06:50I'm going to hardware heaven.
06:52Uh-huh.
06:54Uh-huh.
07:00Attention, everyone.
07:02Our troubles are over.
07:05I have in this box a sure-fire sales promotion.
07:09I knew you wouldn't let us down, Curtis.
07:11What brilliant idea have you come up with?
07:14Promotional potholders.
07:16There we are.
07:18One side our name, on the other,
07:19when your home repair problem is too hot to handle.
07:24Ha!
07:25I, um, I hate to burst your bubble, Curtis,
07:29but I haven't seen promotional potholders
07:32since Wendell Wilkie ran for president.
07:36I like Wilkie.
07:38Whoop, whoop, whoop.
07:40Customer at four o'clock.
07:41Hey, that looks like, uh, Fred Dunlap, the TV star.
07:45Oh, yeah.
07:46Good morning, everybody.
07:47May I help you, Mr. Dunlap?
07:49Freeze!
07:52I will take care of Mr. Dunlap.
07:55Good morning, sir.
07:56What can I do for you today?
07:58Well, sir, uh, I have a problem with my dish spritzer.
08:01You see, there's a kink in the whatchamacallit,
08:02and every time I turn it on,
08:03instead of spritzing out the front,
08:04it sort of goes like,
08:06out the side.
08:07Do you know what I mean?
08:10Oh.
08:11Uh, allow me.
08:13Uh, allow me.
08:15Does it go,
08:17or is it spritzing and
08:19at the same time?
08:22Well, no, it's spritzing and going,
08:24yes.
08:24Oh, well, you're lucky.
08:25You've got a little spritz left.
08:27Yes, I know.
08:29Uh, sometimes,
08:31sometimes the
08:32turns into
08:36How do I fix it?
08:38Uh.
08:41Allow me.
08:45Obviously, you need a replacement hose.
08:47I would suggest nylon
08:48and a few number three clamps.
08:51I'll get them for you, sir.
08:52Okay, thank you.
08:52You know, if I had to call a plumber,
08:54it would cost me a fortune.
08:56Oh, yes?
08:56I'll cut the hose for you, Mr. McGibbon.
08:58Of course you will.
09:02You know, Mr. Dunlap,
09:04I, I, I just love your TV show,
09:06Wake Up Pasadena.
09:08It's my favorite program.
09:12It must be exciting
09:13to be a talk show host.
09:15Well, it is, it is,
09:16but it's, it's hard work.
09:17Yeah.
09:17You know, I do five shows a week.
09:19No.
09:19Yes.
09:20Sometimes I don't know
09:21where my next guest is coming from.
09:22Oh, really?
09:23Yes.
09:24Oh.
09:24Here you are, Mr. Dunlap.
09:27I wrote out a few simple instructions
09:30as to installing the new hose.
09:32You should have it fixed
09:34in, oh, ten minute tops.
09:36Thank you very much, sir.
09:37I don't know what I'd do without you.
09:38You know, you are a regular Mr. Fix-It.
09:41Curtis McGibbon is Mr. Fix-It.
09:44What?
09:46Here is your next guest
09:48for Wake Up Pasadena, Mr. Fix-It.
09:51You know, that's not a bad idea.
09:54It's a great idea.
09:56Oh, I don't think I'm TV material.
10:03Although a great many people say
10:05I have a strong resemblance to Mr. Whipple.
10:10I, uh, I like it.
10:11I mean, it's folksy.
10:12Oh, yeah.
10:13Mr. McGibbon's as folksy as you can get.
10:15He sure is.
10:16Okay, let's do it.
10:17I'm gonna talk to my producer.
10:18We'll set it up for next week.
10:19How about that?
10:20Oh, wonderful.
10:21And would you just charge this, please?
10:23Sure.
10:25Oh, how great.
10:26Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
10:27How about that?
10:29Congratulations, Mr. McGibbon.
10:30Oh, now everybody will know
10:32what M&B has to offer
10:33that hardware heaven doesn't.
10:36Personal service.
10:38We are going to be great on TV.
10:41By joke, I can see it now.
10:43What do you mean, we?
10:49Well, I just assumed
10:51that I was going to be on television with you.
10:53Assume this
10:57over my dead body.
11:02Why can't I be on TV?
11:04Because when it comes to home repair,
11:06you are a total and complete incompetent.
11:10You'll mess things up
11:11and make a fool out of me.
11:13Well, aside from that...
11:17Curtis, please, look.
11:18It's not for me.
11:20It's for our grandchildren.
11:23Would you deny little Kevin and Becky
11:26the thrill of seeing their grandmother on television?
11:30But just look at those sad little eyes.
11:32They seem to be saying,
11:33let Grandma be on television.
11:36Funny.
11:37In my pictures of Kevin and Becky,
11:40their sad little eyes seem to be saying,
11:44tell Grandma to buzz off.
11:51Can you believe the cost of groceries nowadays?
11:54Mom, what are you doing with Curtis' old chair?
11:56Well, Curtis will not let me go on television with him
12:00because he says I don't know anything about making home repairs.
12:04Well, this ought to show him.
12:06Well, he's getting the mail.
12:07He'll be right in.
12:08Good.
12:13Curtis, I fixed your lounge chair.
12:16Oh, you did, did you?
12:19Yes, I did, did I?
12:22Now, look.
12:24See, takes a load off your feet.
12:27Takes a load off your mind.
12:31Now, for a little relaxing vibration.
12:57Whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:01Whoa, whoa.
13:14Mom, are you all right?
13:18Yeah.
13:26I never felt so relaxed in my life.
13:33Lucille?
13:35Your fate is sealed.
13:37You are not going on television with me.
13:45Well, you tried, Mom.
13:47Yeah.
13:56A lot of good it did me.
13:58A lot of good it did me.
14:00Mom, can I get you anything?
14:01You want a cup of herb tea or something?
14:03Herb who?
14:07Tea.
14:08No, thank you.
14:11All right.
14:12I'll just sit here all by myself.
14:18Nobody needs me.
14:20Nobody wants me.
14:22Nobody's listening.
14:26They're all out of pathetic range.
14:30Becky!
14:31No!
14:32Come on, Becky.
14:34Please!
14:35Forget it.
14:35No way.
14:36No way.
14:36No way.
14:37Oh, boy.
14:38Oh, boy.
14:39Oh, boy.
14:45What's the matter?
14:47Oh, nothing.
14:49Oh!
14:57Oh, come on, Kevin.
15:04Obviously, something's wrong.
15:07Becky and Patty won't let me play with them.
15:11Oh, why won't you let Kevin play with you?
15:14Because he doesn't know how to play kids trivia.
15:17He just gets in the way and makes a mess.
15:19Oh, now, darling, darling.
15:23Kevin needs an older sister to teach him things.
15:26Just because he can't do something,
15:28that doesn't mean that you're going to exclude him.
15:32But you said Grandma can't be on TV with you
15:35because she doesn't know anything about home repairs.
15:37And she'll make a mess.
15:42Oh, well, yeah.
15:45That has nothing to do with what...
15:49So?
15:52So, you're not being fair either, are you?
15:56Answer the girl.
15:59Uh, well, no, I'm not being fair either.
16:05Okay, Kevin, you can play with us.
16:07Yippee!
16:09Well?
16:14All right, Lucille.
16:16You can be on television with me.
16:20Yay!
16:21Way to go, Grandma!
16:23Yeah, way to go, Kevin.
16:25Yeah, ha, ha!
16:26Boom!
16:37Here you go, Mom.
16:38Thank you, dear.
16:39Is that what you're going to fix on television today, Grandpa?
16:43Yes, indeed, Becky.
16:45That's the one.
16:46Grandpa gave your dad and me?
16:47That is a wedding gift.
16:48Ha, ha, ha!
16:50And they got married anyway.
16:55Grandma?
16:56Hmm?
16:56When you go on television today,
16:58will you say hello to Kevin and me?
17:01Yeah!
17:02Ha, I'd love to,
17:03but I think that's against the rules.
17:05Okay.
17:06I understand.
17:07I'll tell you what.
17:08Why don't we make up a secret signal
17:09that means hello?
17:11That way I can say hello to you and Kevin
17:12and nobody else in the whole world will know.
17:15I got it.
17:16Do this, Grandma.
17:27Kids.
17:30Well, now, that's really a good idea, Kevin,
17:32but maybe we should try something
17:33that's a little more secret.
17:35Why don't we do what Carol Burnett does
17:37when she says hello to her grandmother?
17:39She just does this.
17:41She pulls on her...
17:41Wow, that's awesome!
17:43Awesome.
17:46Okay, don't forget now.
17:47That's what I'll be doing for you.
17:48It's getting late.
17:49Shouldn't you guys be going?
17:51Yeah.
17:51Oh, yeah.
17:53Showtime.
17:56Don't forget to smile, Dad.
17:57Oh, no, no, I won't.
17:59I'll be looking bright and chipper.
18:01Hey, hey, hey, you're forgetting your tools and everything.
18:04I am Mr. Fix-It.
18:07You are the assistant.
18:14All right, here we go.
18:15In five, four, three, two.
18:20Okay, welcome back to Wake Up Pasadena.
18:24Now, today, our first guest is going to come out,
18:26and he's going to tell us how to repair things ourselves
18:28and save ourselves a bundle.
18:31You'll see.
18:32Welcome, please, Mr. Fix-It.
18:42Well, hi there, Mr. Fix-It.
18:45Hello, Fred.
18:46Fred.
18:46Fred?
18:53And, uh, is this the lovely Mrs. Fix-It?
18:56Actually, I'm his business partner, Lucy Barker.
18:59I'm the bee in M&B Hardware.
19:01That's M&B Hardware, 7207 Hill Street, Pasadena, California, 911...
19:07Well, we get the idea, Mrs. Barker.
19:09Zero six.
19:13Well, what are you going to show us today, Mr. Fix-It?
19:16With a few simple repairs,
19:18this lamp could easily be put into working order.
19:22I see.
19:23Now, what do we have to do to it?
19:25Oh, well, we have to replace the broken switch
19:29and glue this part back onto the lamp itself.
19:38All you need are a few simple tools.
19:41First, a screwdriver.
19:43Uh, the screwdriver.
19:47And then, of course, a new switch.
19:49The new switch.
19:54And, finally, the strongest adhesive on the market,
19:59a wacky glue.
20:00The wacky glue.
20:04This is all very interesting, but we're running a little late.
20:07Do you think we could move it along?
20:08Oh, yes.
20:08You go on to the next step, Mr. Fix-It.
20:10Your trusty assistant will fix...
20:12I'll fix the switch.
20:14All right, now we'll check the plug
20:17to see if there are any frayed wires.
20:21No frayed wires on that.
20:23This is fine.
20:23Now, it is time to repair the lamp itself.
20:28If my assistant would apply the wacky glue.
20:33Right.
20:33Yes.
20:35And for proper adhesion,
20:37it is important to put glue on both pieces.
20:41Right, right, right.
20:42Uh, but please, be conservative.
20:46Yes, sir.
20:46You may not believe this,
20:48but the most common mistake people make
20:50is to use too much glue.
20:53Yeah, that's right.
20:54And that is sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.
20:58Yes, sir.
21:00Now be sloppy.
21:00So, Mrs. Barker,
21:01why don't you, uh,
21:02tell us a little bit about yourself?
21:04Ah, boy, I...
21:07I have a lovely daughter,
21:09Margo,
21:09and a lovely son-in-law, Ted,
21:11and two lovely grandchildren,
21:13Becky and Kevin.
21:16Hi, Grandma!
21:17Hi, Mrs. B.
21:34Well, Mr. Fix-It,
21:35that, that looks pretty good,
21:37I must say.
21:37Oh, yes, indeed, yes.
21:39The instant wacky glue makes contact,
21:42it's impossible to pry it loose.
21:47Well, that looks as good as new.
21:49Which wasn't too good to begin with.
21:59What are you doing?
22:01I'm doing my fingers to my ear.
22:04Why?
22:08I put too much on,
22:09and I just wiped it off like that.
22:12Oh, all right.
22:13Well, let, let me help you.
22:16Ow!
22:17Let go!
22:18Can't let go.
22:20I'm stuck, too!
22:23Well, Mr. Fix-It,
22:24I want to thank you very much
22:26for being here today.
22:27This was a great pleasure.
22:28It really was.
22:29And you, too, Mrs. Barker.
22:30This was just wonderful.
22:32Okay?
22:33Okay?
22:36Well, what do you know?
22:38It looks like we're stuck.
22:40Yeah, I guess that's why
22:41they call it wacky glue, huh, friend?
22:43Oh, yeah, yeah.
22:45Here, here.
22:46Let me give you a hand.
22:47Here, let's get that.
22:50Uh-oh.
22:51I'll tell you what they do.
22:52Why don't we just move over
22:54to the couch,
22:54and maybe we can introduce
22:56our next segment.
22:57Good idea.
22:59No, no, no, no.
23:00Wait, wait, wait, wait a second.
23:02We didn't show them
23:03that the lamp works.
23:05No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
23:06This segment is over.
23:09Not yet, it isn't.
23:13Now, this is important.
23:15I want everyone to know
23:16that at M&B Hardware,
23:18the job gets done.
23:21Uh, plug in the lamp, Mr. Fix-It.
23:25Oh, here we are.
23:29Here we are.
23:45Now, uh,
23:47don't, don't, don't forget, folks.
23:49If this happens to you,
23:51if this happens to you,
23:52you can get new fuses
23:53at M&B Hardware,
23:547207 Hill Street,
23:56Pasadena, California,
23:5991106.
24:00Thank you, sir.
