Hardbopjazz Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 I remember his show in the 70s. He was telling everyone to get in shape before anyone else did. RIP Jack. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 He was an original and way ahead of his time. Quote
Free For All Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 I remember his show in the 70s. I remember it from the 60s! clip Quote
mjzee Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 I met him once in the '80's. Nice guy. RIP. Quote
Free For All Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 He always talked about the importance of juicing, of which I have long been a firm believer. Turns out he didn't mean alcohol. Quote
JSngry Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 I remember his show in the 70s. I remember it from the 60s! clip I remember him from the 50s. Quote

GA Russell Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) My mom would watch him when I was a pre-schooler in the 50s. I remember once she sent away for one of his exercise gadgets, which was a rubber strap that attached to a doorknob. RIP! PS - The LA Times obit mentions the Glamour Stretcher, and I think that was what my mom got! Edited January 24, 2011 by GA Russell Quote

Bill Nelson Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 See what all that excercise and clean living gets you? The guy didn't even make it to 97. Today I'm dumping my Glamour Stretcher! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 I don't know when I first saw him (had to be prior to 1963 as it was before we moved to Hawaii from Bellingham, Washington), but I know he and Captain Kangaroo are my earliest TV memories. He seemed kind of old then... Quote
Bill Nelson Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Before tossing it, there's one thing I can do with my Glamour Stretcher -- wrap it around the neck of the next guy who says I've gained weight and throttle him. Quote

BruceH Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I don't know when I first saw him (had to be prior to 1963 as it was before we moved to Hawaii from Bellingham, Washington), but I know he and Captain Kangaroo are my earliest TV memories. He seemed kind of old then... Yes, I remember seeing him in the 60's and him seeming kind of middle-aged (but of course a 27-year-old might seem middle-aged to a 4-year-old) and another thing is his show seemed like a relic of the 50's. Maybe it was repeats from the 50's that I was seeing. I had no idea, though, that he was born and raised in San Francisco. Quote
mikelz777 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) He would have been 36 or 37 when his show started in 1951. Edited January 25, 2011 by mikelz777 Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Wow. So he really was middle aged by the time I saw him! Quote
papsrus Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Saw him interviewed just within the past few months on one of the daytime ESPN shows and he was still sharp as a tack, cracking jokes. Very much on top of it mentally. I recall his shows from the 60s as well. He was pretty hard core about diet. RIP Quote

GA Russell Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 The editorial cartoon of this morning's paper had Jack Lalanne in heaven having the angels do pushups! Quote
mikelz777 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 "When a 21-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger first came to America in 1968, he witnessed 54-year-old Jack LaLanne down on Venice Beach in California doing thousands of push-ups and chin-ups. A challenge was declared — and Arnold, the youngest Mr. Universe at the time, went on to lose. Badly. "I beat him in chin-ups and push-ups," LaLanne says. "He [schwarzenegger] said, 'That Jack LaLanne's an animal! I was sore for four days. I couldn't lift my arms!' " Quote
