Showing my age here..... Track number 32 "L.S.M.F.T." on the new "The Trouble With Angels" Cd : How many people knew it is the acronym for "Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco" without having to look it up on the internet?
I'm old enough to remember. Do you remember the shaply dancing legs of girls in the Old Gold cigarette packs ? It was the sponsor of a show with Dennis James.
Commercials from the mid '50's were a little bit before I started watching television. My earliest memories of TV was reruns of the "Mickey Mouse Club in 1959.

It may have been before your time, but you certainly knew what I was referring to ?
I also am old enough to remember the old Lucky Strikes commercials. Everybody smoked on TV - private eyes, gangsters, gun molls, even Mike Wallace smoked one ciggie after another while interviewing politicians, entertainment figures and what-have-you on his pre-60 Minutes gigs. Ah, dem wuz da days! (cough cough)

Those are some smokin legs.
The only better legs I had a month ago were at Tracy's King Crab Shack in Juneau, Alaska. Yum,Yum ! Those in the Old Gold ad aren't that bad either.

At the risk of being somewhat indelicate: In the 50's/ 60s/70s There was a hugely popular African-American rock group that toured the East coast playing live dates at colleges, bars and fraternity parties. The group was called Doug Clark and His (the) Hot Nuts. As rock musicians they were quite good and popular, albeit that many of their songs were bawdy and lewd. They issued records on the "Gross" label, and one of their popular songs, "Two Old Maids", had lyrics including "L.S.M.F.T." --which in their version became "Let's Stop-My Finger's Tired"...Their music didn't get much air play
Not only do I remember L.S.M.F.T. and know what it stands for, I remember it not from TV, but from radio, back in the mid-1940s.
I seem to recall that the Jack Benny radio show was sponsored by Lucky Strike (and the American Tobacco Company) for awhile.
I very clearly remember the Old Gold dancing girls from early TV, and always wondered how they were able to dance in such precision with a box surrounding them and not being able to see exactly where they were on stage or in relation to the other dancers.
Over the years it's also been reported that one of the Old Gold dancers in the early days was Mary Tyler Moore, who was very young, energetic, and had a lot of spunk then!

Not to mention, great legs! Those legs were also featured (so I've read) on the RICHARD DIAMOND show, where they appeared in the intro from mid-thigh down only, attached presumably to the sexy secretary that Richard Diamond, Private Eye, would of course be expected to have.
I'm not quite old enough to remember this on my own, but I do recognize the acronym so I must have seen it when a wee lad. The only commercials I can still remember for cigarettes were all those Marlboro ads stinking up Elmer Bernstein's Magnificent theme, and the one below, which felt a lot like it was directed to me. The guy looks just like my dad, and he did smoke Lucky Strikes, which looks like the model for the blocked-out design in the pack he pulls out.
Who here is old enough to remember what happened to "Lucky Strike green"?
“…went to war” – the green ink of the original Luckies package contained copper which was needed in the war effort – also the reason for the wartime zinc penny.
