The Home Economics Story
A 25 minute "story" (read: ad) for the Iowa State home economics program. Dates from 1951, can be found in the Prelinger Archive. Prime fodder for Bridget & Mary Jo. The story talks about Kay's college experience, going through year by year, and showing clips of the classes from the perspective of 4 girls total. Everything a 1950's girl needs to know is covered from majors (everything from home economics to home economics), to life goals (using your degree to ultimately get married and raise children). Don't forget the assorted fun along the way (Home coming! Formals! Yay!)!
I watch it periodically as it is. I can't imagine how good it would be riffed.

I didn't realize they'd already done this one! Thanks for the heads up!

They did this on Mystery Science Theater 3000. They *could* do it again, but just thought I'd mention it if you didn't know.

This sounds familiar to me, making me wonder if this had been done on MST3K, but I agree Katrina, Mary Jo and Bridget would have a field day with this one, because I love the riffs they've been doing so far.
