TV's Influence on Babyboomers

HOW INFLUENTIAL WAS TV IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD?

Are there times when you catch yourself quoting from TV shows or commercials during everyday conversations?  Here's a partial list of catch phrases brought to us courtesy of television in the 50's, 60's and 70's.  See how many of these are a part of your normal vocabulary:
 
"Baby, you're the greatest."
 
"Just the facts, ma'am."
 
"Sorry 'bout that, Chief."
 
"You bet your sweet bippy."
 
"Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?"
 
"Try it, you'll like it!"
 
"Where's the beef?"
 
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing."
 
"Bang, zoom!"
 
"You're the ginchiest."
 
"Say goodnight, Gracie."
 
"And awaaaaaayyy we go!"
 
"It takes a licking and keeps on ticking."
 
"Melts in your mouth, not in your hand."
