Teal for a beautiful smile, the life of Riley for laughs. Teal, T-E-E-L, Teal, the amazing liquid dentifras. That's it. T-E-E-L. Amazing liquid dentifras brings you the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley. Remember friends for beautiful smiles at T.E.E.L.T.U. and right now it's the life of Riley.

There are 30 million people in the United States who own ajos. That means that there are 30 million people who can't imagine how Chester A. Riley is feeling right now as he stands on a street corner waiting for a bus to take him home from work.

Waiting with him is his friend Jim Gillis. Here it comes, there it goes. How do you like that, Gillis? That's the third bus passed us right by. One of them drivers think we are, a stop sign?
