Looks like "Footsy", the toy that young girls play with by swinging the hoop with one foot while jumping over the bell shaped thing with the other foot.

Just a guess. COBOL?

I feel so young, I remember none of this junk, except Ron Jeremy.

Growing up in the 80s, it was all about remembering the 60s.

The first guy on the left is Toronto's Gordie Tapp, a non-singing guy who established himself in TV C&W on CBC's Holiday Ranch, and the later Tommy Hunter Show before being recruited for HeeHaw.

Just hauled one of these from the house with the help of a couple friends. It weighed over 150 lbs and the stairs were a killer.
Replacement was a 40" smart TV 1080 resolution, internet connectivity ... weight ~25 lbs.
