@bearwarner49945 жыл бұрын
In the 90's, people started to feel that kids playing outside were troublesome. They were either going to be perpetrators of crimes like vandalism, theft, bullying, and noise violations; or they were going to be victims of injury, kidnapping, molestation, or introduced to drugs and poisons. Pressure was put on parents to always have kids at an after-school program, babysat, or locked away in the house with video tapes, cable tv, Nintendo, and Pizza Bagel Bites. If your kid was seen skating on the sidewalk next to their house with no parents or adults around, that was when people began to claim that it was neglectful, or these kids were probably up to no good, etc. Media followed suit with horror stories of kids victimized in one way or another, and many places enacted strict laws that didn't allow kids to exist in places without adults if they were below the age of 14. I even lived in a place around 2006 that threatened to evict parents if their 16-year-old kids were caught again, crossing the street to get candy and sodas from the convenience stores. No lie. This is why the state of Utah recently had to enact a law that allows kids to be "free-roam," without it being a crime, so that kids can return to parks and doing kid things.

At 21:04, I remember back in the day when getting a stereo system was a major deal. My parents bought me a system like the one in this video for a birthday gift! I got to pick it out at the showroom. The sales associate was so happy with the purchase, he let me choose a free casette tape to play in my new stereo! It was a right of passage in those days...I still have that stereo today, with giant speakers and turntable. It all still works. It was all "made in America" and the quality shows.

Even the stereo system I was given as a Christmas gift in 1990 lasted me a good long while. The only thing that stopped it from being usable is that the speaker cords frayed only about ten years ago, otherwise the mechanical parts still work. The VCR my parents bought in 1985 also works even today.

My brother had the 6 million dollar man figure and rocket/operation table and the Evel Knievel motorcycle. That motorcycle never did anything like in the commercial. It would go out about 3 feet and fall over. These commercials are a great reminder of a better time. People were nicer and more respectful of others. Today so many people are just plain vulgar, obnoxious and self centered. It is reflected in the ads and movies/TV of today- everyone is a badass.

Every decade has it's good and bad. '70s bad: the economy spiralled downhill from 1973 until about 1982. Cars were generally slow, quickly rusted out, and driveability suffered from early emission controls. We gave up on winning the war in Vietnam AND didn't generally honor our returning servicemen (truly shameful, that last part). Two gas shortages: 1973 and summer of '79. Gas prices tripled. "Stagflation": the economy is stagnant, but there's still double digit inflation. Watergate, then two ineffective Presidents, Ford and Carter. The Cold War. '70s good: everybody seemed less hung up about everything. Easy-listening music, disco, and southern rock music. The Pontiac Trans-AM. Mazda Wankels (when the engine was still right). The BiCentenial (1976) celebrations. Streaking. The summer blockbuster (started with "Jaws"). Short shorts on everybody. No terrorism or mass shootings in the USA. Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. See? It all depends how you look at it.

That's Robin Williams in the Illinois Bell spot, with William Schallert providing the voiceover. Also, that's John Irwin providing the voiceover for Green Giant with Len Dresslar doing the ho,ho,ho. The Pop-Tarts ad has Schallert voicing perhaps his greatest character in Milton the Toaster. Alexander Scourby was the voice of Chevrolet during the 1970s. Edward Andrews is the father in the DieHard Car Battery ad.

Some observations on the products in the commercials: * The Pizza Hut Super Supreme Pizza WAS (definitely not IS) the best pizza restaurant pizza. It was the go-to place for my fiance and me. (Where I grew up there were no New York pizzas which I grant you are darn good.) * My mother would NEVER purchase any dog food including Gravy Train. Our dogs ate stewed chicken and table scraps. Although I constantly asked why, she never would explain. After watching an episode of Mad Man about the heir to a dog food manufacturing plant in the 60's, I think the answer was that my mom thought it was made from 🐎. * Green Giant Le Seuer Peas Combinations were fantastic. I can't find them anywhere anymore and I miss them greatly. * Many young ladies had a bottle of Charlie, but after I used it once, it became a decoration that showed I was a (sort of) member of the modern women's generation. * I will still say, "It's a miracle!". Actually, XEROX machines really are one of the greatest inventions ever. * The Coke Perfect Harmony ad is probably the best ad ever. (With the Coke Santa ads and the polar bear campaign coming in second and third.) Watching it here tonight brought me back to the days when I did have hope that we all could just get along if we tried. Well, it's 43 years later and how's that going? Hmm.... Another video composed with imagination and hard work, Fred!
