I was the Director for KOFY/KTZO until 1989. I shot and directed most of these. Thanks for the GREAT memories!

[@seymoreskinner3]

Robert McWilliams that’s awesome!

[@twillbanks]

I loved TV20 growing up. Thank you so much for the great work you did back in the day. Sure miss what the Bay Area used to be back then.

[@whtxombi4955]

WOW! Thanks for all the great memories.

[@matvei15]

Very cool!

[@rockinsteady406]

Thank you. You were inadvertently part of my childhood.

[@thesoultransferprotocol721]

God i miss the 70s and 80s in the Bay Area. Back when time made sense, values, strength, growth were an actuality. People cared for each other. NO matter who or what you were. I was so jazzed to hear the Julio Iglasias advert. I remember my mom dragged me to it on my Birthday. Next weekend I saw Van Halen at the Cow Palace 1984 Tour. What a time to be a alive!!!

1:35 Pete Ellis Dodge 5:42 Marine World Africa USA

[@QwikVidz]

Came here for the South Bay Health Center commercial. Its been 40 years!

[@scotthutch3682]

I just picked up a tv20 vintage 80s bumper sticker (been collecting Bay Area stickers) never knew as a kid in the 80s that this stuff would have such an impact - ❤

[@themikejustice]

July 1984 was the summer between 3rd and 4th grade, and I totally remember that car commercial at 5:14 with all the gas station signage because I was obsessed with logos at that time. Blast from the past. Thank you.

[@deancoronado4898]

Same for me (3rd to 4th.) July 1984 was all about Transformers for me!

[@jcp012000]

The DIAMOND CENTER!!!!! God I remember this! This brings back the memories!

[@jonnyc4898]

Great times ! I still have one of the bumper stickers ,I put it on my car with a magnet on special occasions ,don't want to ruin it . Thanks for this video.

[@smilinmoo]

I’m having flashbacks watching these! We lived in the Bay area from 1983-1986. I was a young stay-at-home mother with a one year old and a kindergartner at the time these were airing, so I remember them well-especially Ed Barbar (“bye kids!”), the South Bay Dentist one with Dorothy and the talking tooth (“but dentists are so expensive!”) and the adorable TV20 dogs. My son loved those dogs. Thanks for the memories!

[@connormacleod9900]

I miss the 1980s I was a kid and a teenager in the 1980s I was 10 years old in 1984 I love the 1980s great decade great movies gray clothes great music during the summer months when the street light came on that means you have to go Home back then there is no iPhones iPads smartphones everything was old school you'd actually have to write a letter two somebody you have chance to talk to somebody in person

[@judacia]

I remember the Wizard Of Oz themed dental commercial!

[@rudyiraheta80]

that pete ellis dodge man knows that kofy 19 is always independent kbhk 44 is my network

[@jnyc8457]

Does anyone remember the attempted subliminal messaging on KOFY around 1987?

[@Crystal2pistolz]

What was is about??? I hope you still have this account and reply!

[@jazzbassoonpaul]

Tony Kilbert! TV 20! what memories. TV used to shut off at 2AM with sometimes wonderfully beautiful sign-off segments featuring music by composers like Gabriel Faure. It's been a long time since TV shut off for the night.

[@jmartine]

Wow, I had totally forgotten about most of these! Especially the "Hi Kids" / "Bye Kids" guy from Furniture USA

[@cristobalgutierrez1125]

I surprisingly remember some of these commercials. Thanks for the memories!

[@8-bitraw625]

This video is my conception.thank you so, so much. I am eternally thankful for you.

[@Charliecomet82]

Ed Barbara before he had to take it on the lam.

[@inactivejonadenz-hamilton2117]

Broadcast deregulation...SIGH.

[@Peppyroni247]

7:28 is that Andrea Mitchell from msnbc? I thought she was always a white woman!

[@RMacGregor]

Oh my goodness - these give me straight nostalgia

[@josephinetracy1485]

HOO-lee-cow.. i'm a kid again!

[@deancoronado4898]

In 1984, I think it was still KTZO and still had the dogs looking at the TV.

[@xennial80sxberner]

It was, I just put kofy in the title to give it more recognition/views. I mean nowadays you'd have to be at least 45 to remember KTZO even as a little kid (7 in 85)

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

I remember when it was KEMO back in the mid-60s, and introduced cartoons like Speed Racer to the Bay Area.

[@adrianlyord5300]

I didn't know Ron Jeremy sold diamonds at The Diamond Center Lol.

[@xennial80sxberner]

Lmfao I'll never think of these retro Paul commercials the same way again

[@harperstacey9604]

@@xennial80sxberner what ever happened to James gabbert, the host of TV 20? From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@juniorog4080]

@13:08 Thats Ron Jeremy

[@Crystal2pistolz]

Nooo! That was the diamond center guy!! He was hilarious!

[@FeatnikSF]

What a treat to see my dear friend Tony Kilbert (TK!) lookin' fine and in his prime! We met eight years before this video footage was taken, when he was a DJ on KSAN. We talk on the phone once in a while. His voice is still dreamy and just thinking about him puts a smile on my face. Thank you for posting this!

[@RobertMcWilliamsProductions]

Please tell him Rob says hello!

[@hankrosenfeld8433]

Tell him Hank from KSAN GNUS says hello and TK will be in a new book about KSAN. "THE JIVE 95!"

[@FeatnikSF]

@@hankrosenfeld8433 Did you know Don Potoczak? I moved to SF with Don when he (and Phil Charles and Sean Coman Donohue) was hired at KSAN in 1974.

[@brentmann2988]

3:12 Karl Weber for Beck's Beer. From Beck's to Boar's Head to Alka-Seltzer to Castrol GTX and dozens more... the unmistakable voice of Karl Weber.

[@nlee4566]

Thx alot!!!! I been waiting for some more KOFY commercials from this era! U don't know how happy this made me lol

[@xennial80sxberner]

Appreciate it man, thank you. Going through all my grandpa's tapes and I was pleasantly surprised to find some more. Think I've hit pretty close to the end but still some treasures I missed the previous times

[@RobertMcWilliamsProductions]

I have boxes full of master tapes in my shop. Problem is finding machines to play them.

[@chelmrtz]

(Dog not included)

[@bladerunner752]

I remember watching Bizzare on this channel with super Dave. Good times.

[@SurfNetSal75]

Gold Caps, and later Hot Tops - I remember collecting those as a kid. Ed Barbara - the "clean" commercial, lol And we gotta bring that bumper sticker back!!

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

Sal M I remember seeing a VW Bug covered in those stickers hoping to win the $10,000.

[@joeycalendar3122]
