My dad worked for Channel 8 back in the day and voiced that Allen’s TV and Appliance commercial! Thank you for sharing this!

[@HalsPals]

I loved Uncle Zeb. Even got his autograph once at the Fairgrounds. :)

[@frankbolander2239]

I LIVE IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA NOW BUT GREW UP IN BROKEN ARROW! I REMEMBER ALL THESE COMMERCIALS, ESPECIALLY THE ARKANSAS VALLEY STATE BANK ONE!....MY GRANDPA AND PARENTS HAD ACCOUNTS THERE FOR MANY YEARS!...THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!

[@RobertKeilOK]

Interesting to see Walmart ads before it went nationwide

[@GeneSavage]

What a flashback! I was between about 8 and 13 when these aired, so I remember so many of them. Thanks for sharing these!

[@thewholeeventhorizon]

That parade of homes in Cedar Springs. We moved in there in 1983!!!

[@impalaman9707]

Mazzios had the most mouthwatering pizza adverts of all

[@GaryCalvert36]

Too bad their pizzas look better than they taste. It's been that way my whole life.

[@impalaman9707]

@@GaryCalvert36 Yes, but the "carry out/delivery" culture has cheapened the pizza experience for me. I miss the old days when going out for pizza was an event. You could go to a Mazzios or a Pizza Hut, smell the aroma of hot pizza baking, pick a song on the jukebox, get a nice salad while your pizza is being made ready, and then having a hot fresh pizza delivered right to your table!

[@GaryCalvert36]

You're not kidding! I miss that, too.

“I’ll be lookin for ya!” - Uncle Zeb

[@soylentteal]

[@OKIEBUD]

We loved Walmart back in the day wagoner had a good one..

[@bruceh4180]

That paymate system was interesting.

[@BenBen-kh1dm]

Remember them mazzios cups😅

[@Kate-yv2or]

John F. Lawhon! Was hoping for one of those commercials. Or as we Mazeppa fans remember him, Don F. Longjohn.

[@mattdaugherty7865]

09:58 Bob Carpenter, voice of the Nationals! ⚾️

[@m.stimson3829]

😮wow! A walk down memory lane (it's too bad I don't know 😕 all these ads)but it's good see what they in the past (rather if those places are still in business or not), sometimes I wish I could see an ad from the past of a place nearby me (even though I live closer to Claremore which is a problem)anyway that's cool 😎.

[@petercrabtree8471]

I don't remember Sipes being at 71st & Lewis.

[@Tulsa_Films]

Its a commercial for Sipes, and they use Woodland Hills Mall as a backdrop shot for their commercial. Sipes never indicated they located at 71st & Memorial

[@JordanSmith-ec8dx]

7826 S Lewis Ave Was Sipes until 1986 and became a Buds until 1992. It is now where the Hilton by the Walmart near ORU is.

[@chrissmith7669]

Wasted many hours at woodland as a teenager

Inflation is back and better than ever in 2024

[@chrissmith7669]

But no worries, corporate profits are at record highs. It’ll be ok

[@kfb141]

Jack, GREAT VIDEO!! Who is the actor in the "Today's Homes" mobile homes commercial? It looks like a former News 8 sportscaster.

[@Tulsa_Films]

Bob Carpenter who was with KTUL

[@kfb141]

@@Tulsa_Films that's right! Thank you! He sure looks different now. You on the other hand have not aged one bit!! 😁

[@barbaracabello587]

Does anyone remember the "Oklahoma's Green Country" tourism campaign commercials (produced by the Oklahoma Tourism Commission, I think) made during the late 60's -early 70's???

[@Tulsa_Films]

Yes I do
