70's Commercials Vol. 89

These commercials aired on KTLA on November 18th, 1979
1. KTLA Station ID
2. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Intro (The music here is "Manhattan Skyline" by David Shire from the soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever": • Manhattan Skyline )
3. "Exit The Dragon, Enter The Tiger" Intro. (The movie here is an example of the "Bruceploitation" genre of Kung Fu movies produced in Hong Kong following the death of Bruce Lee: en.wikipedia.o.... The movie starred Bruce Li, a Taiwanese lookalike, and plays off of the title of Bruce Lee's final and most successful film: "Enter The Dragon")
4. C&H Cane Sugar
5. TWA
6. Numero Uno Italian Restaurants
7. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Commercial Bumper
8. BSR System X-10
9. Stouffer's Crepes
10. Target Buick Dealer
11. Frigidaire
12. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Commercial Bumper
13. Hershey's Chocolate Chips (Sorry Hershey, I can't imagine baking with anything other than Toll House)
14. Toyota Corrola Tercel
15. Alberto VO5
16. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Commercial Bumper
17. Bank Of America (I love the animation here)
18. Delta (The actress here is Anne Haney. She is probably best known for her later roles as the social worker in "Mrs. Doubtfire" and the secretary in "Liar Liar")
19. Albertsons (Geez, were Albertsons employees paid on commission or something?)
20. Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds
21. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Commercial Bumper
22. Promo for "C.C. & Company" (Stick to football, Joe)
23. Promo for "Popeye's Official 50th Birthday Party" (Would love to see this)
24. Bonjour Action Jeans
25. KTLA Station ID
26. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Commercial Bumpers
27. Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
28. Love's (The voiceover here is done by actor Rex Allen. Though he started out as a cowboy star/crooner, he did a lot of voiceover work later in his career. Most people will probably recognize his voice as the narrator of Hanna Barbera's cartoon version of "Charlotte's Web" but he also did a number of voiceovers for Disney nature films and Disney theme park attractions like "The Carousel Of Progress": • Carousel of Progress: ... )
29. Timbuktu! (This originally premiered on Broadway in 1978 with Eartha Kitt starring and toured for over a year with the original cast)
30. Electronic Mastermind
31. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Commercial Bumper
32. Sani Flush (The sadistic smile and evil look in her eyes indicate that this lady eventually poisoned her husband...probably with Sani Flush)
33. American Airlines
34. The Gap (I think that the guy at 13:53 is possibly actor Ted McGinley. This was when he was still a model and just before he started appearing on "Happy Days" in 1980)
35. Nikon EM
36. Annie (I believe this was a touring version featuring the original Broadway cast as well)
37. L'eggs Regular (With Juliet Prowse)
38. Duracell Batteries
39. Milk (Milk is filmed in front of a live studio audience)
40. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Commercial Bumper
41. MJB Flake Ground Coffee
42. Sunmaid Raisins
43. Target Buick Dealer
44. PSA Airlines (So many competing airline commercials)
45. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Commercial Bumper
46. Promo for "Hollywood Christmas Parade" (Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood as Grand Marshals...a shame their story didn't end up happily ever after)
47. "Movie For A Sunday Evening" Commercial Bumper
48. Nature's Family Skin Care Products (This one looks like it was originally from the very early 70's or possibly late 60's even!)
49. KMPC Los Angeles (With Gary Owens at the end)
50. Chutes Away!!!!! (With Dick Van Dyke)
51. KTLA Station ID
52. Fresh Start
53. Tatung (A Taiwanese electronics company. I can't say I've ever seen an advertisement for their products before. This might have been when they were trying to get a foothold here. Also featuring the voice of Gary Owens)
54. Pampers (The elaborate baby butt wetness test probably made them extremely late for that puppet show)
55. Love's (I seriously can't hear his voice without thinking of "Charlotte's Web")
56. Biz Bleach
57. Crest (The main mom here is played by Carol Potter who played the main mom on "Beverly Hills, 90210". The random flashbacks while he's brushing his teeth at 23:55 are honestly pretty weird)
58. Zest (So many tests in this volume)
59. Swanson Main Course Lasagna
60. Orange County Fall Fair
61. KTLA Station ID
