I love watching these old ads, it brings back good memories for me. I remember a simpler time. Love from Marysville California

[@AtlantaFlamesHockeyClub]

I love Arby's.

[@carlosfonseca5754]

I like those nbc made for tv movies

[@BradensArchive]

what video format were these recorded on?

[@jeffbowen2608]

NBC was so bad at this point in time they very nearly went bankrupt. It wasn’t till four years later in 1983 when Mr. T and “The A-Team” began to revive the fortunes of the network.

Neil armstrong looks like a cyborg

[@jenniferseghers9355]

The Best Place to Be looks good! Also nice to see Forrest Compton in the Beneficial ad

[@JohnSmith-ef2rn]

Neil Armstrong was a hell of a pilot and astronaut.

A little less about products this time around, but a whole lot of interesting looking programs and movies!

Ready for the big 100. Great fun as always and how different commercials were between the 70s, the 80s and the 90s.

[@feather031]

That's football great Larry Csonka at the end of the Arby's spot.

[@MaryS2022]

Great video as usual. I am looking forward to volume 100 of 70s commercials. :)

[@iscariot666]

Looking forward to the volume 100 super special

[@HonkyTonkBuffalo]

Was Aspen a regional product?

[@MyMelodyOfTheHeart]

Alpha Beta- The woman who’s being interviewed in this commercial’s hairstyle looks like she’s wearing a piece of carpeting on her head.
