It really is amazing to look back and see just how many commercials and cartoons Casey Kasem participated in. He truly was the voice for anyone who grew up in our era.

You can hear him again on the radio if one of your stations carries "Classic American Top 40"! These are digitally remastered rebroadcasts of old programs. In my area, the 70's version airs on Saturday mornings, and the 80's version on Sunday mornings.

Little People were the best! I loved playing with those and they were a good toy for an only child with a wild imagination like me.

This is just what I was looking for, this will be my new binge watching hangover cure and I’ll get through all these commercials on this entire channel no matter how long it takes me😁🇦🇺👍🏻

Mrs. Butterworth- Kid: "Mrs. Butterworth, how come you taste so good?" Mrs. Butterworth: "I wouldn't know, hon. I've never tasted myself before." Playmobil- The beginning of that commercial looks like the beginning of a horror movie.

I was 9yrs old when these Commercials came out..Good-O-Memories as a kid!

[@ellemjay]

Me too. I sometimes joke that 1978 was the happiest year of my life. No responsibilities and none of the interpersonal complications that come up when you're a teenager 🙂

[@horrorfanrikki8038]

@@ellemjay I totally agree with you on that one too...lol!!

[@diceman74]

I love these 70s volumes a lot. They are a part of pop culture that seem almost lost like a lot of pre VHS era media. I didn't realize VHS were around in the 70s until these collections.

[@ellemjay]

I still get the "Sealy Posturepedic Morning" jingle stuck in my head now and then.

[@mayamellissa]

I wanna go to Red Lobster. I miss it!

0:00--I'm not certain, but the toy Ferris wheel in the background sure resembles the Fisher-Price musical Ferris wheel that I had when I was a kid. It played "In The Good Old Summertime." 2:29--I remember that Aquafresh toothpaste only had 2 stripes when it first came out. The red stripe was added later. 3:39--Speaking of oral hygiene, what ever happened to Signal mouthwash? 4:09--I remember that Mrs. Butterworth's syrup actually contained a small amount of real butter back then. Not sure if it still does. 5:10--Some great classic comedies! All of them are either currently rerunning, or have been rerun on-and-off, on either Antenna TV or Me TV. 7:58--Just because of the title, back then I thought "Eight Is Enough" was a spinoff of, or somehow connected to, "Three's Company." It was only years later that I found out that they are 2 completely separate and unrelated programs. 8:17--I seem to recall that Jeno's and Totino's were actually competing brands back then. As indicated in the video description, the maker of Totino's purchased Jeno's and eventually phased out the Jeno's brand. The pizza in this commercial looks much better than the "Totino's Party Pizza" available nowadays.

I've been subscribed to your channel for a long time and have loved it, and now I find out you're an Evil Dead/ Ash Williams fan too? I am now an even bigger fan.

[@puppsmcgee74]

I was just about to say that the guy in the dog food ad was in The Shawshank Redemption but I see you beat me to it in the description. Haha

[@wmbrown6]

The V/O heard around 5:37 sounds like Ed Williams.

[@Rucale_RC3432]

You post such a amazing amount of content that when I first found this channel I thought this was AI generated

[@80sCommercialVault]

Gee...thanks. 001001100 Beep boop

[@mrtee83]

I think 70s commercials from the Dallas-Fort Worth stations are hard to find. Only a few I've seen on here.

[@DanZero77]

Yeah I gotta agree with the comments about that first ad - those are some creepy toys and I don't see how different parts make them any better than the "toys you bought that only lasted a couple hours!"

[@mellissaeddinger531]

Mr. Coffee unit on sale for $39.99 would cost $132.61 in today’s dollars, according to a federal government inflation calculator.

[@Mike-lh4wn]

Can I still get in on that 5-1/4% savings interest rate at 3:15?

[@TTrigg]

Playmobil Little People-was almost expecting that doll at 0:12 to leap at the camera screaming Red Lobster-"SUPER shrimp!!" nowadays theyre not so much :( Welcome Back, Kotter-Stephen Shortridge would later be Travolta's replacement in the Sweathogs Signal-how much onions did she eat..? Happy Days-"ride the bull" doesnt have the same ring to it as jump the shark Vegas-Pilot episode was good

[@Partinaire]

Damn i aint know Mr. Coffee been around since the 70s

[@user-ke8vk8bo4j]

9:05 sexiest microphone I've ever seen

[@rain2472]

3:43 Well Damn

[@daintybeigli]

Was toothpaste that didn’t freshen bresh ever a thing???? What on earth was in the toothpaste back then? I feel like I’m missing some context 🤔
