I just wish I still kept all of the toys I had back then... They don't make them like they used too, and I wish my kids could experience some of the good toys I had. Now they make the cheapest toys and merchandise ever.. Everything is made cheap now... Houses, cars, clothes, all kind of things. I went to buy bandaids yesterday for my baby, and I was thinking about the type of packaging bandaids used to come in compared to now. They used to come in a tin can where you can open the lid and close it back. Now it's just made out of paper. It was necessary to make some things cheaper, but things like houses, cars, clothes, etc., should still be made using the better quality materials. Now, it's like neighborhoods are completely done within 2 wks... Then the cost for everything has skyrocketed..

Not every prospective employer likes it but enough do that I've been blessed enough to have made a living with it. I'm glad you got to meet June Lockhart. I know it will be an experience that you'll gladly remember for the rest of your life as will I.

@@johnnie2638 Lost in Space is still my favorite show of all times. I was born in 1969 so I grew up with it in re-runs. The show was responsible for my career choices in life. I founded a robotics company years back and had it for over a decade. In my office I had a life size replica of the Lost in Space robot (a life’s dream come true). I still watch the show several times a week. Do you have any examples of your voice work? Maybe on KZbin? Would really like to hear it!

I really like the Bell Telephone long distance commercial. The tone of the voices and the video of these commercials really takes me back to a simpler and carefree time. No social media or cell phones. I'd go back in a heart beat.

[@jankypop-a-matic58]

The whole Vega$ TV series is actually on KZbin now. I just binge watched it! : )

[@shrewd1245]

I LOVED that show Vegas!!!! I have the series on DVD. Such a simpler time back then. Tell someone back then that in a little more than 25 years or so that we would have phones that allowed one to send a picture or video of themselves instantaneously, order food, clothing, or book yourself on a flight and reserve a hotel room, all without talking to anyone, would probably have gotten you a one way ticket to the psych ward. And as cheesy as it all looks, I can't get enough of it!!!! I feel sorry for the youth of today and tomorrow, never knowing or experiencing the innocence we were able to enjoy.

December 1978, this was the month that John Wayne Gacy got busted for serial killing.

[@radamik]

The month before was the Jonestown massacre, the newspapers virtually every day had a photo of some celebrity at Studio 54, I had to go to a wedding in October and I bought one of the new skinny ties that had just come out. I helped a friend pick out a waterbed for his new apartment. And my Mom still worked at a local hospital as a switchboard operator.

Oh my heart these brought so many memories flooding in. My mum died in a car accident in 1977 and I was already a weird kid with few friends. TV was my best friend…a latchkey kid early on. Nobody was around to tell me too much tv. Must have appeared as a tragic kid in retrospect.

[@merrybluegirl8930]

I'm sorry to hear about your mom when you were so young. My mom was very sick when I was growing up so I spent a lot of time by myself and TV was definitely my best friend! All these commercials are so familiar to me. They bring back very special memories. Just the voice in certain ones are so soothing. Hickory Farms. The voice talking about Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley. 💙💚

There’s something very different about the people in the commercials of long ago compared to modern ones. I don’t know why but they look so much better and refreshing.

[@byronrios4005]

Thank for the memories takes me way back..

[@bluesky4385]

There is something comforting watching these commercials. I imagine its because its a simpler time. Although 1978 was a year I never forget. My apt barely missed being destroyed when PSA flight 182, crashed into my San DIego Neighborhood killing 144 people. If I had been outside walking in the neighborhood I would have been killed. When I was able to go to my apt I decided I could no longer live in the North Park area of San Diego. I really didn't have the money to move , but I managed to get another apt elsewhere away from the flight path.

[@dleyba3199]

wow! good thing you werent in the path of destruction.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Hard to believe "Money for Nothing'" and "Purple Rain" and "One Night in Bangkok" were a mere seven years in the future. Hard to believe that so many shows today are simply _The Gong Show._
