America looked like a whole different country back then - fresher, cleaner, more optimistic. Watch the commercials now and notice the stark contrast. Things have definitely deteriorated.

[@ChildovGhad]

Optimistic? We all expected global thermonuclear war at any moment. Fresher, cleaner? Los Angeles was just starting to clean up their Shanghai level smog, and acid rain was still in the daily news. In fact, I remember on SNL around this time, on their "news" segment, they were singing parody headlines, and one was "Terrain in Maine is stained by acid rain".

[@jamessteele7102]

@@ChildovGhad The “people” seemed fresher. And acid rain was BS propaganda. And yes, the air was dirtier in the cities but have you noticed all the air pollution the planes are putting up in the skies lately? Look up and on many days you’ll see rows of pollution pumped out by planes. They look like thin lines and they expand over 10-20 minutes. Those aren’t not mere contrails or water vapor trails. They linger and create a cloud cover if you have the patience to watch them for a while. That air pollution must be falling down on us. What goes up must come down. Remember that when you breathe in the “clean” air.

50:17 the voice of Lester Rawlins for Atari. You'll also know his voice from Dunkin' Donuts ads. 54:05 Peter Thomas on the voice-over for American Express. An all-time great VO announcer. 1:16:01 the unmistakable voice of Karl Weber for Alka-Seltzer. You'll recognize his voice from spots for Castrol GTX motor oil and Boar's Head deli meats.

[@jpolar394]

The best part of all these commercials are that you don't hear the phrase DOT COM every few seconds like the crap that's on the tv and radio today. Also, the actors who are in these commercials don't act like idiots compaired to the actors who are in today's commercials.

The way these commercials were made makes me want to go buy things they advertise now. Companies lost their way when they quit doing jingles. I only associate with products now from the brand recognition jingles I watched on TV 35-40 years ago. Today's commercials suck and I fast forward thru all of them, yet I'm here watching these on purpose from 40 years ago. Product companies and Ad agencies just don't get it and are only screwing themselves with what they call advertising now days.

on the Halloween first time on network television I remember it, and also NBC actually made John Carpenter add two extra scene to the film, basically NBC said it was not long enough, which Carpenter thought it was strange, but, he went ahead and added the two scenes....I was just a small kid in grade school the night it premiered

[@yvettemyers7472]

That’s because NBC edited so much of the movie for television, that it greatly shortened the movie

Was there really much to edit out? A book shot, maybe? I don't recall any gore.

[@farnorthwoods5036]

More so though, people were happy and life was simple. The world made sense. The tv had wholesome family content that you watched in the evenings with your whole family, sometimes even with tv trays or popcorn and board games! Mom was home to help you and the house was clean because all the kids helped her. Dad only had to work one job and it was enough for a nice house, car, and plenty of food, and you went on family vacations! You could afford it, you didn't owe ten years of your salary for a college education you have to now get to even get a decent job, which is ridiculous. You didn't have to go to college at all if you didn't want to and you could still support your family with one damn job! Your workplace carried family insurance and you didn't have to worry about that either. You didn't have to charge groceries to a credit card because they were affordable and again your one job paid you what you were worth and you had job stability. Everything made sense. Everyone in the family pulled together, knew their role, and life was good. Everyone wasn't on depression meds and people liked other people and were even kind to them..we've definitely traveled in the wrong direction in the last 40 years. I miss this era so much and would gladly go back if it were possible..

No whining to get your student loan handout, no whining about "climate change" ruse. If you were there in the 1980s, you enjoyed it like most of us who were did. If you were not there, it was a superb time to be a teenager and then a young adult.
