CBS and ABC Commercials (1980)

[@Cheirosa81]

People were more active and social back then, the commercials reflect that 😊.

[@jrswackhammer8205]

Social media was the worst thing for us as the human race. How far it's driven us apart.

[@Cheirosa81]

@jrswackhammer8205 Oh yes! Please take me back to a simpler time 🙏

[@lauramorante827]

I am 52 years old and remember most of these nostalgic commercials

[@robert7984]

00:51 That "TV Special" music always got me excited!!!

[@cdheidt]

me too. It was a rush!

[@mycatisabastard2361]

Same

[@Cosmic_Kitten2]

Yes, it did me too!

[@a.rosesrbleu9580]

Especially around Christmas time! Frosty or The Grinch or Rudolph was going to be on and that was the one time of year they would show it, no reruns, no Videotapes, lol!

[@wayfarer4578]

Same

[@rynwin1]

$4195 for a car...hmmmph

[@Lovejazz01]

“ it does say so on the box, I guess it’s true “

[@Cosmic_Kitten2]

Lol! That one made me laugh! 😂

[@a1xeus]

That's a trip I read your comment right during the commercial.

[@coolmovieman1]

[@massimochiacchia3261]

Powers Boothe was an extraordinary actor. RIP.

[@ilovethetampabaylightning92]

He did an amazing job at portraying Jim Jones. He could have made Jones a caricature but he really captured Jones’ personality.

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

E NUNN THANK YOU FOR THIS TAKING ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD 😘

[@jamiemccoy1329]

I remembered my parents watching this on tv when i was 7

[@AckzaTV]

you better mke some new genre of music like pre vaporwae , maybe some sort of disco funk thing i mean they have future funk

[@t.b.g.504]

54:16 - the Ford Escort was a definite improvement on the Pinto!

[@mediasawdust2458]

Something's been lost in this day and age of instant access.

[@davek12]

That movie was amazing, and hearing the lineup of stars reminds me why. I think I was about 12 when I watched this all the way through, and I was shocked when my parents both corroborated that it was true. This was about 1990, so just long enough after it happened to not be brought up much. This typecast Powers Boothe so thoroughly in my mind that I saw him as Jim Jones for the rest of his life.

[@normanlee3236]

I remember sitting on the side of the bathtub watching my old man in his tighty whiteys rubbing Grecian Formula thru his hair. Now he's gone.

[@cdheidt]

No drug pharmaceutical commercials?

[@Cosmic_Kitten2]

The good ol’ days.

[@deniseg812]

Or talking about "home goin", cancer dx, MCARE. Watch Cosi and you know your place in this world. lol

[@dpowers8755]

13:29 I still have a running all original 1981 prelude same color with am/fm 8 track tape player 😊

[@tj921able]

I like the guy in the Dristan ad, "What's with the big box?" LOL

[@thenightporter]

It is interesting to see commercials for products that no longer exist.

[@ernestcruz6316]

Saturday Night Fever premiered on network TV in 1980...just as the disco music craze was winding down. By the end of the year the Village People movie Can't Stop the Music had proved that era was just about stone dead.

[@Rescue162]

44:20 - Ziploc Storage Bags. "Shake, shake, shake your blueberries...on Blueberry Hill!"

[@jasettereddix2856]

53:42 I like the early 80's Sizzler commercial from 1980 and I love Sizzler.

[@Rescue162]

53:09 - outgoing President Jimmy Carter said he will not go back to his peanut farming business because "he considers the commercial world inappropriate for an ex-President".

[@PhaQ2]

Imagine a president with standards...

[@stephanim2436]

He went back

[@RexHeuermann]

3:00 Is it possible that the dental hygiene product advert deliberately used black people so that the teeth would look extremely white?

[@joebickers893]

No ED commercials

[@JerryOrbachFan]

I live in Florida and remember Burdines well.

[@ilovethetampabaylightning92]

I had such a crush on Powers Boothe. He was a truly remarkable actor with tremendous range. No one could have played Jim Jones the way he did.

[@jmthompson437]

"What's with the big box?"

[@elmobolan4274]

"What is it with the big box" 😆

[@mikejohnson515]

58:58 Take your medicine. Grandma!

[@yogibeer9319]

Man that brings back great memories for me of 1980 Miami

[@VitaTristis]

27:37 Rex Everhart in the Plush commercial. RIP

[@eugenesmith2363]

Good afternoon 🎉🎉🎉 0:26

[@brentmann2988]

45:52 Dan Ingram on the voice-over for Fresh Start. If you listened to New York City radio in the 60s through 90s, you'll remember him from his work on WABC-AM and WCBS-FM. 48:33 Burgess Meredith for Honda.

[@zombiefulci3301]

What you will instantly see and hear is these commercials are rich in color and the voices of the people have variances and personality also the tones are better. People had wonderful textured voices now commercials are sickly shades of grey and everyone in commercials look CGI and sound like armpit farts.

[@grasmere64]

That looks like Kate Capshaw as the redhead in the Faberge shampoo commercial.

[@susanb2015]

These nice old commercials were interrupted by a New commercial. Yuck

[@JHollowayNetwork]

this is nice! but you've got any breaks from WHEC Rochester?

[@ENunn]

i don't think so but i might? idk. if i do find any i'll upload them as soon as i can

[@darrellgarrett72]

Guyana Tragedy - Don’t drink the Kool Aid!

[@corbinestep5102]

Any T.A.T breaks?

[@ENunn]

nope sorry

[@corbinestep5102]

what about finding more of them on EBay?

[@susanb2015]

6:6 12. I remember that.

[@thenightporter]

Ever notice that there were way more commercials for deodorant and pain reliever back then?

[@daniellebaskin4533]

Is Black Friday shopping

[@Desslar]

The Tegrin shampoo ad features Paul Gleason, known for playing obstinate authority figures in films like The Breakfast Club and Die Hard. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXnQkoqMocyZp8k

[@love4thetruth]

The very baby stages of wokeism. Actually had been started in the early 70's. But the thought leaders knew the push had to be incremented subtly.

[@donkique956]

What are you talking about?
