It's crazy how far back the memories go. I was 4 when this aired, but much of this was still going strong by the end of the 80's and I remember it all. Television when it was broadcast off of a film transfer machine hits different. I love it!

[@keetmadu1054]

These commercials remind me how fast life goes by. Some of these I feel like I watched yesterday.

I was 14 and I remember Bonkers...funny 😂🍇🍒🍓🫐

Here's a weird thing: The Bugs Bunny and Road Runner show would pop up again on WTVD five years later... as The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show on ABC...

[@jarrellmason9080]

I was born when WTVD switched from CBS to ABC so this is a treat for me to see commercials from when TVD was with CBS.

To be accurate, this is from June 23, 1984.

[@jamesmcclelland1414]

True.

[@renevaldez808]

Man the 80s what a decade.

¿Where's the footage of the Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner Show's 1984-85 blur title cards (along with the Cartoon Gold opening)?, because there's many lost BBRR 1984-85 blur card to share in footage format yet

[@DreamDancer82]

Oooh, a Get Along Gang commercial I haven't seen yet! Thanks!

[@arthurweems2839]

Yes Lord. I grew up in the Fayetteville area. Saturday mornings were cool. By 1984, I was 12/13 so. I was into Soul Train and American Bandstand and Solid Gold. Then into Rick Dees Weekly Top 40

[@dianeadkins-diorio1783]

Roughly a year before ABC bought WTVD and switched it to ABC, while then-ABC affiliate WRAL switched to CBS...

True, Diane.

Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, Soul Train...I could go on forever. #WTVD11flashbacks #CBS

[@EatingDessertFirst]

Wheel still airs on WTVD to this day.

[@WREYtube]

NICE!!!! This would be cool to see if it gets on the trading circuit. :)

With all the streaming today. Kids will never be able to go back in time the way us old heads can

I remember watching the guy with the torch run by in L.A. I was very young, but I remember it.

[@leighburton832]

That was when Bubblicious had real sugar and got stuck to your face!

[@Rebmetpes4]

Soul Train and the US Army commercials NOW THAT WAS SATURDAYS!

Why did the mini figures make Zipper wear pants? He wore shorts.

[@chris2302]

I'm loving this! I love watching videos of WTVD and WRAL prior to their August 1985 network swap. Do you have any videos (especially WTVD) from late 1970s through early 1980s?

[@ClunkerSlim]

Chris I didn’t even realize the networks switched. I have no memory of that at all. I was watching this and thinking, “why is there an ABC station id on CBS?”

[@chris2302]

@@ClunkerSlim WRAL and WTVD switched networks on August 4, 1985.

@@chris2302 Damn. Why do I have no memory of this. Seems like it would have been a big deal.

[@chris2302]

@@ClunkerSlim It was a big deal. WTVD became an ABC affiliate due to its owner (Capital Cities) merging with ABC. WRAL became one of the top CBS affiliates in the USA shortly after the switch.

These Saturday morning 🌞 commercials on then-CBS affiliate ABC 11/WTVD-TV 📺 in Durham, North Carolina, originally aired 💨 on June 23, 1984.

[@bhayes06]

Oh, BTW, can anyone identify the Soul Train episode from this collection? I'm almost 100% sure that it's the one featuring the Deele, Kim Fields and Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr.
