Back when commercials weren't loud and were obnoxious but not too obnoxious.

Yes, THAT Meredith Vieira

[@jareddicarlo7816]

Love the glimpse at a young Meredith Viera at the end. She had just come from Channel 2 in New York.

[@newscenter5]

actually she left WJAR in 1979 and then headed to WCBS -- and then CBS News....

15 mpg!? Wow that's a gas guzzler.

I think WJAR-TV had just moved from the into their new building on Dorrance street next to their former location next door on the 5th floor of the Outlet Department store building. The new studios had RCA TK-47 cameras and a Vital Switcher with Squeezoom.

Is that non-binary rep in the KFC commercial? In 1979? OUTStANDING.
