The commercials....damn....Their jingles and voices take me back, it’s almost jarring how much the memories of that time come flooding. It’s funny how the 70s and early 80s seem so comforting to me now, yet those times definitely felt infinitely more complex when living them in real time...

[@rickwhite3181]

Yes very comforting 💗

[@walkaway6212]

So much better than today. No 🏳‍🌈 perves shoving there perversion in your face. Not over run with ILLEGAL INVADERS. No out of control criminal DEMONrat scum. WOW how America has fallen in so few years. 20 more years and we will be a bigger $hithole than mexico. SAD EDIT: O, and people knew what a woman was back then too. 😂 No gender confused morons. Kids not being mutilated. Just having a NORMAL life playing outside and riding bikes with out crash helmets.😊

[@susancates0213]

I agree with that assessment. The world was in turmoil then as now and sometimes in our own homes but for better or worse you have different problems as an adult than as a child ✌️

[@bettyc.parker-young1437]

I appreciate these stories , actors, actresses, writers, , commercials, and people who put in the time to bring these wonderful creations to us from the past!!!!! Thank you so very much!!!!!😃

[@SuperKingslaw]

Loved the break-ins with updates to the ending rounds of the Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran fight #1. Also enjoyed the commercial by Justin Wilson, the Cajun Cook!

[@SuperStrik9]

Loved the fight updates too. This must be the June 20 1980 repeat listed in the info. That was the night of the Leonard - Duran fight.

[@adamantman3200]

Justin was doing stand-up comedy years before he did the cooking show. Most of the stories he told on the show were from his act. He was a master storyteller and very, very funny.

[@sarahcrews2544]

Justin's videos are still on twitch 24\7

[@incrediblesimilarity5858]

If you watch an old Justin Wilson cooking show, you are going to enjoy it thoroughly. I garontee it ! (inside joke to regular viewers) 👍👍

[@0tt0z]

Back when boxing was taken more seriously. I dont think I remember boxing updates during tv or radio shows since Mike Tyson was champion.

[@richardc2955]

listened to these growing up in the 70s as a young kid much better than the idiot box radio plays love them use your mind imagination

[@DancingQueenie]

Dream come true to time travel! The book Time & Again by Jack Finney takes a 20th century man back 100 years in old New York. Obviously struck a chord with millions of copies sold.

[@feralbluee]

thanks - this is a good story :) library ad is interesting. loved hearing the “only you can prevent forest fires”. why don’t we still have those? i loved Smokey Bear! whatever happened to the Better Business Bureau? but thank goodness i know how to skip. i really do hate commercials. 🐈🐾🌻

[@feliciagaffney1998]

I agree. These commercial breaks didn't cut in on the Mark's created by the producers. Very annoying. Plus, I found this very muffled and hard to hear. There are better OTR channels on YT. I will be sure never to listen to this one again.

[@susancates0213]

Those things still exist

[@padgecrack4018]

God I hate ads! Loving the plays though! Thanks for the uploads.

[@esterherschkovich5002]

Domestic Champagne😉made me smile..and am sure she said as they were looking in the room that was locked..A Secretary??

[@casper1959]

A writing desk.

[@susancates0213]

We had one in our house

[@cmgraham]

Pat Summerall, boxing updates, liberal Ed Asner💕💕: the 1970s: loved the commercials!! And, apparently, you could drink...a lot...when pregnant 😂

[@stephend5520]

I like the commercials and the episodes with the news in them too

[@melfreemans]

Yeah that took me back! My mom talked about having a cigarette with her obgyn in his office after her routine pregnancy exam!

[@melfreemans]

@Don Taylor I found a magazine from the late 40s when I was cleaning out my parents attic. There was an article advising new parents to put their babies in the crib on their bellies because "babies don't smother".

[@melfreemans]

@Don Taylor same...I'm 61 and we never used seatbelts or helmets or life jackets. I used to jump horses without a helmet. Parents at my barn make their kids wear helmets just to groom their horses...and we're talking $500 titanium reinforced helmets!

[@susancates0213]

​@@melfreemansMy mom smoked before during and after all her kids were born. One brother had asthma and I have lifetime allergies

[@TheMollyPitchers]

And we're off to Delmonico's!! They had NO sense of adventure....

[@esterherschkovich5002]

Great to hear the TV ad for a Soap..When i lived in Israel we used to watch The Young+The restless..in the 90s☺Bold+Beautiful too..if my memory serves me..lol.

[@violetfemme411]

jeez how depressing...but great story! Thx for posting :-)

[@rollingstopp]

THANK YOU

[@shanegarner7884]

LOVE the news reports on the fight.

[@deidrediane9594]

This is one of my favorites.

[@funniebunnie4u]

Prefer a happy ending, CBSMT... 😭😭 But... Still a terrific story!❣️

Are you near 61 E 58th where the mansion is located? Is there still and L train?

[@artemis4478]

Thanks!😊

[@WWZenaDo]

This was a depressingly cruel story that could have been greatly improved with a few tweaks. Upon being shot at, Harry/Hal could have faded away, thwarting the murderer. If the writers HAD to have heartbreaking tragedy written into the story, the young pregnant wife could have been left behind in time.

[@melidee1479]

Good one

[@candydale8380]

This story is so cool!!!!

[@gazzaclarke42]

What happened to the new set of clothes they ordered on the phone

[@incrediblesimilarity5858]

@Gary Clarke You missed the point, they did not actually dial an actual store. After drinking alcohol they were just kidding about ordering clothes. Feel free to look up the word factious for your edification. PEACE !

[@incrediblesimilarity5858]

@Willie Gordon I now realize I left out the letter E in the word facetious. In my defense I must admit I'm 68 years old with some Vision issues. I bow graciously to your spelling prowess and your excellent eyesight. 🤣🤣

[@mapleleaf0]

Spoiler: I can't help but start singing "I'm My Own Grandpa." If you're curious, look it up here on KZbin.

[@MrRolloTomasi]

Words have consequences....

[@debbieabshire2397]

Get rid of commercials

[@carollutton3340]

I liked the program but the commercials were extremely irritating. I wouldn’t have opened this one if I knew ahead you had the annoying breaks.

[@AmyChappell]

Why keep the sports breaks in it?

[@kidmack1121]

Probably to maintain the integrity of the original broadcast. The good thing is if you don't like anything about a particular episode or it's recording, you have almost 1400 episodes, from 1974 to 1982, to satisfy.

[@susancates0213]

Man it's nostalgia

[@slanjbo]

For anyone thats curious about the fight. Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmWUeJqKfquWb6M

[@bettyc.parker-young1437]

Wow from the comments I've read it's a wonder that some even come back for more torture!!!!😰😱😵

[@wmpetroff2307]

B+ rating. Boy, the acting is superb, though! I am staring at very old, faded photos of paternal and maternal grandparents and thinking all kind of thoughts. I do know somethings about them......

[@rrockhard1]

Dang sugar ray lost 🥊

[@candydale8380]

🤣🤣

[@franktheexpertstrenchclub9025]

I roll far deeper than this dude.

[@vincentnichols402]

To many commercials

[@ava.artemis]

Ugh can’t stand the ads, will make sure I don’t listen to this channel again
