Commercials and Bumpers from 1978

A collection of Commercials, Bumpers, Previews and News Briefs recorded off of various San Francisco area broadcast TV stations in 1978.
These recordings are from 3 different Betamax tapes. After researching the dates of specific events mentioned in news briefs, football schedules and episode guides for TV show previews, I've determined that the recordings are from these dates:
Part 1: 0:00 to 25:50
Saturday, April 1, 1978 - KRON TV - NBC - Channel 4
NBC Saturday Night at the Movies - "My Name is Nobody"
Part 2: 25:51 to 45:51
Sunday, October 8, 1978 - KGO TV - ABC Channel 7
ABC Sunday Night Movie - "The Gumball Rally"
Part 3: 45:52 to 1:07:39
Thursday, May 4, 1978 - KTVU TV - Channel 2
KTVU 8 O'Clock Movie - "A Fistful of Dollars"

For God's sake I really miss this flavor of TV. It was weird. When I had 13 channels, I always found something to watch. And, now that I have 1000+ channels, can't find a damn thing.

[@CDash162]

13 channels??? In Ireland we only had 5. But there was always something good on. Now we have 100+ but it's all rubbish.

[@marianmoser-otto3590]

Bad Mako I totally agree with you. Sometimes I can't find a single thing to watch. You Tube is more entertaining!

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

+Charlotte Dashwood 13 channels, which included 3 major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) and a few "local" channels, I guess (I can't remember what the rest of the channels were), and for a given channel you had to move the TV antenna around and "hope" for good reception. The 13 channels were so-called "VHF" channels, and also there were (in theory) some "UHF" channels but I don't remember them having good reception (at least on our TV). I agree about modern TV--we have several hundred channels (or less, depending on how much you're willing to pay for cable) but it's almost all junk. There's also satellite TV (as opposed to cable), but I assume it's pretty much the same.

[@CDash162]

@@not-so-smartaleck8987 No Satalite TV is actually good. You have the Sony channel for your Hart to Hart and TJ Hooker and Forces TV runs the A Team and " V " . Theres also The Love Boat and Fr Dowling Mysteries. All that great 80s stuff. You should really consider getting a satellite installed but make sure you get someone to put it up who knows what they are doing.

[@MarmaLady__]

Not-so-smart aleck Same here! Lol Except.. we barely had 5 or 6 channels. Guaranteed 3 local/national network channels, plus PBS and 1 or 2 channels on uhf.. if it was a clear day and the antenna was right in place. Lol. looking back now, those were the days... I enjoy watching these long blocks of commercials or having them in background while I’m cooking & cleaning...Brings back great memories.

I have never smoked because I hated it that she smoked and figured I had enough second hand smoke to kill me lol But I agree during every show now it’s some kind of pill with horrible side effects that sound worse than what you are taking it for! I always joke about the medication for crohns and say yes cancer is so much better than some stomach aches and diarrhea lol I would love to relive the 1980’s it was truly magical as a teen.

The Safeway at 9:11 is still there. If you Google 850 La Playa St, San Francisco, you can see it still has the mansard roof but an updated facade. It is about a block from the beach.

(I was already living in Germany by then, but they'd kept my room for me for when I came back to visit.). If the set design in the commercial was already 8 years old at the time of this commercial, no wonder it was on sale! Still, mine was definitely built to last, so it was a good deal! 😊 I remember that when I first got it, I had to climb up the foot of the bed to get in! Thanks for the memories! 😊

37:20 Sort of an all-star cast for that tawdry-sounding TV movie (ABC "A guide for the married woman")--Cybill Shepherd, Peter Marshall, Bonnie Franklin, Barbara Feldon, Eve Arden.

Can u still buy bufferin? Or is bufferin Advil? I remember in 1997 there was an elderly lady I worked with, she still took Anacin. I remember when I first took Aleve as a 20 year old, I got buzzed so bad it was scary. Like I tried to turn my car on by putting a quarter in the trunk key hole.

I think Bufferin and Anacin disappeared into the past.

Where was Perry Mason, Peter Gun, Wyatt Earp, Gunsmoke and the Sunday night Disney feature?
