6:44 the iconic voice of Paul Frees for Busch Gardens, sounding a lot like Orson Welles. 12:55 George S. Irving on the voice-over for Stouffer's. 28:40 the super deep voice of Ken Nordine. 4:39 that's the voice of Lester Rawlins, who was best known for his Dunkin' Donuts voice-overs. 6:12 the great Peter Thomas for Thomas' English muffins.

[@sherylmccrorey1088]

[@johnmartin3735]

[@kjk7611]

Mines, different year.

[@kjk7611]

Those NESTLE QUICK COOKIES kids are in their late 40s-early 50s.

[@billyday6387]

Wow I was like 2 months old but was great watching them from back then

[@caseydavis2552]

Taken from WNAC-TV channel 7, the former CBS affiliate in Boston, MA.

[@zaq55]

19:11 - Edward Winter wants you to buy a VCR.

[@OofusTwillip]

Ruffles - Geri Reischel ("fake Jan" on "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour", when Eve Plumb refused to participate in the debacle) Keebler - Parley Baer voiced the Keebler Elf. Parley had started out as an animal trainer in a circus, before becoming one of Hollywood's top radio actors in the 1940s and 50s. When TV killed radio, he seamlessly moved into roles in TV and commercials.

[@zaq55]

Also with Paul Winchell. Can someone name the third elf?

[@zaq55]

@ 14:13 - Ron Masak as “Joe” helping Tom Bosley sell plastic bags.

[@wmbrown6]

Lee Jordan was the CBS Late Movie bumper V/O this night.

[@DBradshaw25]

4:43 Actress Beverly Archer from Mama's Family in an S.O.S. commercial!

[@OofusTwillip]

Tums - voiceover by Jackson Beck. He was a great radio actor and cartoon voice artist at Fleischer/Famous Studios, starting in the 1930s. He voiced Bluto in Popeye cartoons, and was the narrator in the Superman cartoons.

[@kjk7611]

Wow! They were still using the older CBS musical promo for The Monday Night Movie (HARRY O).

[@michaelbass3865]

15:12 Promo for reruns of "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" that aired the same month during the CBS Late Movie. According to CLG Wiki, the rare TAT Communications logo seen at the end of daytime reruns of "One Day at a Time" and "The Jeffersons" during this time was also seen on CBS Late Movie reruns of "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," but I haven't confirmed that for myself since I wasn't born until 1986 and I have yet to find video recordings of the reruns, so far I've only found promos.

[@veelalynne]

Awww...an awesome line up to the cbs late movie and I can’t watch it. Because I was 9 when this aired....

[@chrisrj9871]

Always weird as an American to hear mention of the British Avengers in 2021...

[@halcaannen]

11:32, Wow there were other versions of krazy glue.

[@baylinkdashyt]

Orson Wells narrating that Busch Gardens spot?

[@brentmann2988]

That is the great Paul Frees, who does sound a lot like Orson Welles.

[@JFD62780]

#3: . . . Did...you actually pay attention to what was advertised? It was the competitor to Rolaids, Tums, that was advertised. :/

[@TheNicsmom]

Alka-Seltzer With Sammy Davis Jr And Speedy 3:45 9 Lives 4:14 Green Giant Niblets Corn In Butter Sauce 33:09

[@jamielamie2229]

WTF are they holding at 16:06 ??? is that a sea turtle?!?!

[@shrimpymacdougall3134]

It startled me 😂

[@ThomasSellers]

7:58: "Today's Americans don't want yesterday's ideas." George H W Bush, 1979. "I saw Crocodile Dundee, and I saw the drug scene treated with HUMOR, as if it were a humorous incident." George H W Bush, 1989. An idea from yesterday about yesterday's values that do not exist in reality, if ever there was one. Now I ask you, who does Bush think he's kidding about "yesterday's ideas?"

[@franceslarsen4037]

Where George Bush Sr was concerned, that's the least of what I find wrong with him, but I guess it's a starting place...

[@GD-eh3mj]

"A president that won't need to be trained."
