Buying our record albums at Korvettes was the norm for us teens and young adults back in the 1970's. Buying our clothes at Gimbels was also quite popular, although we needed a job that paid a salary that could afford us that luxury, as their clothing and shoes were a bit on the expensive (for that time) side. Ran up quite a hefty charge account there!

I remember that Kaopectate commercial like it was yesterday. The clip from the old silent movie was made by the American Biograph studio. There was a picture frame with the studio's "AB" logo, the first example of a bug telling you that you were watching an American Biograph movie. They tried to sneak the "AB" into every scene.

[@fromthesidelines]

In those days, there were unscrupulous independent movie producers who often produced their own versions of certain films in order to be the first to release them to theaters. To combat this, some companies like American Biograph often sneaked their logo into the scenery to establish they were the ONE AND ONLY studio who originated the film you were watching. Stricter copyright laws later enforced and established ownership of those films.

[@luisreyes1963]

Kaopectate is now made by Kramer Laboratories. It has also been reformulated to be similar to Pepto-Bismol.

[@CoopyKat]

The Fall of 1975 was a disaster for the 3 networks.....they were cancelling shows QUICKLY because of changes in the Nielsen ratings system, and shuffling shows to different nights/times...even TV Guide had a hard time keeping up with it!

This must be from an aircheck, as Betamax was a month away from its American debut. It had debuted in Japan six months prior to that.

Prior to VHS and Bata tapes, there were VTR machines. Expensive and bulky as hell.

It was great being born in NYC in the 70’s.

[@smichaelb1980]

actually there were earlier,primitive VTR's (as they were called) available in the early 70's,but were extremely pricey. ergo,not many of them sold to the mainstream market.

[@davidbrunson8887]

yeah but there's also stuff recorded from the 50's on here as I found. It wasn't from any type of machine.

There might be a theme song for The Family Holvak, but it's very hard to find.

I was a 1 month old baby (9/11/75) when this aired. These are so interesting to watch, knowing that my baby eyes first got exposed to these jingles.
