October 2, 1982 Commercial Breaks - KTLA (Ind., Los Angeles)

[@tyroned532]

when i want to escape, i watch these commercials... they make me feel good, and bring me back to a time in my life... thank you so much for posting these...

[@RottenRockster]

I thought i was the only one

[@richartrod]

I grew up on KTLA in the 80's. I always thought it had the classiest on-air presentation of the independent stations in L.A. of the period. A reflection of the staff and management that Gene Autry's Golden West Broadcasters had when it owned the station.

I remember most of these commercials , and it seems like it was only yesterday. Channel 5 , KTLA, Los Angeles used to show a lot of good movies. The clip of the promotion of Laugh Trax was spoofing the Valley girl image , lol . She was speaking in "Val talk" ( Frank Zappa's daughter had a hit record , "Valley Girl , " Omg , Like that is so bitching ", lol! I showed my teenage son the commercial of the video games that we used to play. He fell on the floor laughing at the graphics. He said it was 2 dimensional , and was on the level for second graders. I told him , hey some kids played these games and were inspired to go in the computer field. Don't laugh because they made computers better for your ungrateful generation. The C and H sugar spot. I miss this commercial on TV. I tell my wife my mother always bought C and H sugar and she gets mad and says ," Sugar is Sugar!" I tell her imho C and H was the best sugar available. Thank you for uploading these commercials because my parents were still alive on this date.

About those "second-grade" level video games your kids laughed at, they were state-of-the-art at the time. If he thinks that those games are primitive, you should tell him about "Pong".

[@shawnmalone9711]

@@allisoncorona1324 You're right! It was a state of the art video game in the early 1970s. I'll see if I can find it on KZbin.

[@foxykins]

Wait until they find out that some games were entirely text-based. I remember trying to secretly boot my Apple //e to play games without my parents finding out that I was still awake ... I can only describe the sound as a robot having a stroke.

My 12th grade economics teacher, Mr. Tibbetts, would frequently talk about working at Zody's while attending Cal State Northridge.

[@shawnmalone9711]

Dude , I bought 10 footlockers in 1985 to store comic books. I bought them at Zody's for around $12.00. I still have the comic books in them. They're in comic book bags and are still in good condition.

[@KatB69]

My family and I moved to CA in 1980, I remember commercials like these back then. There were only a few channels: Channel 2 CBS, Channel 9 (don't recall name) Channel 4 was NBC, and there was Channel 13 and Channel 11 Fox. I think there was Channel 5 as well.. No cable back then of course

[@rodriguez1025]

@@KatB69 Channel 9 was KHJ, then became KCAL in 1989.

[@howardbeale661]

In the '70s and '80s, KTLA Channel 5 was the COOLEST channel on TV!! Saturday mornings, we may have tuned in to the 'Big 3' (CBS, NBC (not so much!) and ABC), but Saturday (and Sunday) afternoons belonged to KTLA. The Munsters, Gilligan's Island, Family Film Festival, Star Trek and of course, the 'Movie for a Saturday/Sunday Evening' -- which was ALWAYS something good!

[@kittiekat8920]

I miss when channel 13 channel 11 snd channel 5 were just local stations. Channel 5 had the best scary movies

[@ricflair9717]

Channel 13 was the Benny Hill channel, 11 was the WWF Superstar and Kung Fu Theater channel. And don't forget Channel 9. I still remember the jingle just before football season, " Raiders, Raiders, Raiders on 9." Oh and Elvira.

[@matthewestrada407]

Channel 11 was the newest back in the 80's married with children cops and the tracy Allman show.

Looking for the crazy LA electronics store commercials from the early 80s, anyone know the store and commercials?

[@Channel37TV]

The one that immediately comes to mind is "Fred Rated for Federator." Is that along the lines of what you're looking for? If so, I have a Federated commercial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJvOgmOHa76Jo9U
