"She's Got L'eggs"-first used in a series of both TV and print campaigns for L'eggs hosiery. Debuted in the fall of 1975 and featuring many celebrities such as Linda Gray, Debby Boone, Joyce DeWitt, Barbara Eden, Jamie Lee Curtis, Juliet Prowse, Erin Gray and more.

[@pannoni1491]

After disappearing for much of the '80s, it was then revived in the fall of 1987 using the ZZ Top song.

Fantastic nostalgia! Was a great Era! 🇺🇸 Thank you!

[@shawnmalone9711]

In the fall of 1975, I was in my first year of High School and remember almost all of these commercials. In 1975, we had Channel Z cable TV, and enjoyed watching TV without commercials. You were considered " cool" if your family had cable TV . I really enjoy seeing these old commercials again, believe it or not.

[@theoldar]

Me too. I was also a freshman in high school and I remember almost all of these that weren't aimed specifically at NYC.

1:36, those were 10x better than those Quaker granola chocolate chip bars we have now. I don’t know why they were discontinued. Peanut butter crunch was the best. Those General Mills Breakfast Squares deserve honorable mention!

[@bethmessner4453]

Jon Stewart, I totally agree! I wish they would bring them back!! 👍🏻

[@luisreyes1963]

Guess some people complained that those Carnation Breakfast Bars were nothing but glorified candy bars.

I graduated in 74 from HS. I remember a lot of these. Thanks.

[@buckeyefangirl1976]

We had only the three network channels. In my house though we only had NBC because we lived out in the country with a "lazy x" tv antenna. Anyone remember those?

[@cathywithac3793]

The lady with the saggy pantyhose in the first commercial is Linda Gray (Sue Ellen Ewing from Dallas). Also, those Flick my Bic commercials 8:43 were a hoot. I'm old enough to remember my NYC high school teachers used to be allowed to smoke in class. People actually smoked inside subway cars too!! P.S. My uncle had the Cordoba with the fine Corinthian leather, not the rich, crushed velour 9:45😂😂😂

The two women in the Certs ad are Ann Morgan Guilbert (Millie from The Dick Van Dyke Show) and Louise Williams (aka Liberty Williams).

Rita Moreno in the Subway Safety PSA

[@epaddon]

That PSA freaked me out as a kid with the guy about to be run over by the subway. Took me all these decades he was there retrieving his umbrella. Not sure I get though why the first two people are "problems" since the stupid motorman closed his doors too early and someone else left their litter for the lady to slip on! (I'm also pretty sure Moreno did a version of this spot in Spanish as well that also aired)

[@fromthesidelines]

22:55- "THE GREAT GREAT SHOW"- Channel 4's showcase of "late late movies"- followed "SN" (at 1am) during the 1975-'76 season. The following September, they scheduled "DON KIRSHNER'S ROCK CONCERT" instead.

[@wmbrown6]

Would you know what was used for "The Great Great Show" theme? I know its origins date to early-mid 1964 as a late Friday night/early Saturday morning 'skein' after "Tonight's News" which in turn followed "The Tonight Show" (their M-Th [broadcast day] overnight film 'skein' was then "The 13th Hour," changed later in 1964 to "Tonight's Movie," before "The Great Great Show" was expanded to five nights a week by 1966, Sunday nights/early Monday mornings added in 1967, and finally Saturday nights/early Sunday mornings in mid-1968 (which, in its first weeks, ran horror movies previously aired on their very short-lived [1965-68] "Festival of Thrillers" whose super-narrow film rotation made WPIX's "Chiller Theatre" look as diverse as WOR-TV's later "Fright Night" by comparison).
