1980 to 1997 was the last great era for commercials.

[@chuckdieselkicksdisks2380]

Thanks for all the local vintage content and newscasts

[@amhaney1]

loved those K Tel records.

[@bookerlo1977]

Man, Schlitz Beer is something that I haven’t seen since my uncle used to drink it.

[@HereForTheComments]

Thom McKee may have had his record beaten by Ken Jennings, but 31 days still puts him on the leaderboard of game show juggernauts. 31 days is just one day shy of James "The Gambler" Holzhauer.

Freshen Up gum and it's sugar free countepart Chewels bring back great memories until you remember that unless kept them in something other than your pocket, they would get smooshed and smear their innards all over.

A roller skating elephant headlines over Anthony Quinn and Hoyt Axton on The Mike Douglas Show. He was sure keeping the 70’s alive in 1980.

[@jerseyfla]

This must have been a year after Group W/Westinghouse dropped Mike Douglas because his show would be shown on KDKA 2.

[@pannoni8449]

Although Devo would be a guest in just a couple weeks, featuring the very '80s-sounding "Whip It".

[@scottaw666]

@@pannoni8449 Oddly, I wasn’t able to get into Devo, yet I did with Yoko. Crazy world lol.

[@sherryhannah498]

@scottaw666 Hoyt Axton wrote 3 Dog Night's big hit record Joy to the World and his mama Mae Boren Axton wrote Heartbreak Hotel for the King Elvis Presley.......a roller skating elephant I bet if that happened today PETA would have a heart attack....I hope you will reply to this

[@sherryhannah498]

@@jerseyfla I don't want to sound like a smart ass but KDKA 2 is the Pittsburgh CBS affiliate

[@sherryhannah498]

I hope y'all will reply to this I love StarKist tuna and Ultra Brite toothpaste is still made I have it and this day September 12 1980 was my 11th birthday

4:04 Is that "fake Jan" from the Brady Bunch Hour ??

[@meheuck]

SCHIZOID commercial brazenly stealing the PSYCHO violins.

[@VahanNisanian]

Can anyone name all 31 contestants in that promo with Thom McKee?

[@zaq55]

@ 5:56 Why is that cassette tape upside down?

[@sherryhannah498]

@zaq55 cause that was how the cassette player was made

[@zaq55]

@@sherryhannah498That makes sense. Never had one like that.
