Jessica Savitch NBC News Update. I know who she was, but I don't recall ever seeing footage of her "in action" in her career like this. This is amazing. RIP Jessica Savitch 💙🙏🏻🕯

The Rubbermaid commercial with the mommy and daughter turned my heart to complete mush

[@luisreyes1963]

That Frigidaire washer ad made me feel funny...😬

I grew up with those exact same stickers in my grandma's bathtub.

These commercials were shown on WMAQ-TV in Chicago. 📺

Wow. We never had the rubbermaid thingy in the tub. We had the mat. I'm kinda glad though cuz at least with the mat, you pulled it up to clean the tub lol vs all those star thingy lol. I can remember a friend had those, an we were like "ooh ahh" new fangled star thingy lol.

The late Jessica Savitch with an NBC News Update @20:21 The NBC special report at 1030pm she mentions interrupted the premier of Battlestar Galactica over on ABC.

I believe the last woman in the Break shampoo ad was Rebecca Holden. That man playing Emory in the Cool Whip ad is Charles Welch, who also played the Pepperidge Farm guy in TV ads at that time, replacing the original spokesman, Parker Fennelly. Mel Stewart is the guy at the end of that second McDonald's Big Mac ad. That has to be Joe Silver as the voice of Buster Bones in the Gravy Train commercial.

Unfortunately, as a Gen Xer, I grew up during Disney's "dark ages", well before their renaissance, and well after their glory days---but you watched the "Wonderful World of Disney", anyway, because you hoped maybe once---just once--for television they would bring out their good stuff like "Snow White" or "Fantasia"--but instead, you were either served with their crap like "Shaggy DA" or "The Apple Dumpling Gang", or Winnie the Pooh!

[@pannoni1491]

Not to mention, the classics were only released once every seven years. It wasn't until just before the renaissance that most of the classics were readily accessible, either through VHS or from a Disney Channel airing. The theme parks was what really kept Disney in business. And Disney was so desperate, they got on the disco trend, too. But it seems like Disney is in another dark age, this time through cheesy revivals instead of just bad movies.

@@pannoni1491 Maybe it's just me, but I was okay with some of the "dark ages" Disney stuff.
