St.Louis Television Commercial Legends

[@lobitome]

Uncle Leonard was a stand up guy and quite a character. One winter when we had a blizzard going on outside, my Brothers and I were inside the Checkersome watching the Blues play, and and older guy sits down next to us, and it was Uncle Leonard. The stories he told us were great.

The man at 1:47 is Tom Lewis

[@jimknepper7307]

He spelled his name as Thom

I sold Steve Mizerany a TV when I worked at Circuit City South County.. Now that was surreal

[@natalliaf6387]

1:47 the guy who pitched for National grocery stores once came into the gas station I worked at. Bought a tank full of regular unleaded. Seemed a decent enough fella.

Steve Mizerany and Uncle Leonard. Those commercials were classics.

God Bless Steve Mizerany. Steve was generous; quietly raising millions of dollars for St Judes Childrens Hospital. While at St. Louis University '73 to '77, I personally witnessed his charitable work which Steve did without attention or publicity. Steve was humble good man, very different than his commercial image, which we all played at... just for fun! Mr. Mizerany, he has a special place in Heaven. Please ,say a quiet prayer every time you think of Steve Mizerany.... God Bless.... rdb

What a great tribute. I never knew him, just loved his commercials. Obviously a hell of a good soul. May he Rest in Peace.

Where was that metro Chrysler located?

[@jr42a1]

How about Jack Lampert auto parts or ghetto based Terry's Polynesian room ?

Uncle Leonard sold this very expensive high quality TV brand called Curtis Mathes, I think his actual name was Leonard Muntz and he had the exclusive concession on this brand in the St Louis Area. Another of his kind acts I read about in the paper, two brothers, with a hereditary form of deafness had their hearing aids stolen on the beach when they were on vacation in FL and the hearing aids were about $1000 back then (the 70s) and he heard about it and bought them new ones.

[@KiddBloo86]

The world would be a great place with more people like Uncle Leonard.

[@dovbarleib3256]

Yes, he did

[@showmejim7365]

Brett Hull wearing number 17

[@rshepard737]

Noticed that as well

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

3:19 who's the man sitting next to Peg? He looks so familiar, did he do the weather or sports on one of the TV stations?

[@mgabrysSF]

what year was this - and is there any way to clean up the audio?

[@ToyTiger]

Didn't Steve Mizerany have his own appliance store and that's how he started doing commercials? At first, everyone was shocked at how awful and unprofessional and embarassing his commercials were, then after a couple of years, people started to "get" him. A teacher at my HS (who was a goofy character in his own right) appeared in a commercial doing an imitation of him - he won a contest the store had.

[@airdaleva42]

Great memories. Anybody got the Videon comercials?

[@dj33036]

I'd love to see a special done about the life of Anne Keefe.

[@natalliaf6387]

[@vitameat]

What about Dana Brown? (Safari Coffee......:)0

[@superschmolz]

No Slyman brothers?

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

[@Ambignostic]

I'd love to find footage of TV30 (pronounced "tee vee three oh"), a ripoff of R2D2 that channel 30 rolled out to appeal to little kids

[@beth63130]
