Television Commercials 1974-5 Restored...

[@jeffbowen2608]

4th of July of 74 I made my first trip to Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm with my family. I was four years old & my brother was 2. My aunt & uncle lived in La Mirada, CA at the time (just up the road from Biola University where I would attend 20-some years later). I would have seen all these ads on LA TV.

[@dorothydromgoole8040]

I love watching these ads again and remembering the way it used to be. In 1974 and 1975 I was going to the smallest school in the California school system, Allegheny. I wish I could go back there. Love from Marysville California

[@Dorthy-wx9fq]

I love these old ads, I remember some of them. They remind me of a time long gone. The time of when I was a kid and a teenager and living with my parents. I miss those days.

The Columbo Promo is from early May, 1974. The episode in question, A Friend In Need, aired on May 5, 1974.

[@ernestcruz6316]

I found one that I bet a lot if people missed (including myself, the first time anyway): at the 1:00:08 mark, the little blonde haired girl in the Tender Vittles commercial is Missy Gold (Katie on Benson).

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

That IS her, isn't it? She grew up to be fine-looking didn't she?

[@svjim1]

I remember Johnny Carson mentioning the z channel. I figured it was like what we had in San Diego at the time Channel 100.
