WBBM-TV2 February 4, 1979 Chicago Rocky Commercial Breaks..

[@marktubeie07]

A promo for _'Co-Ed Fever'_ coming up next. Little did we know the series only aired 1 episode... and that was the night it aired!!!

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

It went from 'We're coming on' to 'We're going out' !

[@fromthesidelines]

CBS panicked, because the ratings for "CO-ED FEVER" [at 10:30pm(et)] didn't match the one "Rocky" got (they lost a quarter of that audience). The series was scheduled to premiere at 8:30pm on Monday, February 19th- but the network pulled the plug after the "preview" episode [five more episodes were taped, but never telecast].

Natural Light commercial: "Boy, it sure is different watching a Rocky show without a moose in it!"

[@kennethbrown5358]

[@martinrojas2737]

I remember the Datsun “We Are Driven” slogan...and of course the Polaroid ads!

[@bhayes06]

I also hope y'all will reply to this the very first VCR/DVD player I had was a Sylvania. Even though at the time of these commercials DVD hadn't been invented yet and there was no home video yet

4:52 The day the family unit ended!!!!!!

[@monstermax5265]

I feel women have the right to work many different types of jobs but your right. I saw an interview from the producer I think it was of the movie, Trading Places , and was interviewed by Alex Jones before this guy died shortly after from cancer I think it was. Anyway, he admitted he befriended a Rockefeller and since the Rockefellers funded the women's movement , he asked him what he thought it was all about ? He answered , " YOU know, for women to have rights and be equal and he responded, " Your an idiot . Our family funded it " and went on to say that the real purpose was to divide families , get double the income taxes in revenue , and to get children into the government schools at a younger age.

I hope y'all will reply to this I liked that Holiday Inn commercial and I have a plate with that Holiday Inn logo on it...also this was 1 day before my mother turned 40

[@chrisutley2859]

Major sponsors for this presentation look to be McDonald’s, Datsun, Anheiser Busch & Polaroid.

[@monstermax5265]

Ha, nothing wrong with some beer but was a great idea by Rocky NOT to be smashed before fighting Apollo, Clubber Lane, the Russian, or anyone else ,haha !!!

[@micmac99]

2:05 I heard people thought James Garner and Mariette Hartley were actually married.

[@fatfreddyscat5767]

Lol..I was one of em.

[@StudioZ7]

They were essentially playing a married couple. James Garner wasn't really a private investigator either. But yes, she famously had a T-shirt made that said "I AM NOT JAMES GARNER'S WIFE!"
