The more You watch these commercials the more you miss those days

[@MrJoowoneeno]

Commercials in a world that has sadly passed into history.

[@shavonnestacia2865]

"For the price that's always right, See Seamans first"..... I will never forget that jingle.... Before Bob's Furniture, There was Seamans....

[@drummingdanny84]

Seaman's was the ish!

[@mcribs7811]

That ad with the frank Perdue mask was something I thought I imagined as a kid. I also thought that was Leonard NeMoy

[@RobPryme]

Does anyone else recall a seat belt PSA consisting of a vignette of folks putting them on, including (who I assume to be) Victor Borge? It had this unforgettable tune that I haven't been able to find since the advent of YT.

[@heatherr0420]

Throwing up in the tri-state area I remember these commercials vividly Thanks for the Memories

Renault 8.5% in '85, I was in the Army stationed in West Germany. I remember watching this and Crazy Eddie commercials back in my Brooklyn days. What I really appreciate is the I Love NY commercial with Gregory Peck, Liza Minelli, Frank Sinatra and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Excellent.

Wow, I was in 12th grade dying to graduate and be done with school. I can still recall a lot of this.

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

Man, holiday sales were a much bigger thing back then?

[@chalklounge]

This is back in the Metromedia days before WNYW (formerly WNEW TV) became one of the first FOX affiliates. A truly independent station. Miss these days.

[@dsriggs]

40 years of fine tuning? Their signal must've been AWFUL.

[@dalemcilwain]

If residents from Connecticut, New Jersey & Upstate can get the signal? It was pretty strong.

[@frankdeste7941]

Goodbye Red Lobster!!!!

[@MitchellHang]

Where did this come from, specifically?

[@FanCntrlNetwork]

I got some recorded tapes from a relative in New Jersey back in 2016 and this was part of that lot

[@nicholascrockett63098]

1. Does This Tape Have The Sign Off At The End Of The Movie? 2. Is It VHS Or Betamax? Please Comment Me, Do Not Forget!

[@FanCntrlNetwork]

It doesn't have the sign off, and this is from a VHS.

[@MitchellHang]

Speaking of Betamax, that commercial makes me want to own a Beta machine SO BAD.

[@nicholascrockett63098]

And Since I Wanted To Get This Beta Machine! I Will Show It To You Right After My Graduation Party!
