The old WPLJ gone forever (1971-1983)

[@scottcassulis6062]

I miss this time wish we can go back to these times :(

[@TheaterPup]

Truly, nothing takes you back like an old commercial. ;D

[@luisreyes1963]

Especially the Crazy Eddie ones. 😒

[@Cosmickarma2010]

it's great to seen the classics again....Thank U you tube :)

[@jerzboy2011]

Huge rush of nostalgia watching this!

[@nyc78]

I almost forgot how catchy that Nestle jingle was!

[@mefault]

Great set Tap!! I love the Nestle ad and I always thought the Citrus Hill Select jingle was so catchy...

[@75aces97]

So many Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson movies. WPIX must have gotten a bulk rate on Canon films.

[@ShiksaWithChutzpah1]

As always, you're the best for uploading these. :) Channel 11 loved showing The Exorcist. I watched it every time. I was a strange kid, hehehe.

Oy vey Maa I was scared shit

[@nalvarado1384]

Great little tune for that Citrus Hill Select Orange Juice commercial. The way pop music sounded like in the 80's to me were the good ole days

[@darkmatter7668]

They used to OD on that "Cats" ad

[@a.b.s_productions]

Amen!! I remember in the early 1990's it seem like WPIX 11 promoted "Cats" very hard!! Lol

@@a.b.s_productions FOX 5 aka Channel 5 WNYW New York as well!!😉👍

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

Marty Mcfly Definitely in the morning hours! I can remember everyday while watching the news hearing the announcer saying “CATS, Now playing at the Winter Gardens Theater....get yourself tickets today.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DanZero77]

Even though these were classic bumpers that lasted well through the rest of the 80s, I still missed the older ones that I grew up with, but it is interesting to see the transition to just "Channel 11", keeping the "11 Alive" moniker for just one more year.

[@xavierramos1270]

Ragu? Oh they’ll know alright! Thanks for uploading! This was great.

[@gothsoul82]

i wanna see that movie again 10 to midnight that was a good movie next to death wishes

[@Qboro66]

@ 4:18 The Citrus Hill Select commercial jingle reminded me of the Pointer Sisters hit "He's so shy "

[@jpolar394]

Family games that you actually played without a computer. Children's toys that you actually used your hands to build. You don't see any of those commercials on the tube today. 😔😔😔😔😔😔

[@VideoArchiveGuy]

What about 3:48?

[@flex_007]

80s great tv and commercials.didnt need to change the channel.now I have hundreds of channels and always changing channels. 😕

[@waitforollie]

i loved that nestle song

[@Metlhd313]

Talk N Play! We had one of those at my daycare but i forgot what it was called until i saw this video!

80's had the best movies better than the movies today!!!!

[@crazysingingchick]

Wonderful Nostalgia for children of the 80's everywhere. @ 1:38 is that They Might Be Giants singing the ad jingle? I'm kidding, but it really wouldn't surprise me. I love them!!

[@tapthatt2012]

@wmbrown6---"At least we heard both Bill Biery and Ralph Lowenstein on this clip." yes. even with the changes going on around that time, it's great to still hear them. a connection to the past.

[@char-lee212]

Crazy Eddie lol

[@l0ufromdaBX]

Hello! This is a longship but does anyone remember a commercial promo for Saturday morning cartoons on WPIX that had the Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News as its theme? I have been trying to find that FOREVER

[@75aces97]

I remember it, but don't know of any video available for it. It was for their weekday cartoon lineup, including Heathcliff, probably GI Joe. If I had to guess I'd say it was from 1986 or 87. It would be an interesting artifact to show people how much effort some independent stations put into some of their promos. Going by available videos, not many people appeared to tape weekday afternoon episodes of Voltron, et al.

[@tapthatt2012]

not strange at all. great movie. i watched it this past halloween. its on my ipod, too.

[@tapthatt2012]

"20-:35 - You'll be missed, Mr. Stang... yes indeed.

[@crazysingingchick]

just watched more of the videos... the Crazy Eddie's thing... I didn't know that was a real thing until recently, but I had one of those awesome tee shirts which I found at a Dollar Store when I was about 14. I wore it all the time!! I wonder if I still have it. Also, the Nestle ad... what the??? I always felt uncomfortable when that aired while my parents were in the room with me. Now that I hear 1:38 again, I wonder if instead of TMBG, it's Devo, or at least Mark Mothersbaugh. He would!! :)

[@75aces97]

Yep. It was real. Crazy Eddie Antar ended up fleeing the country with money socked away in a Swiss account when the store went under.

[@snappy452]

I wish I had an electronic talk n' play.....

[@wmbrown6]

@classicphile - Certainly the station's ratings were on a downward slope, until Michael Eigner took over as general manager. At least we heard both Bill Biery and Ralph Lowenstein on this clip.

[@miguelperez-gb5kr]

[@Kingcire72x]

Still hate the exorcist but for the first time it didn't scare me so much

[@fromthesidelines]

Ah, good old Jerry "Crazy Eddie" Carroll at 2:28...the "Sweet Dreams" campaign proved once and for all that you could sell the "wrapper" more than the chocolate itself...Unilever eventually bought out J.H. Filbert's interest in "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter"; they market it today.

[@TheMeister31]

Can anyone help me think of some movies they played on Channel 11 in the 80's and 90's..Like someone wrote Tales from the Darkside and other Channel 11 movies they loved to play like Superman, Jaws, Batteries not included, The Great Outdoors, Heathers, Masters of the Universe, The Gate, Night of the Creeps..hahhaa yeaa I remember alot I guess, but I still wanna hear what anyone can think of.

[@75aces97]

They played a lot of Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson and other Cannon movies in those days. I wonder if they bought a bundle. A lot of Woody Allen films. They played the Planet of the Apes movies (although rarely the original one), Godzilla movies, Dirty Harry movies, Miracle on 34th, March of the Wooden Soldiers during the holiday. Caddyshack, Animal House, Blues Brothers, Marathon Man, 16 Candles, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the Sting. Yes, they did air Superman once it got past the age where the networks stopped airing it as a movie of the week. Movies like that were a special occasion thing they played during sweeps months, I guess. They had a syndicated feature called "Universal Feature Debut" for some films like Breakfast Club, Amadeus, Mass Appeal, where they went straight to indy stations like WPIX instead of the major networks. Others I can remember: Slap Shot, Ragtime, Cotton Club, Apocalypse Now, Altered States, Flash Gordon. Basically they played a lot of movies I liked. Also a lot of crap, but I choose to remember the good ones. 😁

Wgn 9 Chicago still had better promo,s on air and certainly better than wor tv during these years or pix

[@luisreyes1963]

That's your opinion. At least both WOR & WPIX doesn't look corporate run.
