rstyeast73, I was 8 years old, and couldn’t push a manual wheelchair and couldn’t use the knobs to change the channels on a TV because I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta (ex. Alex and Caleb from the Shriner’s commercials); so, I learned to tolerate a lot of shows (ex. Sci-fi, western, certain sports), but enjoyed the commercials.
10:42 The Radio Shack 150-in-1 Electronic Project Kit was one of the best Christmas presents I ever received! I'm not sure what year it was, but it would have been right around 1979 or so when I was 9 years old. I spent more time playing with that thing, building circuits and learning about electronics.
0:29 - Nowadays most people refer to their microwave oven as a popcorn machine...And we have NYPD Chief Frank Reagan for Close-Up toothpaste...Charlie Hustle and Ralph Furley for the Atari 2600...Regrettably, I don't know the names of the three beautiful women in the Tickle antiperspirant ad, but I do know they each were in lots of TV commercials in the late '70s and early '80s...I could be wrong, but I'm getting a serious "Up with People" vibe from those Young Detroiters...
I have the 52 minute version of this episode (from WNBC Channel 4 in New York) with the original commercials I really wish I had this version I had it on tape years ago but I no longer have it!!!!
Whoever came up with the Coke commercial was brilliant. That's such a great image of random people taking a Coke and passing one along to someone else to share. Honestly, this is the whole Peace and Brotherhood thing, but not anywhere as sentimental and corny as a lot of other commercials would have sold it.
I tell you what, that beach boys best of album and the ronco hits collection album came in handy when you wated all the hits in one place together. Now, all you do these days is make a playlist on your device from a music service provider.
Classic Detroit commercials
Love these commercials from the 1970s. Please keep them coming.

Dude, I was too young to understand when Cert lady said I'll put another log on the fire.
Amélie Dubois (born July 6, 1979)

A rare commercial for a board game with Dick Van Dyke.
Ted Nugent before he became a MAGA crank.
Let me guess, from the newly renamed WDIV?
No the commercials are nothing but drug ads and beer commercials
They still had glorified ads to join the Navy & Army.
