At 0:45, WTF? Is that Regis? He was on TV forever, it seems!
Yes , Olivia Newton John was totally hot back in the day!👍👍👍👍
Trying to watch these classic commercials, and you-tube had the BALLS to interrupt it with a commercial!!!
I was watching this when it was on! I recorded the "Help!" movie onto audiocassette that night. I still have the cassette somewhere! Pretty weird to see this after 40+ years!
9:15 The whole movie is on TH-cam! Just type in key words "Bermuda Triangle 1978" and you'll find it.
I'm only 1min into the vid and damn, lol. $5.49 for that much at KFC, wow. Today that's like $20.
and Regis you look so young.
Oh man I wanted to try the Irish Mocha Mint *so* bad as a kid growing up! Something about that little can and mixing the powder to make something delicious just fascinated me.
LOL at that Vicks inhaler, 'it's chapstick you stick up your nose!' as my brother used to call it.
"Find yourself struggling through Sunday morning because you stayed up to watch the Saturday Night Movie? Try some of these coffee brands..."
I was 3 years old in this time. What awesome Times!
lol no 25 I remember using those things. Thanks for the memories!
Regis did a fantastic job on his various talk shows over the years!
Some of ABC's best announcers, Len Beardsley and Ernie Anderson, can be heard doing various promos for KABC!
Maybe the creators of Small Wonder watched that Thomas' English Muffins commercial a few too many times and decided "maybe that would be a good idea to make a series concept out of it".
8:03--A cup of Irish Mocha Mint sounds really good right about now! I know those International Coffees are still around (now branded as a Maxwell House product), but I haven't seen that flavor in ages.
It sounds like that lady is saying "Psycho 1" in that dog food commercial.
go Reege! also, shout out to Paul Williams, on the hollywood squares commercial! ( I have a little quirk, where I have to mention every time I see Paul Williams pop up somewhere
Good I was going to ask if that was him!!! His episode of Fantasy Island is my favorite!!!
Wow Regis was a looker 😍
It's obviously LA--- $5.69 for KFC was VERY expensive back in the 70s, at least where I'm from!
The local V/O's (including the bumpers for "The Saturday Night Movie") were by the late Len Beardsley.
1970-1979:The coffee wars
They drank a lot of coffee back then, didn't they?!
Well it would make perfect since. Its the same local affiliate to ABC, its a day before new years rockin eve 1979. They have the same commercials...except Dr. Pepper ofcourse.
Coffee must have been in huge competition, during the 70's, hahaha!
Did nobody own a coffeemaker back then? All that instant stuff blech
+mst3kanita Nope, I don't remember coffee makers appearing commonly until recently. I gotta go, I have movie sign.
I did notice that this volume seems to have an abundance of coffee commercials! I wonder what ever happened to the Maxim and Yuban brands?
Oh, I love these, even though I wasn't born until '83! I remember seeing Help! on TV during the holiday season when I was about 5 or so. During the scene where Paul shrinks, I asked my dad if that was the Beatle who had died (thinking in my young brain that he died from shrinking!) I went on to become quite the Beatlemaniac, and still am to this day.
Sure wish they'd show movies like that on a channel that I get with my wonderful rooftop antenna!
Wow, CW Post! I didn't realize they had a CW back in the day.
The cereal was named after the founder of the company.
He died in 1914 but it was his daughter who made General Foods what it ended up being. That was a successful company. Later General Foods was sold to Kraft, then Post was sold to another cereal company, and then Post went independent.. They still have their main factory in Battle Creek, Michigan.
6:21--I remember CW Post cereal when I was a kid. I recall liking it, but I haven't seen it in ages, unless it's now being marketed under a different name.
I'm not quite sure any of those things go with milk.
A whole lot of breakfast food ads for 11:30pm.
I miss these days so much!!
Nowadays there aren't any music album, new single commercials like the past. Sadly.
P/S: Thanks to iTunes, I now can find most of her song here.
7:33--Olivia was changing her musical direction a bit at that time, following her mid-1970's "country-pop" period.
Biggest disappointment as a child: my parents said they were going to KFC to pick up dinner. Naturally I was excited. Biscuits? Potatoes and Gravy? Three Bean Salad? And what did they bring back? POT PIES! I think I cried.
0:14--KFC had pot pies back then?
7:33
RIP Olivia Newton-John
1. What with all the coffee commericals
2. Carl Wethers... Has to be an Arrested Development joke some where in there
Perhaps all those coffee ads were intended to get the viewer to stock up on coffee to help them stay up for New Year's Eve. ;)
How many of the advertised items stI'll exist? Alpha Beta has been gone for years..
Force 10 from Navarone was a bad film. And to think it's supposed to be a sequel to the Guns of Navarone!
i most certainly remember Alan Hamil in the alpha beta commercials
Before he became his wife’s manager
On your word, you delivered on Wednesday. Thanks for the comment and these videos!
Thanks for posting. Many good memories. I noticed people spoke clearly and enunciated their words back then.
Alpha BETTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Another great set of commercials. I was wondering if you've got anymore from this decade. These looked like they were taken from a nearly clear videocassette.
I'm guessing they came from a copy of a network aircheck, there are quite a few of those from LA affiliates floating out there from this era and home video recorders were not very common in 1978. I did use quite a bit of noise reduction on these to remove static, but it had very good color considering the age.
congrat and thanks a lot! i love it
Wow, great quality, condition... on what recorder you recorded it?
LMFAO at the promo for The Long Ships!
That's strange. I don't remember this "Saturday Night Movie" at all, even though ABC was my favorite network at the time. I remember the late 1970s having the "ABC Saturday Night Movie." Did they quickly replace these bumpers with the twirling stars marquee because these graphics and music were so dull?

Vicks Inhaler! I haven't seen one of those in decades. Didn't realize they still made them. Thanks for reminding me. I'll get one this winter.
RoyKnable The "Saturday Night Movie" seen here was KABC's local programming, note the bumper at 0:13. This was before ABC had any late night programming.

Duh! I didn't even notice the card from the very beginning that said "11:30 tonight." Didn't even think "Help!" would be a little old to run as a prime time movie at the time.
About $5.49????
Milk with spaghetti?
Dee Wallace!
This is so fucking great. Really the 70s wasn't that long ago but it's a largely alien time period now.
RE: AM promo..that music sounds familiar..
It was most famously used in the intro to "Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous"
Bill Conti - Theme from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (Come With Me Now)
Every time I see a guy/girl I think is hot I have to stop and remind myself that they're probably 50 by now. :-(
Hey. I was 21 then. And look at me now. Or don't.
Yes, have a teenage girl in pigtails talk erotic about hotdogs & meatballs, ahh the 70's!
+mrkrinkle72 If that was "erotic", I'm afraid the issue lies with you lol
0:59 fuckin regis!
Nyquill was gross, cw post looks gross, what was Help! About?
