1:11 This tune has been in my head for 49 years. I (and a handful of far-flung '70s kids) have been searching for a recording of it since at least 2000. I nearly joined a lost media subreddit to find it, but OVS saved me from searching through some dark rabbit holes in search of it. THANK YOU! 🎉 🥳 🥹
53:39 OMG!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! Someone posts the "Season's Greetings from CBS" interstitial from the '70s...the one I remember best from my childhood...don't get me wrong, the one from 1966 with the birds and the guy about to cut down the tree is a classic, but this is the one I remember seeing for years...THANK YOU!!!!
54:28 Young Frankenstein Movie trailer release date Dec 15 1974 This movie would later be used as inspiration for the band Aerosmith to use the Marty Fieldman line he says to Gene Wilder Walk this way. The "Song Walk this way" was recorded on the album Toys in the attic released in 1975.
59:35 News of Jack Benny's "near death" would place that section on 12/26/74. Word spread rapidly that day. During the first half-hour of the "The Tonight Show" that evening, NBC Los Angeles broke into the West Coast network feed to announce his passing.
In 1975, ABC attempted to do a morning show in "A.M. America", hoping to compete successfully with "Today" with NBC. It premiered on January 6 and Bill Beutel and Stephanie Edwards were hosts, but it didn't take with viewers until it was retooled as "Good Morning, America" in September.
That particular album was a two record set with full length versions of those songs. Every once in a while they'd release one like that. Their 1975 album Super Hits of the Superstars was another one containing full length songs.
You don't have to shorten the songs. But putting too many songs on an album seriously reduces sound quality cuz grooves crammed together like sardines in a matchbox.
There recordings were made by a private party using an EIAJ reel-to-reel video recorder. The master tapes that these recordings came from are now being housed at the UCLA Film and Television archive located in Santa Clarita, California
Adult I knew thought there's be a national outcry after bla*k guy moving his hips like that. I said there will not be, it's 1975 not 1955. But it was hard to tell about 'outcries' back then. I'm sure a lot of white families were upset over it. But '75 was about the time where you had to start holding your tongue about blac*s.
This was when my aunt & late uncle lived in La Mirada, CA. I visited SoCal for the first time as a 4-year old over the 4th of July Weekend, just a few months before these commercials aired.
@@Mr.Grinch510 do you know where Midcrest Dr. is located? I lived in a house on Midcrest Dr. from 1997-1999 while I was going to seminary at Biola University. Not far from Mulberry Dr.
My father bought a similar watch 7:50 in the early 1970’s for about $300 ($2,080.00 today). The value of these watches dropped so much that by the 1980’s I saw one as a prize in a gum ball machine.

@@Frip36That was Virginia Christine. She's best known for her role as Mrs. Olson for nearly 20 years in commercials for Folger's. Her character was supposed to be Swedish, I think. She was in a lot of B movies in the '40s and '50s, and in addition to her Folger's commercials she also had a recurring role as Mrs. Crandall, the lady who ran the boarding house on The Virginian during the '60s.
My earliest memories are dancing cigarettes commercials, as a toddler I'd pull myself up standing and be face to face with big glass ashtrays with smoldering cigarettes smoke wafting up my nose, no wonder I still smoke.
The "Max Hatter" is just hysterical...I don't remember anyone I know having one of those! And I never saw the commercial before! Thank goodness blow dryers came along and made it obsolete...and all I can say is the fact that this collection includes not one, but two, ads for Paul Anka's "You're Having My Baby" says all you need to know about 1974. "Irwin Allen's Winter Wonderland" at Marineland? I would've been terrified to go! I would've assumed it involved an avalanche and a broken ski lift from which you might plummet to your death!
The drummer isn't Buddy Rich, it's Louie Bellson. Different face, but he does seem to have a haircut similar to Buddy's here. Here's the two of them together on the show for a "drum battle" a few years earlier: th-cam.com/video/14IqlNe7Cjk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9xjwTuAfbKSSvULn

33:17 ktell album these albums had more songs but they were shorter versions
That particular album was a two record set with full length versions of those songs. Every once in a while they'd release one like that. Their 1975 album Super Hits of the Superstars was another one containing full length songs.
Most of these songs were hits a good 3-5 years earlier at the dawn of the 70s. By this time late 74 into 75, disco music was beginning to ramp up.
The DiFranco Family...Cringe. 🤢

Do the tapes these came from contain the entire Bills/Steelers playoff game from 1974, or is that one second of footage literally all there is?
If not the whole game, I hope somewhere out there someone has highlights from NBC's telecast. It would be a shame if this one second is all that survives of this broadcast.
