    God commercials were just storyboarded and executed so damn well during this era, almost like like "mini-movies".

    Battlestar Galactica, my favorite show back when I was kid. Hard to believe it only lasted 1 season. Thank you SCIF for the Reboot.

    "How did our Timex perform, Bobby?"
    "Oh, like a Tye-mex, eh!"
    The Timex ad with the gorilla was interesting..."Mongo like wristwatch...him suck on it for hours but it just taste like cheap cologne."

    The Sony BetaMax was $2,295.00 in 1977 (10,000.79 in today's money). WOW!

    I remember the Levi's ad. I thought it was nice that the engine had articulated Mallet (Malley) wheels with dual cylinders. It looks like it may have been taken from a Union Pacific "Big Boy" model.

    The only thing I remember about Lucan was the 2 hour pilot movie that was shown all the time on WCBS (locally) and TBS often! The series itself didn't last long.

    We talked about the Levi's train commercial, but I'm afraid this one isn't the one I saw. The one I saw would have been on TV in the early 80s. It was all CG of a train made of Levi's jeans rushing past a country house of some kind. I just remember seeing it when I was very young and it kept saying "Levi's Levi's Levi's Levi's" instead of making a train sound. It was weird, but if you ever come across it, I'd love to see it again. It would be nice to know I didn't just dream that. lol

    10:36 - gone are the days when you could feed an ape a watch to sell your product.
    I also challenge the statement that the ape put the watch on. His wrist is twice the size of a human.

    2:20--What ever happened to Selchow and Righter? We had their version of Parcheesi when I was growing up. If I recall correctly, they specialized in classic board games at that time.
    4:17--Pudding in the mix! Pillsbury just isn't what it used to be since it was purchased by General Mills.
    10:35--"It takes a licking and keeps on ticking" (Timex) and 11:39--"How does America spell relief? R-O-L-A-I-D-S!" Two of the most iconic advertising slogans from my youth.
    13:11--Back when Long John Silver's used "Seafood Shoppe" as part of their branding. There was something I liked about the way their buildings were designed back then, too.

    Eight Is Enough-what was going through Nicholas's mind..thankfully he came back at episode's end and did a little music number
    Lucan-a reboot would be interesting to see
    KMBC News-those three would feel right at home in a Anchorman movie
    Starsky & Hutch-woman talking to Hutch was Caren Kaye(of "My Tutor" fame)
    Pillsbury Plus-cakes so good you can eat them in slow motion
    Battlestar Galactica-good episode coming next,"The Living Legend"..preferred the original over the reboot version
    A Question Of Love-i guess that shot of the judge banging the gavel was used as a scene transition
    Vegas-he was running through the house and jumping in the pool while she was off getting drunk..

    This would have been the original "Battlestar Galactica" in its original run! It reran on Me TV a couple years ago as part of their Saturday night science fiction block, but I don't think it's currently on their schedule. I believe this rerun package also included the arguably inferior sequel, "Galactica 1980," but it all reran under the "Battlestar Galactica" banner.
