16. Anacin- The way those medicine bottles are arranged in a circle at 4:49, it looks like they’re having a secret meeting, plotting world domination like a group of Evil Villains.
The traveling King Tut exhibit was currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in December 1978 so that could have been a promo for it, that was from WABC before the Bob Hope special on WNBC. But yeah that closing monologue hit me right in the feels too! Relevant nearly 45 years later!
Regarding the AFC wild-card promo, in addition to being a rematch of the November 20 Monday Night classic where Earl Campbell ran for 199 yards and 4 touchdowns; this was the first season after (among many changes in 1978 including expanding to a 16-game schedule and several rule changes to open up scoring) the playoff field expanded to 10 teams. Miami ended up managing to bottle up Campbell early (16 first half yards and 84 total) but ended up losing 17-9 thanks to Oilers quarterback Dan Pastorini throwing for 306 yards and a touchdown
0:42 and 2:34--Wow; I had forgotten that there was a female auto racing champion that far back. I looked up Janet Guthrie and found out that she was actually born in my home state of Iowa. 3:11--Even Texaco did its own take on the "tortoise and the hare" fable. 4:42--I remember the aspirin/pain reliever wars of the 70's very well. 5:43--Little House On the Prairie is rerunning on Cozi TV, a retro network available over the air in many parts of the country. 11:01--Another retro network, Antenna TV, is rerunning Tonight Show episodes from the Carson era, rebranded as just "Johnny Carson" since NBC owns (and still uses) the Tonight Show branding. 12:49--One of many great jingles used by Coca Cola over the years. I believe this one started out as a Coke jingle and was adapted into a pop song. Usually it's the other way around.

That Texaco commercial with the owl, rabbit and turtle must have had some great outtakes. Very well trained animals, I have to admit.

Crazy Eddie is a blessing

I will always love that Coca Cola commercial. Nice to see Janet Guthrie whose name I knew but had never seen.
5:26 - Looks like John might be a stalker off the court…
I didn't know that before Danica Patrick there was Janet Guthrie
