00:24 - Sugar Crisp - Ruth Buzzi as Granny Goodwitch, and Gerry Matthews as Sugar Bear. The characters were originally in an animated series called "Linus the Lionhearted", produced by General Foods, to promote its Post-brand children's cereals. The commercials were integrated (part of the show), and all of the characters were mascots for Post cereals. It took many complaints from parents and child educational experts, that children couldn't tell the difference between a show and its commercials, to convince the FTC to ban integrated commercials from children's shows in 1969. Since all of the characters were Post cereal mascots, the series was quickly cancelled. In the 1980s, when the Reagan Administration struck down regulations limiting advertising time on TV, children's TV became a free-for-all, with Hasbro and other companies producing animated series around their toys. These series were just half-hour commercials, without overtly telling kids to ask their parents to buy the products.
Too Bad, even with Linus as still as part of the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, LtL was too cool for network then to be rerun.l>Sheldon Leonard starring as Linus
Standard was west of Ohio--in the East Coast, it was American. Also, before there was Exxon, there was Esso and Enco, in different parts of the country.
12:36 George Gobel sells us milk. 27:25 Taylor Grant for TV Guide. 28:58 The most politically incorrect commercial ever. ;) 35:38 The obligatory voice-over by Peter Thomas. 38:04 The Minister of Silly Walks. 54:17 The 60s were wacky! 39:09 Joe Namath had it going on.
That TV Guide article featured the first ever home video equipment. Also, the 2 nimrods in the Post cereal ads are Loveable Truly (Alpha-Bits) & So-Hi (Rice Krinkles).
Celebs doing PSAs in this video: Richard Widmark, Max Baer, Jr., Julie Andrews,
The Flintstones, Jerry Lewis, Jack Benny and Lassie.

47:20 -,Don Addams "Get Smart"
I knew about Don Adams before he did 'Get Smart'--he was on 'The B ill Dana Show'.
Awesome collection!
Standard was west of Ohio--in the East Coast, it was American. Also, before there was Exxon, there was Esso and Enco, in different parts of the country.
The first Great Shakes commercial was filmed on the set of Bewitched (staircase and fireplace at 26:17). Loved Great Shakes as a toddler.
Only barely remember it,and I was a kid all thru the decade.
I think The Tokens also sang the Great Shakes jingle
Cool stuff thanks for sharing.
I like the Olivetti typewriter commercial
seems every one is from 1967...cool
Cant get enough of that sugar crisp
