Oh man, Sammy Terry brings back memories. My brother and I would stay up late and watch those creepy old movies on there like Dr Phibes and Theatre of Blood. It freaked me out at the time, but I love it now. Channel 4 was a big part of our childhood. Thanks for the upload.
Omg this brings me back to when I was a kid watching channel 4. I grew up about 1 hour east of Indy. Ive remember channel 4 playing a lot of Sunday afternoon movies too. Gotta love Don’s guns and the Indiana celebrity Sammy Terry! Lol
Dimetapp- With sneezes from allergies that powerful, I would imagine that this man could be useful in the demolition section of the construction business.
Don's Guns! YES!!!!!!! Ok we got a Indianapolis legend to go with Sammy Terry!!!! Those 1-900 trivia lines were also advertised in New York with the same upside down answer reveals at the end the one I remember was "Motley Crue" as the answer!
I was almost 10 when these commercials aired and living in the Chicago area (still do), and I have NEVER heard of the Mike Ditka chewing gum incident. It's funny what controversies get lost over time.
Don's Guns?!! Okay, this guy looks like the love child of Kenny Rogers & Sam Kinison, and the guy that's playing a gun shaped guitar? Yeah, this commercial screams " Oh My God"!!!!
Emma: Queen Of The South Seas-Emmanuelle without the softcore..? Soap Info On Call-"Hey, you've been on the phone an awfully long time.." Don's Guns-loved the close-up of that Ruger Mini-14 9500 Party Line-in case the 7000 one is busy The Jimmy Swaggart Telecast-"..the following is a encore presentation.."
There’s something kind of amazing with the law firm commercial about intoxication coming right after the Don’s Guns commercial. Because I think you’d have to hammered out of your skull to participate in that mess of an advertisement of Don’s. Holy wow.
Regarding the Jimmy Swaggart ad, Jimmy had indeed returned to preaching by this point (apparently the Assemblies of God {the denomination he belonged to} for the state of Louisiana gave him a three-month suspension that was basically a slap on the wrist, and when the national denomination gave Jimmy a 2-year suspension Swaggart decided to abide by the state denomination's ruling. That led to the national Assemblies of God leadership {noting that Jimmy had called for the expulsion of fellow Louisiana pastor Marvin Gorman and PTL founder Jim Bakker once their adulterous liaisons were discovered} to decide to kick Swaggart out of the denomination)
1:45 - I would like to meet the person who recommended this for allergies. I imagine said person can’t get dressed in the morning without causing harm to themselves.
A 1992 ruling by the supreme court allowed a law passed by congress that effectively banned adult 900 numbers. So these numbers really only existed for a brief period in the late 80's/early 90's where they were ubiquitous on independent and cable TV, especially during late night programming. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premium-rate_telephone_number
The business got around that by just switching to 800-numbers apparently. I remember them still being around in the late 1990s. The trick was that they would add a separate phone service to a caller's phone bill that would continue billing.

I have no idea what La Bamba has to do with beauty school, but I love it.

Sammy Terry Indianapolis version of Svengooglie and Bill Kennedy.
Sammy Terry was created by Bob Carter in 1962 and predates both of those other shows.
Regarding the Jimmy Swaggart ad, Jimmy had indeed returned to preaching by this point (apparently the Assemblies of God {the denomination he belonged to} for the state of Louisiana gave him a three-month suspension that was basically a slap on the wrist, and when the national denomination gave Jimmy a 2-year suspension Swaggart decided to abide by the state denomination's ruling. That led to the national Assemblies of God leadership {noting that Jimmy had called for the expulsion of fellow Louisiana pastor Marvin Gorman and PTL founder Jim Bakker once their adulterous liaisons were discovered} to decide to kick Swaggart out of the denomination)
If it was a three month suspension stemming from an admission he made in late February 88, he would have still been suspended in early May.
Be all you can be... Someone needs to tell that beauty school that slogan is taken.

Ffs how did those 1-900 numbers last so much? What bonehead was calling them?
