Such a great slice of NYC TV in the 70s. The city was in rough straits back then but you wouldn't really notice it from the commercials. This is when the first generation of b-boys and MCs were just getting their games down.

A blast from the past. Love it!

WPIX! Good stuff from the 11 Alive period! After all, the man in the red hoodie from the first commercial represents most New Yorkers in the 70s, right? I used to love ads for business & technical schools in New York. Sorely missing from this set: An ad from Apex Tech, "Now I can't call you...." Don't ask me the language they were speaking in the Chap Stick ad. Ok I always saw those "Knockoff Muppets" every day on the New York version of Romper Room on WOR channel 9!

Mercy at all that shag carpeting around that spa tub. Yikes

I also LOVE seeing the ads for other shows, and your local (some so cheesy! LOL!) commercials, and people that weren't famous yet.

I remember when you could call WPIX and play a video game over the phone saying PIX and zapping something or another with the high def graphics of pong. God these were such good innocent times. I don't know if it was just because we were kids or they were honestly good times. Alls I know is I'd rather have memories of childhood over today's kids memories.....if they even know what fresh air and grass is....

6:08--OK, I'll admit it; I'd never heard of "Turkey in the Straw" when I was a kid. I thought that tune was called "Do Your Ears Hang Low"! Hardly anything that I recognized in this volume--mostly local commercials from New York, and I'm not from that part of the country--but it's interesting to see commercials that aired in different TV markets at that time.

Brooklyn magazine sounds like it DOES have it all!!!
