I can't believe I found this. I was 10 when I saw this for the first time. I thought it was a legitimate TV show and didn't even recognize that it was an advertisement.

Really? I watched the shows all the time when I was 10 years old and I knew right away it was just a long commercial.

When the kids say they are bored with all the devices they have I show them this and explain I watched this “show” over and over at least twice a week because it was literally the best thing on to me when I was 8-11 yrs old.

I used to stay up late just to watch this show!

I would watch Mike Levy every morning before I went to work.

WOW thanks for posting!! Used to love this “show”. RIP Mike Levey

HP 9000 computers rock.

OMG I found it! I watched Amazing Discoveries before school every day and this is the one I've always remembered!

This was the original! I've been looking for this video for ever. My college buddy and I loved to goof on Ian Long. They were like a Laurel and Hardy team.

If all those products really worked as promised, we might have flying cars today

I have a sneaking suspicion this product had limited functionality specifically with grease, ink, and iodine.

20:57 - It kind of looks like the spray application wasn't having the dramatic effect he was going for, so he quickly switched to using it straight from the tube. Good recovery

Also sold as "DIDI-7"

These infomercials were so entertaining

Thanks for this blast from the past

Ah, but before all of the "pitchmen" you named, there was Ron Popeil. Ron WAS the real "first pitchman. He found that selling on TV made sense (and cents +) long before the others.

I remember later when they reaired this one, they blurred out the names of the other products.

wat the heck was hp 9000? those chemicals had to be super dangerous

And i think to myself....what a wonderful woooorld

this must be an early show because he isn't wearing the sweater

HP 9000 is a way of life

Ian likes to clean (go) fast

The precursor of paid programs / infomercials... , this would come on very early on ( i swear ) every channel...

If i had a nickel for every time i got an iodine stain on my clothes.

Where's Mike's Cosby sweater?

Where’s his sweater??? This is just weird!
