10:55 I love the sound of the papers ruffling after the announcer says "korvettes".

The Rutles: They created a legend that will last a lunchtime

Amazing cultural history. Thanks for the post.

Loving these old ads! Also interesting how the Rutles movie, which appeared in prime time earlier in 1978 (I watched it!) was now a late night movie selection.

Wow, early VHS in advertising! And yet, this was recorded on Beta.

VCRs were very expensive in those days- about $ 1,000 in 1978.

Great voice deconstruction on the Green Giant chicken chow mein.

There's the late Burgess Meredith in the Ray-O-Vac ad.

14:28- At the time this was telecast, Bob Van Buren was on top as Chairman of MidLantic Banks. However, after his company made a profit of $209 million in 1989, it *LOST* $109 million in 1990.......and he was forced to resign in 1991, after 15 years. In 1995, PNC Bank acquired MIdLantic.

Meanwhile, at WNBC on the live booth shift was Fred Facey on the "Donahue" promo, later to give way to Howard Reig. Actually, on NBC's movie shows, it was S.O.P. for their announcers to I.D. themselves at the end. It wasn't just Ms. Taylor; the network's other Burbank announcers, Don Stanley, Donald Rickles and Victor Bozeman (and in earlier years, the likes of Frank Barton and Eddy King) likewise did so when they handled the movie shows.

This is an odd question but would it be ok if I used this footage for something I’m working on? I’ll give you full credit for it. I fully understand if you’re not cool with it.

Those porcelains are beautiful i like
