These commercials aired on NBC on December 22nd, 1978
1. Crazy Eddie (Partial, even though it's just a few seconds it's neat to post a Crazy Eddie ad from the 70's!)
2. King Tut? (Most likely about the traveling "Treasures Of Tutankhamen" exhibition: en.wikipedia.o... that inspired Steve Martin’s “King Tut”)
3. Texaco (These aired during "Bob Hope's All Star Christmas Special", sponsored by Texaco)
4. "The Bob Hope All Star Christmas Special" Promotional Bumper
5. Texaco Havoline Super Premium (With race car driver Janet Guthrie)
6. Dristan
7. Primatene Mist and Tablets
8. Promo for "Christmas Miracle In Caufield, U.S.A." (This movie was a repeat from 1977. This was just about a month before Kurt Russell starred in the TV biopic "Elvis" in 1979 on ABC which ended his post-Disney career slump and also started his long collaboration with director John Carpenter)
9. Texaco Havoline Super Premium
10. "The Bob Hope All Star Christmas Special" Promotional Bumper
11. Texaco
12. "The Bob Hope All Star Christmas Special" Commercial Bumper

19. Texaco
20. "The Bob Hope All Star Christmas Special" Promotional Bumper
21. Texaco Havoline Super Premium
22. "The Bob Hope All Star Christmas Special" Ending (What he says here feels very relevant for today. I can actually sense that he's holding back some genuine emotions around 7:55 which is kind of rare considering Hope's wisecracking TV persona)
23. Texaco and Dristan Sponsorship Plugs
24. "The Bob Hope All Star Christmas Special" End Credits
25. Red Cross PSA
26. Promo for "AFC Playoff"
27. NBC News Update

b. Italian airliner crashes in ocean (They crashed thinking they were closer to the runaway than they were, 21 of the 129 passengers survived)
c. Jim Jones/Jonestown (Whatever this ruling was it was wrong, he committed suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot)
d. Consumer Prices up 0.5%
28. Geritol (The end appears to have been cut off by the station)
29. Promo for "The Stingiest Man In Town" (An ok animated adaptation but it's a shame Walter Matthau never played Scrooge in live action with Jack Lemmon as Marley's ghost)

32. TV Spot for "Brass Target"
