I just watched this version of A Christmas Carol last night. What a treat to watch these today. Merry Christmas everyone!

The phone you're watching this RU-vid video is more powerful than everything shown in these commercials!

Hey, at (2:20) the actor/comedian Robert Townsend as "Eddie" the guy in IBM commercial LOL He starred in his own The WB sitcom called The Parent 'Hood" that aired for 4 or 5 seasons in the mid-90s and he is also widely known for the 'hood classic flick "The Five Heartbeats" and "Hollywood Shuffle"!

The child actor in the kid ad is Scott Grimes. He made a career in the 80's of playing the "nerdy looking, but so self-assured that he's cool" kid in series like "Who's The Boss" and "Charles In Charge."

Love that huge floppy disk at 12:18!

@miketroncin749 8 лет назад

The 8" floppy I remember my dads work actually used the kind before the protective jacket... The were like super thin records...

This was the only time I remember seeing one company do all the ads in a show

Clearly you've never seen a "Hallmark Hall of Fame" before.

All these IBM commercials make me want to go out and buy......a mac.

@rickywaugh5297 8 лет назад

I've seen so many different versions of "A Christmas Carol" on several TV shows but I've never seen the original.

@80sCommercialVault 8 лет назад

+Ricky Waugh This '84 TV movie definitely would not be the "original". The first film adaptation was made in 1901.

@jtb811 7 лет назад

They actually did this another year for this version of "Christmas Carol" featuring all "M.A.S.H." actors shilling IBM products. I used to have it on tape.

@gaialanzer81 8 лет назад

Is that Eric Troyer singing the IBM Typewriter song? Sounds like him.

those old guys that think Santa is real LOL

80sCommercialsVol.IBM! In the 80s, IBM would buy all the advertising time for many shows, so this isn't unusual.

@80sCommercialVault 8 лет назад

I think they had a hand in producing the George C. Scott version of "A Christmas Carol" and had exclusive advertising rights. It premiered a year before this airing with IBM sponsorship as well.

@TTrigg 8 лет назад

Wow..not a movie trailer in sight lol.. i guess this was the first example of a broadcast having "limited commercial interruption"

@80sCommercialVault 8 лет назад

This wasn't even the first time they had done it with this movie, as it premiered in '84 with the same corporate sponsor. They've had "Limited Commercial Interruption" for special event type programs since the 60's. An example I can think of is the Rod Serling scripted "A Carol for Another Christmas" in 1964, where Xerox paid to air it without commercials. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Carol_for_Another_Christmas#Production

Oh no, the invention of spell check! Making people bad self editors since 1985!

@DreamDancer82 8 лет назад

Ever work for IBM? It's like working for Big Brother!

@miketroncin749 8 лет назад

Apple made a commercial expressing that exact sentiment

@neptunemorales5292 6 лет назад

Isn't IBM just great?

@Boomska316 8 лет назад

I wonder if any company today would have the guts to make a commercial touting automation as a good thing. I've always heard that this version of "A Christmas Carol" was the best movie version, but I've never seen it. Anyone know if it's good or not?

@80sCommercialVault 8 лет назад

+Boomska316 It's definitely one of the better ones, and George C. Scott is always fun. But the 1951 British version "Scrooge" with Alister Sim is typically regarded as the best, most faithful version.

@Boomska316 8 лет назад

Is that the black and white one?

@80sCommercialVault 8 лет назад

+Boomska316 Yes, it's in black and white. But there are two black and white versions I know of off the top of my head, the 1938 MGM version with Reginald Owen and the 1951 British version.
