Here's an extra long, 60 second camping themed commercial for McDonald's Restaurants featuring Ronald McDonald, purported carefree clown, running over Big Mac, the policeman and only source of law and order in all of McDonaldland. Also features Grimace and the Hamburgler, who declined to get involved. And a sentient three-wheel ATV.
Note: Ted Cassidy supplied the Voice of Officer Big Mac. He’s best known for his portrayal of Lurch on TV’s The Addams Family. (thanks to Facebook group "Filming In McDonaldland" for the info)
This aired on local Atlanta TV (or via cable) in April of 1978.
About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!
