I love these old ads, I remember some of them. They remind me of a time long gone. The time of when I was a kid and a teenager and living with my parents. I miss those days.
4th of July of 74 I made my first trip to Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm with my family. I was four years old & my brother was 2. My aunt & uncle lived in La Mirada, CA at the time (just up the road from Biola University where I would attend 20-some years later). I would have seen all these ads on LA TV.
I love watching these ads again and remembering the way it used to be. In 1974 and 1975 I was going to the smallest school in the California school system, Allegheny. I wish I could go back there. Love from Marysville California
@ 31:03 “Wow, Dad! You got me a present? Is it the G.I. Joe with Kung Fu grip that I’ve always wanted?” “No, son. I got you this lovely Ozite Carpet hard-hat instead. Have fun with that.”
I found one that I bet a lot if people missed (including myself, the first time anyway): at the 1:00:08 mark, the little blonde haired girl in the Tender Vittles commercial is Missy Gold (Katie on Benson).
5:20 - Bill Cosby for Del Monte green beans. (He does another Del Monte ad, for tomato sauce, later in the video.) 6:24 - Jaclyn Smith for the 1975 Pontiac Le Mans. 11:13 - Cathy Rigby for the Florida grapefruit growers. 11:44 - Anita Bryant for Florida orange growers. 17:21 - Joe Ponazecki (Ralph of Sesame Street's Wally & Ralph) for Lavoris. 18:55 - Farrah Fawcett for Wella Balsam shampoo. 24:19 - Bart Starr for Lincoln-Mercury. 28:38 - Tommy Smothers for Del Monte canned pears.
28:23 Carlin Glynn, who played the mom in the movie "16 Candles." 57:14 The unmistakable voice of Joe Sirola. 5:59 & 8:56 John Erwin, another great voice-over talent.
@brentmann2988 I hope you will reply to this Carlin Glynn was the first Miss Mona in the musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas she recently passed away
