My grandmother shopped Winn Dixie. Their house brand was “Thrifty Maid”. Her entire pantry was TM canned pears to go with her cottage cheese for lunch. Ahhhh, Grandma. 😊
Thanks for another trip down commercial memory lane Fred. At 3:08, that's George Dzundza of Law & Order and Basic Instinct, and Stanley Tucci of Grease for Singer sewing machines, along with Debbie Reynolds.
Love it Fred. It's funny how much I was looking forward to cable TV. Eventually it became passe in favor of satellite, then that became passe. And how strange to see a correcting typewriter in the age of electronic text.
Your videos reopen so many memory files in my head, that haven't been opened in decades. What a great selling point, having Aldo Rey, Broderick Crawford and Jack Palance (three well known tough guys, who weren't sweet) sell Canada Dry. And I remember that ON commercial, because we didn't live in Oakland Co., so we couldn't get it (but not to worry, since cable came just a few years later). Thanks once again Fred!
K-Tel compilations was the only way to have a pretty decent playlist back then; Polaroid cameras for a most impatient mother (mine❗); Lou Brock, one of my brother's fav players. No, it's not too sweet. 🤭 Love this series, Fred. 💜🤟
At the age of 55 I’ve been from poleroid cameras with flash bulbs that would burn your hands to taking pictures on my phone. Lol Gotta love photobug in the parking lot of the local grocery store
I miss Winn Dixie. Those commercials were where I knew Jim Davis from. First time I saw him on "Dallas" I thought to myself, "It's the Winn Dixie cowboy!"
I ate off the child's menu at Sambo's many times in the mid to late 70s. I remember those picture panels above the counter that showed the story of Sambo and how he turned the tigers into butter. Or something like that.
Another nice job, Fred! 2:20 - from the issue of Sept. 30, 1978 3:40 - maybe the most famous unmarried couple from tv 5:08 - There used to be Winn-Dixies both in the TN city where I was a teen & the city where I live now, but it's hard to find one outside of FL now. 11:45 - That THREE'S COMPANY promo is so old (Episode is 1 of 6 from S1) it was still using the hummed theme song from the pilots. 13:33 - The announcer sounds like the great Dave Willock, actor & cartoon/ad voiceover.
Yes I remember Winn Dixie here in the Nashville are but also in western Oklahoma but nowhere else I can recall in the South, I remember when only in Florida could I find a Publix.
@@archstanton4365 The city where I lived was Hendersonville, just outside Davidson Co. I've been back there recently and noticed that there is a Publix there now, not far from where Winn-Dixie was.
@@jehobden Oh yeah I'm well acquainted with Sumner county, I used to live in Goodlettesville on the Metro/Sumner line. Yeah we got Publix all the way down in the Boro too, I'm glad too cause that's only place around here to get a ready made Cuban sandwich!
I was expecting to see my favorite commercial for Monster Vitamins with Vincent Price as the spokesman in it. I loved that commercial, and I had a crush on Vincent Price at the same time, from late 1973 to mid-1978.
Lol "Sambos", it's parent company also owned Denny's, I had a game similar to the "Digital Derby" electronic game, but it was an aircraft fighter type. Thanks, you mAD man Fred, nice trip down yesteryear lane. 👍
Always look forward to your vids coming across my feed. Those K-tel and the Ronco albums were nice, but 1 drawback. They shortened the songs more than the on-air versions the radio played. You never payed attention to the amount of songs on a record until you started listening and realized how much they were shortened. No wonder they fit 16, 18, or 20 songs on 1 record...P.S. Being Canadian I loved the Canada Dry commercial. Jack Palance..... another favorite actor
The BBC TV Newsreader mentioned in the TV Guide commercial is, I believe, Angela Rippon. I would guess it was her appearance on the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Special around 76-77 when she danced in a split skirt evening dress is what thread was referring to. I’ve seen that skit many times. It’s quite funny, and she is indeed very sexy. In the 1980’s she work for a TV station in Boston, MA for a short while before returning to the UK.
I love these ads because it's before my time. I wasn't born until the 70s. Didn't have a Sambos in my area. Looked like good food. But that name would be racist now.
Yeah. I recently saw a menu online from the 1970's Kentucky Fried Chicken. To see just how much Chicken and Sides one could buy for $20, was head shaking. No wonder why my mom chose that for Family Picnics. Today, That "Family" would be 2 People maximum.🤦🏻♀️
Thanks Fred
The Polaroid commercials w/ James Garner and Mariette Hartley were so well done people thought they were actually married.
And they couldn't Google to verify.
Those stick well in my memory.. loved Jim Rockford...
I love this channel. Brings back such fantastic memories. Thank you Fred. God bless you and your family and your channel. 💟✝️
Much appreciated, Ralph.
Good Heavens, Fred... this is TRULY one of your ALL-TIME BEST videos YET!! What a treasure trove of great memories!!!!
Much appreciated, Nunetc.
My grandmother shopped Winn Dixie. Their house brand was “Thrifty Maid”. Her entire pantry was TM canned pears to go with her cottage cheese for lunch. Ahhhh, Grandma. 😊
Really miss the 70s. Everything was good then. Thanks for the viewing pleasure. 👍
You're welcome, Mark.
I agree🤝🏻
Oh Fred thank you so much for this fun look back!!! I appreciate all the work that you put in to bring us these videos 😊
Thank you very much, Bridget.
1976-79, my golden years!
Thanks for another trip down commercial memory lane Fred. At 3:08, that's George Dzundza of Law & Order and Basic Instinct, and Stanley Tucci of Grease for Singer sewing machines, along with Debbie Reynolds.
Debbie...who???
@@FredFlixYeah. Wonder whatever became of her? She was pretty, and I understand she could sing and dance a bit too...
George was also in ..."Deer Hunter"...
Love it Fred. It's funny how much I was looking forward to cable TV. Eventually it became passe in favor of satellite, then that became passe. And how strange to see a correcting typewriter in the age of electronic text.
We're living in the future, Robert...but I prefer the past!
Seems like ktel owned EVERYTHING 😂
And in the 1970's, pretty much Everyone owned Everything KTel made.😉😂😂
K Tel and Ronco controlled the market.😁
Fred you are DY-NO-MITE!! Thanks man, thanks for keeping these times alive! 🎉🎉🎉😊
Good times, Doug!
I had to laugh at the law enforcement claiming a 98 percent conviction rate! LoL! Great video Fred!❤
They need to strap themselves to their own lie detectors, Chantelle.
Now it's more like a 2%conviction rate.
Maybe Future Cop was behind it? 😂
@@FredFlix tis true, however the only results the public would get would be "no comment"! LOL!
Another great one Fred. There were a few I haven’t thought of since the 70’s. Thank you so much!
You're welcome, Dave.

beautiful memories of yesterday, thank you!😎💖💯🤍👍!
You're welcome, Frank.
I’ve said this before but getting a FredFix is like an unexpected check in the mail
WOW! The IBM Correcting Selectric Typewriter. Yes I remember that machine.
These reflections are a wonderful way to end a very long day! Thanks Fred!😃

Much appreciated, Steve.
It definitely had a similar look to Dennys with gigi style. Bob's Big Boy was also in line with this model.
There my absolute faves.
Fred, thank you so much…. You do much work to bring these to us, we APPRECIATE IT! And course the voice over by JBT ! Remember THAT voice?
When? Who?
@@FredFlix John Bartholomew Tucker did a morning tv show (NY or national) and could be heard on voice overs all the time.
@@davidbaise5137 I remember him from Candid Camera as well.

Not a dud in this bunch, Fred. Great job!
Thanks, Herb.
Thanks for the memories😊
You're welcome, l j.
Wonderful amazing Fred I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving thank you
I appreciate that, friend Brenda. I hope you as well are having a good holiday weekend.
@@FredFlix you're most welcome my friend Fred thank you so much
I love these 70’s clips!
Thanks Fred 👍
You're welcome, sonnytoo.
Great stuff Fred, as usual. I love your channel
Thank you, Wayfarer.
Polaroid, Kodak, and Fotomat... back when people took pictures and actually looked at them again.
Sentimental 👍📺🇺🇸
Great memories Fred…I remember 60% of them…but they say, if you remember the 70s, then you didn’t live them..
😵💫🥴
Good point, Dennis.
I had the Digital Derby game back then and actually still have it.
An interesting look at 70's commericals. And I nearly forgot that goofy ad for the Mr. Mouth game. 😂
Thanks, FredFlix.
You're welcome, Luis.
Wow a totally different plot on that threes company episode!

George Burns is an American treasure
Damn I want that ktell record!
Devil Dog Hound of Hell. Very cool movie.
R.I.P. Adam Rich☹💔
Another great nostalgic collection Fred. Never heard of Mr. Mouth, almost sounds fake or made up.
Thanks, gittes.
Things were so much better in the pre-woke era. 😊
These must of been good, because I still remember most of them. 📺
Probably for the best that “Sambo’s” was retired as a name.
Good ol' Thieving Lou!
jim davis for winn dixie.
4 tires for $98 bucks.....wow!
Back then, though, that was a week's take home pay for some people.
Wish I could get four tires for 86 dollars
🙏🤔
I love these ads because it's before my time. I wasn't born until the 70s. Didn't have a Sambos in my area. Looked like good food. But that name would be racist now.
It was racist then but people let things go.
Good times 🥴

KFC was a big day for me in the 60's, it still is, 8pc bucket $30+, yikes.
Yeah. I recently saw a menu online from the 1970's Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Well with the way hamburger prices are going..
Not too sweet loved that one

Sambos was a great restaurant. Too bad it was killed off by political correctness.
