I remember watching the Sports Illustrated commercials come on all the time, but wasn't into sports back then. Around this time I was more so into toys, Nintendo, and cartoons.
Chip Fields from the Spider-Man TV show is the mother of actress Kim Fields. She even appeared on The Facts of Life in a couple of episodes as Tootie's mom.
That Lender's Bagels commercial animation reminds me a lot of School House Rock and even a little Rankin Bass. Apparently, the only things from the Franklin Mint that have appreciated in value are things made of gold or silver. Stuff like dolls, knives, and probably these wooden animals or whatever have either remained the same price, or dropped a lot in value. Franklin Mint is still around, even though it filed for bankruptcy in the early 2000s.
oh i knows really sad though too i always wanted this adorable lil elephant they made has the cutest expression and wrinkly feet, just so cute my sister has this big grizzly bear they made in the early 80's also just too adorable for words
Spider-Man-i'd have liked to see how they wouldve realized Green Goblin and Doc Ock on the show Mauna Loa-R.I.P John"Higgins" Hillerman :( shame on CBS for making the character female in the upcoming Magnum P.I reboot Search-wish there had been a sequel Sundance-wine coolers without the wine lol Fats Domino-R.I.P :( (loved that shot of the enthusiastic audience member @ 7:35) Kung Fu-"We're gonna KILL that Chinaman!!!" A Night In Heaven-the husband should have caught a murder charge at the end
Wow, if I understand it correctly, that chess set costs $576 + tax. However, that's decent marketing to make it sound much cheaper by breaking it into monthly payments, plus patience if you want to wait 2 years and 8 months to collect the whole set. No wonder they suggest using a credit card if you want to buy the whole set at once ;-)
The costume on Japanese Spider-Man looks better but as far as the show goes the American version was way more faithful to the spirit of the comics (where Spider-Man does not routinely battle giant monsters). It's weird how neither costume could get his eyes right.
back in the 80's there were a lot of historian buffs who liked showing off their collections to everyone me as a kid had 4 neighbors that got that set and plus hearing them debate for hours on one single event or soldier or general end on end hehe and plus they were made from pure pewter that has that glowing metal shine to them, later on they made sets of classic trains from the franklin mint that looked amazing.
The best channel ever. darwin Gillette voice is so nostalgic if you were born and raised in the bay area.
These are from Sunday, 7/6/86. "The Chinese Web" aired at 4 PM.
Those Woodland Surprises are honestly very cute, but a total Grandma's House thing.
My HOME TOWN! These commercials mean extra to me today!
San Francisco!
Omg!!! I have been looking for this Sundance commercial for thirty plus years.

oh yeah I remember seeing the civil war chess set advertised back then... forgot they were sold piecemeal for 18 bucks!
I was obsessed with Sundance cranberry when I was a kid, I wish it would come back like New York seltzer did.
Nice to see Rob Morrow from "Northern Exposure" in the Sports Illustrated ad.

She also played the abusive mom of Janet Jackson's character on Good Times

RIP Fats Domino love blue Monday
I was beat to the mention of the Japanese counterpart to the Spider Man series!
This video has *3* people who died in 2017!
I guess it's a good thing I didn't post this *before* they died. That would have freaked me out.

oh i knows about the magnum p.i. thing just not the same without hillerman and i once had those honey mac nuts oh they are trully heavenly
I think most of the budget for that version of Spider-Man got spent on the theme music. Certainly didn't spend much on the costume.
hard to imagine him swinging from building to building in that show isn't it.

According to the CPI inflation calculator that set would be over $1200 today!
Spider-Man Theme Music.... Has that 70s Funk I remember...
boy is destroying that bass funky af
Is Lucky the same as modern Lucky's? The logo looks similar
Spider-Man sure has had an interesting TV history. If you want some fun, track down the old Japanese show where he fights giant monsters.

I don’t get it, why were Civil War chess sets so popular?!
I don't get why you would assume they were "so popular" based solely on this commercial.
back in the 80's there were a lot of historian buffs who liked showing off their collections to everyone me as a kid had 4 neighbors that got that set and plus hearing them debate for hours on one single event or soldier or general end on end hehe and plus they were made from pure pewter that has that glowing metal shine to them, later on they made sets of classic trains from the franklin mint that looked amazing.
80sCommercialVault, my dad had one (I don't know when he got it), and I've heard about several people owning them, so...
