Bad and good spots from the 60s

- Here are commercials from the late 60s early 70s. Some are bad, some are good. All are played back from my VR-1200B quad VTR. Enjoy the Glen Campbell promo at the end of the reel. Notice how good it looks. Network video quality was very good then.
I am seriously impressed by the picture quality. Most of the examples we get to see of non-current commercials are from dubs of dubs of dubs, home recordings riddled with tracking, or beat-up and faded prints on film chains of questionable quality. This is a revelation in comparison.
What a great trip down retro lane - thanks for sharing these. And like others have said, what great quality. I'm surprised the source material held up all that time.
I enjoyed these! I love classic tv. But that Bob's commercial was kinda weird. But for 19 cent hamburgers, I'd dive over there too lol.
I like hearing the "click" each time the light came on for each car when the young lady was explaining.
Thanks for posting these great ads, what fun they had back then!
Awesome to see all this stuff and especially the clips from the Eugene area!😎
According to IMDb, the guest lineup of "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" that was being promoted was for Jan. 11, 1970.
Yes. It always leaves me with a sinking feeling when I see those old car ad prices.
Yes, the quality on some video was outstanding. Especially the network stuff. The tape even looks better than the UA-cam version since it is not compressed.
"The 1970s are HERE!" :^)
These ads rock!!! Infact, they're a lot better (funnier!) than most of the current crappy ads on TV. Is it just me or does that annoying chick appear in several local ads from her hometown?
Thanks! Time travel is fun.
Local ads everywhere were this way.
That local station must have still had old RCA TK cameras in 1969. Some of those local spots look like the old clips of NBC color shows from the late 50s-early-mid-60s.
Yes, local commercials usually used a spokesperson to pitch the products. Pacing was quite different.
The 1970 Fords with go-go accompaniment: Excellent. The hand-lettered Ford logo in the background: Not so excellent. Amateurish, in fact.
The woman in the last commercial was wearing hot pants - or something close to that.
Yeah, local commercials back in the day could be charmingly low-budget. Or notoriously low-budget, you could say. The people who did them became celebrities in their hometowns, and the slogans that they repeated (again and again) became comedy catchphrases there too.
Yes, the high end commercials were done on film. Made them look better.
In the 70's EVERYONE was on Valium!
1970 was also the last year that cigarette commercials were on the air. They were all yanked off the air by Congress on January 1, 1971.
Of course in 1970, I was only 13 then. During the 70's, I went from schoolgirl to working girl.
Given what was said about the Glen Campbell promo coming from a West Coast feed, which of KNXT's (now KCBS-TV) announcers mentioned which time it was on? (If the feed originated from New York, you would have heard afterwards: "...tonight at 9, 8 Central and Mountain, on CBS.")
These are great! I assume they're from KVAL? Nice transfer from the quad tapes. Keep it alive, because soon, when only 3 or 4 companies own all the TeeVee stations in the country (like they've been allowed to with radio) we won't have any more of this. Thanks.
1788 for a Toyota corolla QUICK someone send me back to 1970.
I would be surprised if the glen campbell promo didn't look good.....it was taped at CBS Television City!
2" quad tape was stiffer and thicker than other tapes. It had to stand up to a lot of pressure and heat from the spinning heads at 14,400 RPMs. That could account for the longevity.
I think so too, Michael Sheldon Reed, although by the end of the decade there were beginning to be new low end (IVC, Cohu) color cameras that made images sort of like that, too.
@elc1960 - Caterina Valente is still around, as of this writing (she turned 80 on Jan. 14, 2011).
@wmbrown6 If I'm not mistaken, all three of Glen's guests on that show are now deceased. Not sure about the woman, but I know for a fact that Roger Miller & Henry Gibson are.
@wmbrown6 Thanks for the info, dude!
Looks like the "national" product commercials were shot on film and then transferred to tape?
I love the bad chroma key at 5:49! LOL!
am74343 ~ 5:49
Is it me, or is the broad in the Kendall Ford/Wards/Vic Alfonzo ads the same woman? Who was she?
4:40 for Bob's
Looks great to me, got anymore? lol
Cool! Do you have any more of these tapes that you plan to upload later?
No, no more TV shows.
The most unenthusiastic gogo dancing I've ever seen! Come on it's 1970! :)
