    Buying our record albums at Korvettes was the norm for us teens and young adults back in the 1970's. Buying our clothes at Gimbels was also quite popular, although we needed a job that paid a salary that could afford us that luxury, as their clothing and shoes were a bit on the expensive (for that time) side. Ran up quite a hefty charge account there!

    I was in grade nine (Canada) at that time. We saw SNL or NBC Saturday Night via WDAZ which was at that time the NBC affiliate in Grand Forks, ND. The PSA’s they ran late at night were the ones produced by The Ad Council or the US government. Still can’t believe all the money spent in that era on commercials that tried to make instant coffee sound enjoyable.

    I remember that Kaopectate commercial like it was yesterday. The clip from the old silent movie was made by the American Biograph studio. There was a picture frame with the studio's "AB" logo, the first example of a bug telling you that you were watching an American Biograph movie. They tried to sneak the "AB" into every scene.

    • @fromthesidelines
      @fromthesidelines 6 років тому +3

      In those days, there were unscrupulous independent movie producers who often produced their own versions of certain films in order to be the first to release them to theaters. To combat this, some companies like American Biograph often sneaked their logo into the scenery to establish they were the ONE AND ONLY studio who originated the film you were watching. Stricter copyright laws later enforced and established ownership of those films.

    The Fall of 1975 was a disaster for the 3 networks.....they were cancelling shows QUICKLY because of changes in the Nielsen ratings system, and shuffling shows to different nights/times...even TV Guide had a hard time keeping up with it! This was also the time when viewers had it with networks...just 2 years later, TV networks started losing viewers, and every year since 1977 they have lost viewers!

I wish someone would find a way to put all them on archive org or something so people could make ultimate edits. That's not the dumbest thing he did though; he cut a full fake ad out of the Rob Reiner episode for no real reason yet it pops up in a season 2 episode. So odd.
