NBC commercials from July 29, 1978

From a rerun of Saturday Night Live. Aired over WNBC-TV in NYC.
Happy 4th of July everyone! Consider this a 4th of July present from me to you! Meet my new earliest 1st-generation VHS recording by about a year-and-a-half. This came from the same eBay lot as those CBS commercials from September 1978 that I posted a few days ago.
So, for a little backstory, these tapes came from an estate sale in Pensacola, FL, which after thinking about it, makes a lot of sense. Lots of New Yorker's move to Florida when they retire from their job, and the original recorder definitely had a ritzy job to afford blank tapes back in 1978!
There is in fact another SNL recording from the week after on this exact tape, so expect another set of commercial breaks within the next day or so! Enjoy, y'all!
