Witness the irony of Rod Serling narrating a PSA for mobile cardiac care only to die the next year of a series of massive heart attacks likely owing to his 3-4 pack a day cig habit.
Great find. Thanks for posting!. 1: 14 According to the Wikipedia page for Patricia Neal, her marriage to Roald Dahl ended due to a longtime affair her husband had with a woman he first met when she was a set designer for … wait for it! … a Maxim coffee commercial.
OK, that's spooky. I never saw it before but now that you say it, yeah. Especially right at the part when James folded his arms and began to speak- he sounded VERY much like Adam. There's gotta be some kind of shared DNA there.
Definitely not Peter Boyle. It's one of those "that guy" actors to be sure, I remember his face from soaps, sitcoms, and ads, but stuck on a name. But look carefully, he's way slimmer than Boyle ever was.
The man who looks a lot like Peter Boyle (I thought the same thing at first) is Stanley Brock. Google is amazing. I remembered him from an episode of Night Court, I Googled "Night Court Happy New Year" and it found the episode and the cast. Stanley did a lot of films and television- one of those character actors who was busier than the leading stars he appeared with.
9:17 Edmund Gilbert & Rod Serling for ACT Foundation. The irony being that one year later Rod Serling had a fatal heart attack on the operating room table during open-heart surgery.
Before Reagan killed most of the FCC regulations, TV stations were required to air a certain amount of PSAs, as a condition of keeping their broadcasting license.
Patricia Neal 1:14 suffered three burst cerebral aneurysms while pregnant in 1965 and was in a coma for three weeks. I didn't think that she ever recovered 100%, but I don't see any of the effects of the stroke here in 1974.
@@micmac99 I think the first time I ever saw her was when she played the original Olivia Walton on the Xmas TV special 'The Homecoming". It was the TV special that became the TV series The Walton's, made back in 1971.
At the 1:07 mark, the 5:10 mark and the 9:10 mark: I'm guessing these NBC show promos are where announcers from local NBC affiliates do the voiceover to close the promo. In other words, these are localized versions of NBC show promos.
I think he was an NBC announcer. I remember hearing that voice and it was on a lot of the NBC promos from that time. I wish I knew his name, but I don't think he was a local announcer.

I love the RIF commerical.I always take my grandson to the library
Wow, what nostalgia, I haven't seen that RIF ad in years.
That girl scout commercial brings back memories of when I was a girl scout.
I turned 8 in 1974 😂.
And I turned 12.
0:45/8:16- Norman Rose, announcer
1:45- Dennis Allen
3:15- Alvy Moore
6:16- Dick Van Dyke, announcer
9:17- Rod Serling, announcer
Hearing Norman Rose brings back so many memories.

Thanks what a nice video from a magical time.
Thank You For Your Dedication To Film Preservation, From A Child Of '74!!

I thought the same thing!
Probably ran during The Midnight Special due to the numerous PSAs (which normally run after hours).

1:45 Dennis Allen for Gaine's Prime Variety
Thanks. I knew he looked very familiar.
Rod Sterling narrates a commercial about heart attacks and dies from one the very next year.
Is It Me, Or Don't James Caan & Adam Sandler Have The Same Mannerisms?!?😂

Emergency! Saturday Nights In Color at 8/7 Central Time!
10:18 - AAA - Peter Boyle as Harry the drunk.
That same year, he did Young Frankenstein.
Not Peter Boyle

This is wild. Faultless and Magic pre wash spray. Did those come out before Shout? I just remembered spray n wash came out much earlier.
But after Spray & Wash...

Presumably this was in the same program as the EMERGENCY! promo, so the subconscious already has the notion to get more Gages and Desotos out there...
Rick, find Rex Humbard telecast from the 1970s to the 1980s, please!
I find it interesting that most of these are PSA's.
Before Reagan killed most of the FCC regulations, TV stations were required to air a certain amount of PSAs, as a condition of keeping their broadcasting license.
Guessing its from late night, probably the Tomorrow Show.
3:20 Alvy Moore for United States Savings Bonds
What a maroon. 😆
Hank Agent, your County Kimball
I'm speaking for, uhh, what is it I'm doing this ad for?
Thanks. One of the most blase drunk driving ads I've seen.
You still cannot deinterlace correctly. Not the best advertisement of your service.
It looks great to me.
Perhaps not, but to most people it's not noticeable. Rick is also making content available that would otherwise be lost.
Is RIF still around? 📚
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@fromthesidelinesBut sadly, nor Leslie Nielsen (that IS him on the v/o, correct?)
Maybe. 🙂
