Three Dog Night: "Celebrate! Celebrate! SuperStation TBS! CELEBRATE!"

I remember that song. Haven't heard it in a long time!

I've been looking for a full, clear version of that commercial. Is it in this video? Can't find it. Is it anywhere else on youtube besides the blurry one on preview ch? Thanks

1:13:12 Funny how TBS was referenced in the ad, even though at the time it wasn’t operating as a cable channel in Atlanta, but as a broadcast station that so happened to serve as the superstation’s originating local feed.

Thanks for the cartoonish memories!

That Sparkles commercial (at 5:18) used the same typeface as on NWA World Championship Wrestling at the time.

Jammin Jets then...

[@danbrooks6780]

the impression I get from these ads is mostly... desperation. the ad insists "you'll LOVE EVERY ONE". it's a relentless optimism re:consumerism. compared to today's ads, well I cant quite put my finger on what the difference is. marketing has always been desperate, and always will be. but it seems more honest in this form.

why does it burn the eyes a little? and the background static sound gives me a headache and paranoia...

[@CaseyRoberson]

+SgtPerkins Good, the subliminal messages I put in are working.

Why did catchy jingles with people's real non auto-tune voice go out of style? It bothers me to no end.
