      WFLD had Ma & Pa Kettle and Bowery Boy movies in the mix, too. Saturday and Sunday, too. Once or twice, WGN would show anime features, which was REALLY cutting edge in the late 70s.

    Very nice spot about Topper's Dancing Dawn. Dawn was Topper's answer to Barbie. Topper Toys went bankrupt in the fall of 1971,
    when some exec was fudging numbers with the Federal Trade
    Commission. The company died in 1974.

      Their bankruptcy and being charged with business fraud forced them to drop the Johnny Lightning 1:64 diecast models (though the name would later be bought by Praying Mantis who would reissue the original models and introduce some new ones). The company was actually gone by '73.

    Pine Bros Cough Drops' active ingredients were glycerine and "syrup of acacia", also called "gum acacia" or "gum arabic". It's a thick, gummy sap that comes from two kinds of trees in Africa or the Middle East, and has been used in medicine, India ink, glues, and cooking, for more than a thousand years.

    For some reason the commercials shot on film seem more “official” than the ones shot on videotape. The ones on videotape feel like they only aired locally while the ones shot on film have a more “National” professional look.

    At 2:52, interesting that Chicago was still using telephone exchanges (PO7-6900) as late as 1971. Minneapolis (where I'm from) switched to all numbers by 1967 at least.

      Many businesses continued to use the 2L+5N format after the phone companies officially switched to 7N.
      Construction companies in particular liked 2L+5N, with some continuing to use them into the 21st century, even if the phone companies refused to display the number on the old format.
      A construction company in the Cleveland area got around the problem by actually changing the name of their company to their old format phone number, whole exchange name spoken out.
      It may be a way of reminding potential customers they've been in business for decades.
      That ad for the TV looked suspicious to me. It's obviously kludged from older subassemblies acquired from surplus sales.
      The business is not named and no address is mentioned, making me wonder if there was no way for the customer to return the set if (s)he were dissatisfied.

    Recorded off Rabbit Ear antennas? I didn't think home video recorders were a thing in 1970-1971. The Betamax didn't premiere until 1975 and VHS later.

    • @OofusTwillip
      @OofusTwillip Před 2 lety +2

      The very first reel-to-reel home video recorder was the Telcan, a British machine that came as a kit that the user had to assemble. In 1965, Sony, RCA, and Ampex launched their first reel-to-reel home video recorders. Sony demonstrated its U-Matic system in 1969, and launched it in 1970, in Japan. But it was so expensive that it flourished in the broadcast industry, not the home market.
      There's a CZcams channel that has old B&W video recordings from the late 1960s to early 1970s, by a group of friends in NYC, who got an early VTR, and pretended to have their own TV station, WBUF, by recording themselves doing "TV shows" on it.

    From 1969-74, the then-WMAL-TV in Washington had a black woman hosting a local children's show in "The Magic Door!" with
    Sheila Thomas. Thomas is (I think) the first black to host a
    local children's show in the D.C. area. Her series replaced the
    popular "Claire and Coco" (1965-69), after Claire Kleese planned
    to host a talk show directed at women.
