Views: 1374

Here's a memorable commercial for Brut cologne featuring a woman who likes to try on her man's clothes. (Not that there's anything wrong with that)

Brut. It Smells Like A Man.

Paint-N-Stuff (Commercial, 1977)

Views: 1552

Here's a local Detroit commercial that just amused me for some reason. I was thinking it would be funny to overdub a voiceover as to what the customers are saying in this.

"Your Headquarters for Mad Mod Colors and Velvet Wallpaper!"

This aired on local Detroit TV on Thursday, April 7th 1977 (not Chicago TV, but still cool!)

Lincoln Carpeting (Commercial #1, 1984)

Views: 1694

Here is a Lincoln Carpeting commercial, circa 1984. Not the full version of the jingle, but enough. :-)

Apparently, Lincoln is the thinking man's carpet company. Makes that Empire guy look like a uneducated philistine. ;-)

WIND News Talk 56 - "Reaching Somebody" (Commercial, 1980)

Views: 1945

Here's a commercial for radio station WIND News Talk 56.

Who's that actor again? I keep thinking Jeffery Tambor but he just looks like him a little bit.

Lincoln Carpeting - "Firing Squad" (Commercial, 1983)

Views: 2826

Here's a commercial for Lincoln Carpeting featuring the full version of their jingle.

I wonder if the person that came up with this goofy ad got fired? 8-)

"When you're thinkin' Lincoln-Lincoln, better carpeting for less - call NAtional 2-9000. NAtional 2-9000!"

This aired on local Chicago TV in February 1983.

WFLD Channel 32 - Movie 32 - "Topper Takes A Trip" (Partial Break, 1971)

Views: 1118

Here's a partial Commercial Break for the Movie 32 presentation of "Topper Takes a Trip" on WFLD Channel 32. Includes:

Milex (in color) (voiceover by Del Clark)

Medical Profession training (cut-off)

Not sure what happened here - if this was a cut made by the person recording it or if it was a WFLD error. I'm thinking the former is more likely, though it's strange that there are no other cuts throughout the rest of the broadcast...

WFLD Channel 32 - Promotional Sales Film (Part 1, 1970)

Views: 4428

Here's a terrific piece of local history and the next best thing to a guided tour of WFLD's facilities circa 1970 for you broadcast equipment junkies out there (W.B. I'm looking in your direction...) ;-)

This is Part 1 of a WFLD promotional film for (I assume) the sales department, meant to be shown to prospective advertisers on why WFLD was such a kick-arse station to buy time on. And they do take their time - in the first part showing the aforementioned equipment spread, as...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Phyllis Diller Impersonator" (1972)

Views: 1410

Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

This Break #2 from an unknown episode number features an impersonator of famous comedian Phyllis Diller.

I'm thinking that "SYT #1" as the clapboard person says, refers to the fact that it's Movie #1. (2 movies a night were shown for most of the run of SYT)

According to the TV listings, ...
