Spray 'n Wash with Betty White (Commercial, 1976)

Views: 819

Here's a commercial for Spray 'n Wash laundry spot remover featuring Betty White, notable for the fact that it's not mentioned that it's Betty White.

Featuring an "authentic letter from Mrs. John S. Eagle of Redstone Arsenal, Alabama". Still makes me wonder who would write a letter to a cleaning product. Housewives sure were lonely back then.

WFLD Channel 32 - Tic Tac Dough - "Screwy Voiceover" (Bumper Promo, 1980)

Views: 3421

Here's a bumper promo for Tic Tac Dough on WFLD Channel 32. The Jim Barton voiceover started late and so we get to hear more of the background Field Communications music than usual.

They also screwed up because Tic Tac Dough wasn't next, Joker's Wild was. (with no Newscene update)

Mercifully, they then cut the whole thing off.
