Here's a second surviving commercial break for the 1973 airing of the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" (starring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley and Bert Lahr) on WMAQ Channel 5. This was the seventh airing of this classic by NBC, which held the rights from 1967 to 1975. (Among the fare preempted this evening: The Wonderful World of Disney.) Includes:

Commercial: McDonald's - with a mother and her children driving to have a meal after her husband bids them goodbye before leaving on a business trip - "You Deserve a Break Today"

Commercial: Prell Shampoo with Pam Dawber (years before landing the role of Mindy McConnell opposite Robin Williams in Mork & Mindy - this ad can be seen in color here) - "For Natural Beauty"

Theatrical trailer for reissue of Walt Disney's 1950 cartoon "Cinderella" coupled with the new release "Charley and the Angel" (voiceover by Dick Wesson?)

(Technical Note: While this aired in living color, the recording presented here was made on an early reel-to-reel home video recorder in drab black-and-white.)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, April 8th 1973 during the 5:30pm to 7:30pm timeframe.
