Introduction to Take Kerr With Graham Kerr - "360 Degree Breakfast"

From Wikipedia - "Kerr returned to television in 1974 with a daily, syndicated five-minute series, 'Take Kerr' which featured a particular recipe for each show. This programme only lasted one series, and was controversial for a time, due to an inclusion of a passage from the Bible in the closing credits, since Kerr became a Christian following his accident. This series was later repeated on CNN during its first year or so on the air." (Note - no Bible passage can been seen in this clip)

Rhodes bread - "The Pure Bread" (same as in Break #2)

Long Chevrolet (from the "pre-Timmy" era - definitely the oldest Long Chevy commercial we've found) (featuring Tom Rupkey of Bloomingdale, Mr. & Mrs. Charles Vankovsky of Cicero, John Van Stan of Hoffman Estates, and Paul Tirlick)
