On top of Just Men! hosted by Betty White where she won a daytime emmy for her hosting gig, but the updated version of $ale of the Century & Hit Man debuted the same day. Both Just Men! & Hit Man ended after 3 months, but $ale stayed on until Friday, March 24, 1989. That's 6 years and 2 months & 1,578 shows in all.

Just watched this commercial here for the first time, and remembered it instantly from when it originally aired. A pleasant, simple, straightforward and effective message expressed without yelling, bombast or any people acting like idiots. Those were the days.

TNT aired reruns of this show in the middle 1990s.

The only place I can find Sanka now is on amazon. At least it's still around, stopping people from feeling edgy.

Dolly Madison Zingers were better than Hostess Zingers.

This ad features footage of the Lobster ride that was located at the Marriott's Great America in Santa Clara California as the one in Gurnee has five cars per arm, not four.

The footage of the Lobster ride in this ad is actually from the Marriott's Great America in Santa Clara, CA and not the one in Gurnee. The giveaway is that California's Lobster had four cars per arm while Gurnee's has five. Gurnee's Lobster was renamed East River Crawler but in 2017 will revert to the Lobster name and be relocated to where the Orbit was located. Orbit is being removed.
