WFLD Channel 32 - The Addams Family - #3 (Break #2, 1971)

Here's the full Commercial Break #2 (in mostly black and white) from yet another different episode of The Addams Family on WFLD Channel 32. Includes:

Mott's Snack Jars Pudding - The Official 1971 NFL Training Table Food (Slightly better than Little Chocolate Donuts) - featuring NFL stars Fran Tarkenton, Alex Webster and Tucker Fredrickson.

Nelson Brothers - "Nelson Brothers Loves Me - and they'll love you too!" (same as earlier) (Al Parker voiceover)

"18 Golden Hits of 1970" record offer - Featuring some of the worst remakes of songs I've ever heard! I guess we've had the advantage of a whole lifetime of hearing these songs to know what they are supposed to sound like - they were only a year old or less at the time of this ad. (Switches to color right at the end of the ad!)

"I'm Butterscotch!"

This aired on local Chicago TV in March 1971.

This clip is included in the following categories:
  • 1970s
  • WFLD Channel 32
  • Full Commercial Breaks

    The 18 Golden Hits of 1970 album was one of those mail order albums of the 1970's featuring Milli Vanilli style artists singing top hit songs to rip you off that it's not the original artist or something like that. (Did you know in England Elton John was one of the artists who sang on Milli Vanilli style artists singing top his songs to rip your off that it's not the the original artist or something like that albums in the UK?)

    Mott's Snack Jars were in baby food like jars!

    I *hate* it when Milli Vanilli style artists sing top hit songs to rip you off that it's not the original artist or something like that.

    Well I'll tell you this. They earned a Grammy for best duo, right? But in November, 1990, they were forced to be stripped of the award, because they...LIP SYNCHED. If you don't believe me, look it up at Wikipedia. ;-)

    The one player was Fran Tarkenton the hall of fame quarterback and I think that was the Giants head coach who from my research at that time would have been Alex Webster, also the Tucker would have been fullback Tucker Fredrickson.

    Ah yes, Fran Tarkenton - that's the guy who's name I couldn't remember. Thanks.

    That was REALLY groove the way they made the words "Nelson Loves Me" morphed to shape like a heart!! That would be something only Dolphin Productions would do!! LOL

    In that Mott's ad,that was also another NFL great (both on the field,and in the TV booth),Pat Summerall on the voiceover.

    Did Dolphin Productions really do the scanamate word animation for the Nelson Brothers commercial?

    WFLD had bad singing on it's TV airwaves about 30 or so years BEFORE "American Idol".At least on the commerical,it's at least tolerable!

    Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head sung by BJ. Goldstein. We've only Just Begun Sung by The Carpentiers (pronounced KAR-PON-TEE-AY). Mamma Told Me Not Come sung by 2.5 3/4 Dog Night. American Woman sung by some unnamed garage band from Kenosha (BERWYN?). Hey! Is the Nelson Brothers jingle on that "collector's item" album as well?

    I couldn't make out the words on the bottom of the address slate, but I think that album was a product of STD.: Sham, Trickery and Desperate attempt to sound like the original artists. ;)

    "We've only Just Begun Sung by The Carpentiers (pronounced KAR-PON-TEE-AY)."

    Any relation to the late boxer Georges Carpentier, who was knocked out by Jack Dempsey in 1921?

    Years ago when they had those knockoff albums, there really was a group called the Original Artists. So sometimes the album would say "by the Original Artists" and it was these knockoffs. I'm not sure how they got around the laws with this.

    I remember Fran Tarkenton being on a stupid show I used to like as a kid.

    What's incredible? ;-) *ducks to avoid rubber chickens*

    That's Incredible. That's the name. I couldn't remember it (or maybe I didn't want to remember).

    ... Lemon ... (curiously wry smile completing the hellacious burn)

    Oh, it's a warped heart at the beginning!

    WB: No, Eduard Carpentier; the French pro wrestler.

    Why does that Nelson Brothers commercial remind me so much of the Brady Bunch?
    Comment posted by DinkCincinnati on Sunday, January 24th, 2010 at 1:39 AM

    You know what I think? I believe that they were not allowed to play the actual artist's song on the air so they used studio subs to sing the songs. The proof would have to come from someone who actual bought the LP. It is weird that the songs were called golden hits a year after they were released.

    Let's see . . . "Make It With You" sung by Crescent Roll . . .
    "Cracklin' Rosie" sung by Mel Zircon . . .
    "Everything Is Beautiful" sung by Roy Streakers . . .
    "Close to You" sung by the Plumbers . . .
    "Bridge Over Troubled Water" sung by Lyman and Carbuncle . . .
    "Candida" sung by Faint Sunrise featuring Arnie Laredo . . .

    But also . . . doesn't this have the appearance of being produced by the same people (albeit under a different corporate entity) that later put out the infamous "Muskrat Love" combination?

    That Elton John, early in his career, did similar works like this (anonymous re-recordings of big hits) is a tad ironic, given that in the aforesaid "Muskrat Love" HE was the one being ripped off in that fashion!
