Burger Chef - "The Mariner" (Commercial, 1977)

Here's a commercial for Burger Chef featuring their new "Mariner" fish dinner.

"You get more to like at Burger Chef."

This aired on local Detroit TV on Sunday, April 3rd 1977 during the 6pm to 7pm hour. (can't tell if the Copyright says 1976 or not)

    I remember going to a Burger Chef right into Indiana (Dyer or Schererville) and they had his really cool map thing where you could play with cars on.

    The copyright probably says 1975. (Probably uploading in high-quality 640 x 480 might be a clue to answering this mystery - just a suggestion.)

    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burger_Chef , many locations became Hardee's and the final Burger Chef closed in 1996.

    I remember the old Burger Chef in Goshen, Indiana. Great burgers...also remember "the works" bar.

    Forgot that they sold fish at one time.

    I think it's a Dairy Queen now.

    Burger Chef and Jeff appear toward the end of the commercial.

    It's either a 1975 or '76 copyright. I really had to strain my eyes to get a good look at it and even then I couldn't completely make it out.

    I can't get that girl's voice out of my head. I keep saying to random people, "Why don't you try our new mariner dinner?" while bobbing my head. No joke.
