Sears - "Very Easy To Get To" (Commercial, 1960?)

Views: 4039

Here's a short, animated, really early Sears Department Store spot, in black-and-white no less.

Animation looks similar to Walter Lantz (of Woody Woodpecker fame), no?

Voiceover by ??

Not sure when this aired but from other evidence seems like very late-fifties to very early-sixties.

Ok, it's not Chicago TV - it's from WUTV Channel 29 from Buffalo, New York - but I thought it was a fun enough promo that I wanted to share.

Can some of our broadcasting tech people name the different pieces of old equipment seen here?

Here's a commercial for Playball - a sponge rubber ball on an elastic band that clips to your baseball glove and which will come back to you after you throw it. Makes dads obsolete. ;-)

Your Local Zoo or Aquarium - "It's Wild" (1984?)

Views: 814

Here's a couple spots that one of our contributors, Matthew Graczyk found on Quad 2" videotape for "Your local Zoo or Aquarium". He believes these were used for the local Peoria area, although they do not specify and are generic enough to be used all over.

There's a 10 second spot followed by a longer 30 second spot.

"Uncouth."

Not sure when these would have aired but I'm going to guess 1984.

Here's a first - the first off-air recording of Garfield Goose and Friends that has ever been found (to my knowledge). Considering the program went off the air in 1976, this is not entirely surprising. (Some apparently erroneous TV listings had it showing again for short periods around 1982, but those have never been shown to be accurate)

This recording was ostensibly made for The Morning Movie presentation of "Sorry, Wrong Number" but luckily for us they started tapin...
