My father drank Carlsberg beer as well. I vaguely remember commercials about it. I don't recall too many cigarette ads. Growing up watching TV on weekends, the ads tend to toys on Saturday morning and previews of up coming shows.

Could you do episodes based around 3 horrible series (or just one year wonders) from one specific season going from 1974 - 1979? So for 1978 shows never discussed shows like Grandpa Goes to Washington, In the Beginning, Whodunnit (w/ Ed McMahon)?
Ian
I meant 1974 - 1989

Those doilies on the backs of chairs were called antimacassars! I only know because I ran across it in some Victorian-era children's book and looked it up--which means Victorian men must have goop in their hair, too.

Re: Anacin--migraine OTC pills still contain aspirin and caffeine, as it happens. Re: Dairy Association--one of the best ad spinoffs I ever saw was a baby onesie with the motto "Got Milk?" on the front. :)
Rachel
The "I Am Stuck on Bandaid" jingle was written by Barry Manilow, as was the "Like a Good Neighbor" jingle. Two on the list! Hebrew National Franks (which are not truly kosher, by the way!) is still using that same slogan.
Rachel
