From 1962 until the early 1970's, "Mister Roberts" aired on WCBS-TV; in fact, its debut, on the Nov. 21, 1962 edition of "Award Theatre" (with only four commercial interruptions, from Schaefer Beer) brought Channel 2 its highest ratings in the late night time slot up to that point (surpassed nearly two years later with an "Award Theatre" presentation of "From Here to Eternity").
Great commercial break from Channel 5's greatest time period, pre-Fox and 40th anniversary! Classics like that drunk driving PSA, Crazy Eddie, those great Long Island flea market accents, plus Mr. T! Can't do too much better than this!
That drinking and driving commercial @ 8:05 is hilarious! Who the hell bangs their glasses together so hard they shatter?... not to mention doing it over and over
OK that's it! I'm hightailining it to Crazy Eddie's right now for those INSANE deals lol
