Does anyone have the Purina Dog Chow commercial with the Little Girl and the Golden Retriever named Casey? It showed the Puppy bounding up the stairs then at the end, could barely crawl up the stairs. That one made me cry.
hahaa these were awesome. didn't expect to see the Pocono Homes one, I live in the poconos. I heard of people traveling from here to the city but I didn't know it was that common back then.
Christ! I saw Maximum Overdrive in the theatre when it came out (I even had AC/DC soundtrack on tape). The best was the OB commercial...my boss' last name is O'Brien and he is a bit of a bloody tampon (and a short F to top it off) and a buddy of mine go around work singing this song. Can't wait to email it to him. That's federal law enforcement for you. yeah, we laugh too.
i almost gave myself an aneurysm laughing at the O.B. commercial, mostly because my little sister and I used to run around the house singing the damn thing when we were kids...my poor mom must have been mortified!
HOOOLLLY SSHHHHIITTTT! YOU GOT THIS FROM CHANNEL 9 WOR-TV DIDN'T YOU? Jesus, I recognized the VO guy after Maximum Overdrive!! Back in the day (when it was only 3 majors and the rest were privately owned) the indie stations had one guy do voiceovers for all the commercials (i.e. "Available at Stern's" or "Now Playing at all Loews Cineplex Cinemas"). Also, I remember The "Together Dating Service" in West Islip on Union Blvd. So long ago & far away. Live in NC now. THX 4 DA MEMRS.
The voice heard at the end of the "Maximum Overdrive" trailer was WOR's own Ted Mallie. NBC's Howard Reig, however, was heard at the end of the "Aliens" trailer, and Gene Edwards was the V/O at the end of the ad for Avenue I Flea Market. (Edwards was for years commercial spokesperson for the Merchants Bank of New York in ads heard overnights over 1010 WINS.)
These commercials were taped on July 17th, 1986. The TV spot for "Aliens" said "starts tomorrow", which would have been July 18th.

Summer/Fall 1986. Except for the last one (NRA), which may have been early '87.
