I remember all those places. The names alone bring back amazing memories.

[danapehrson]

Remember Cal Worthington? (And his dog Spot?)



[RudyAirlandHobbies]

WOW, this was a walk into my past. I worked there at the South Gate store in 1984 until 1988 in sales, The manager was Henry Delgado, twin brother of Phil Delgado.

[fkndevil]

[irishmex80]

I used to pass by the anaheim store all the time as a kid, i remember my dad bought a zenith space command console t.v. there, thanks for the post!

[Stubbs1950]

These spots used to irritate the living begumby's out of me when they first aired,

Now I'm watching them voluntarily on the web.

[breeeza31]

[16Lizards]

Phil & Jim's, Adrays, LAtronics, University Stereo, Pacific Stereo, Leo's Stereo, Federated Group, etc etc. Once those big box stores came in, it killed all these "little" stores. Remember Oles, Angels, Builder's Emporium?

[tvtimetravel]

Don't forget Rogersound Labs.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

@16Lizards I remember ALL of them plus more, Do you remember Akron and Alpha Beta markets,we can go on and on.I miss them day's,oh what about Zody's and TG&Y and Thriftimart.

[looterish]

@MrMegaFredzeppelin Let's see...CalStereo, The Wherehouse, Sav-On Drugstores, Ole's, Gemco. I remember Phil & Jim's, Shakey's Pizza, Miller's Outpost. If you were in Orange County you no doubt remember the Cinedome.

[Mongoose4You]

Hah! I still make Phil and Jim's references and NOBODY gets them...my sisters and I had a pet theory that the women in the commercials were Phil and Jim's wives...

[seestephride]

haha, they were their wives and other family members. (i'm actually in this commercial)

[samjones555]

Holy Sweet Eskimos!-If ya got more 1970s and 1980s commecials,put them up!.How about any station id`s or Bumpers?.Great stuff!

[oracle19]

I remember Phil & Jim's, as well as the Federated Group.

[flyingfirstclass]

I remember these commercials from when I was three, around 1988. That Phil n' Jim's jingle has been stuck in my head for the past 20 years! Hella expensive crap though, the TV is $1089 in 2007 dollars which makes it even cost more than the LCD I use...

[24models4hire]

LOL this is crazy funny! Now I've got to search for a commercial from "Howards".

[1011010]

Thanks for upping this

[spacecoyote1966]

I had completely forgotten about Phil & Jims.

[skehhhtch]

This brought back summer vacations in the 80s. I never even been to Phil & Jim's, but I remember this commercial well. Thanks!

[slotscott]

Again I Thank You!! The memories you've brought back are pricless!!!!!

[vermontviking]

$438 was a lot of money in 1981.

[eyeh8cbs]

I got that Zenith stereo system for my birthday in 1982. 8-track was pretty much dead by then, but my dad said he picked it because the turntable was pretty good. Added an external cassette deck and a CD player a few years later then finally gave it away. Ironically it was after that when I started collecting 8-track tapes (got an old external deck for my new stereo!)

[runnersmit]

I've been dying to hear that jingle for years! Reminds me of those miserable hot summer days with nothing to do but watch the KTLA rerun line-up. If you can find the Barbazan School for Modeling or the Doodson School for Trucking, the memory would be complete. Btw, that crap is expensive for today's standards...geeze!

[jseale1978]

I used to think they said "lemon juice lemon juice lemon juice"...

[jeffgodden]

lol I used to think the Cal Worthington(car dealership) jingle was "pussy cow pussy cow pussy cow"

[Kuahmel]

Ahhhh, I'm reminded of that jingle now. It's like a Saturday up under Channel 5 all over again.

[tofubeast]

I can't even put in words how happy I am to see a phil and jim's add posted on here!

[OhMyrtle]

I love you! We used to go to the Phil & Jims in Huntington Beach all the time :-)

[jeffgodden]
