Exactly 31 years ago. Now here we are Sox/Yanks in the playoffs again..probably to play each other in the ALCS. I was only a year and a half old during this game, but have sadly seen that ending too many times. GO SOX!

Did you make the original recording of this?

If so, do you know what kind of VCR was used?

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

I can't remember but I don't think this came from my collection.

It's hard to imagine McDonald's fries being delicious these days.

[jwgreek8606]

who is that in the GIlette Trac-2 commercial?

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

The man behind the counter? Good Question.

[jwgreek8606]

I am talking about the customer

[epaddon]

@TELEVISIONARCHIVES He's George S. Irving, an actor principally noted for the Broadway stage, though he can be seen in one episode of "All In The Family" as the philandering Cousin Russell (a part Richard Dysart played in an earlier episode). I remember him best in the commercials for White Owl cigard in 1976 where he kept annoyingly going, "We're gonna get you!"

[BettinaBalser]

Ten days before my eighth birthday.

[aspetwhy]

4 months after my 7th birthday!

[RolandTaylorJr]

My 4th birthday exactly!

[pannoni1]

I would watch out more for getting a Supersized Waist!

[nanlisa]

That day was my 21st birthday, and I spent it in L.A.

Wow, I'd forgotten all about that McDonald's spot. Thanks for sharing. "Keep your eyes on your fries!"

And it's hard to imagine, at this late date, a sports telecast where the commercial breaks are only a minute long!
