Partridge Family pilot - original commercial breaks

[gahloot]

That kid in the Cheerio's commercial is now probably 50 years old? Ouch!

[definitedoll]

and what's that song he played him in the bathroom? is that on the album?

and remember folks the "Dry Look" was very in at the time.

[kresblain]

@definitedoll In response to your question, that song was "Let the Good Times In." A version of that particular tune was featured on the album "Come On Get Happy: The Very Best Of The Partridge Family."

[definitedoll]

never mind~~ just take me back right now!! Because i was really there!

It's interesting that General Mills bought two spots for Cheerios--Kellogg's subsequently became a main sponsor and the cast did commercial for Rice Krispies.

I didn't like the whole put-down attitude of that Score Natural commercial; that old man who cut down that guy because he had vitalis in his hair, along with the derisive emphasis used by the background narrator who leaned heavily on the phrase "the good old days." Times would change. By 1982, Paul Sorvino's character would be back in style again and those mod-look guys in double-breasted jackets, flowered shirts and scarves tied around their necks would be the ones being laughed at!

[scottbaino]

"Feeling loopy" is a better term for the kid in the red jacket!

[Lordmij]

The little kids hair seems to be really dark in this episode, maybe he dyed it bronze red in later epsiodes. LOL Poor Danny.

[bodleladle]

Notice a young Paul Sorvino doing the Score natural commercial...

The 70s did have a lot of funny commedies no doubt. Better than todays shows, but the music was terrible. I dont remember most of these commercials since I was born after shows like the Partridge family but they were funny even in reruns.

[letseeitplease]

thanks for that walk down memory lane with those commercials playing in the partridge family, it was really nice,i will buy a box of cheerios tomorrow because of these commercials,see if it still tastes as good now as it did back in the day,

[Petsounz]

Wasn't it nice to have "clean" commercials back then. No viagra or other trash. So glad I grew up when I did. I never missed an episode of The Partridge Family!

[sparky14624]

@Petsounz Ha, same here! And I remember the "Feelin' groovy; just had my Cherioes" ads too!

[gersirvent]

Ese era el verdadero sabor de la CoCa Cola Unica.  LOVE IT! Good Memories.

[jakobluke]

HOHHH... AT 3:45...

[1594svt98]

I really enjoyed the taste of coke in the bottles back then. It was soooo gooood. Still is, but the bottles are so expensive now. Until 1978 I remember a small town that my Grandpa and I drove through once in a while, had an outdoor coke machine (long vertical glass door, rollers for the small bottles) for a quarter. Those were the best tasting cokes ever.

[boyjohn]

The reason that coke (and pepsi) doesnt taste as good as they did back then is because they both stopeed using sugar in the 80's and switched to high fructose corn syrup. It just doesnt tatste the same.

"Get in the Cheerios groove. Groovy, groovy."

[nanlisa]

That night, my parents and I went shopping, and after waiting for my father for a long time, my mother had him paged.

I had turned 13 a week later (On October 2), and my sister was born three days later (on October 5).

[lindalds]

@nanlisa hey, I turned 13 that year, on Halloween! I never missed an episode of Partridge family!

[areaman714]

i find it curious that all those men had to have a bowel movement at exactly the same time . . .

[Meatpies62]

Actually, I should have said Paul Sorvino.

[Meatpies62]

Is that Danny Aiello??? In the "Score" commercial,,,

[stevephil07]

This is awesome...thx! I was born in Jan, 1971 and my Ma told me how sheloved the Partridge Family...I can picture her watching this while pregnant with me!

[rabanvi]

This was very good to see.I recall asa kid on 9/25,1970 trying to get our color tv set to work right to see this.Unfortunately It did not happen at that time.I am certainly glad to have at least seen the commericals.

[blueeyesofice]

how can cheerios have protein? i thought protein came from animals

[whisperofwind1]

protein does not have to come from animals. I am a vegetarian and get my protein from soy based products, beans, cottage cheese, etc. animal meat is just one source..

[kurskss]

Cheerios ARE groovie!!! :)

[huntinhuskybear]

how did you get this video? did someone actually film the television screen during the original 1970 broadcast with an 8mm camera?? Home video recorders were not available in 1970.

[mrtelevision]

This is off the actual film reels that the

networks used at that time

[sexymama1966]

omg..lol..love shirley's announcement that the show will return after this message..did the cast member did the announcent tag?

[txpipedad]

OMG, the greaser in the leather jacket at 3:56 is Paul Sorvino!

[regency98us]

Me too man, I love this> I still have VHS tapes made in 1981 that have the commercial trailer with Shirleys voice too. rare to have them keep those on in 1981.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

that was in the days when UHF was still showing old classics in syndication...but they were still edited

[MelodyThePussycat]

Thanks for posting this, I love the Partridge Family!
