Bewitched 5th Season Kodak commercial

[Sheri451]

Was it supposed to be stills? Or is it an error on YT?

[Sheri451]

Was it supposed to be like stills? Or is there something wrong with my computer?

19 dollars was a lot back then.

Instamatic cameras WERE easy to load and use, but they didn't take very good photos, unfortunately. The size of the negatives was so small, and the camera lenses were so cheap, that the prints never were sharp.

Of course I realize that this description is so outdated that some people won't even know what a "negative" is.

loved my Kodak camera and loved Elizabeth and Agnes. When I was a little girl I lived in San Juan Capistrano Calif and often saw Agnes Moorehead shoping at our local Von's grocery store....we would giggle with delight to think that a star was shopping at our store!

[thebrujaisbackagain]

was there like actual footage that's been lost or something

[sandrapoet]

love the old cameras

[partygirl209]

Kodak is still popular!!

[JoshuaTaylor]

And then after the memory card was full they uploaded them into a new folder marked.... Oh, wait....  ;-)

@JoshuaTaylor Funny - not! They Germans make Jello. Should have been easy for them considering they turned 6 million people into dust in only 12 years time.

[smeldogs]

Neat commercial !

Andy Griffith and Don Knotts did commercials for cereal and cigarettes as their characters from The Andy Griffith Show, too.

[chumshot1]

@dakota975 LOL yeah they did and Hogans Heroes did one for jello on here somewhere it's hilariously random XD

[ElCriticon82]

What's with the slide show? This is not how it was shown on TV. What gives here?

[TimothySEnglish]

$19 was a lot of money back in those days.... since the minimum wage was around $1.75 per hour, and the average income was around $6k per year. That same camera would retail for close to $90 today.

In character commercials are fun to watch. When did they stop doing that? When did characters from shows stop doing commercials? I wish they'd come out with DVD collections with the original ads. They'd make a mint. I can remember early in BEWITCHED syndication run, at the end of the opening, by the stove when the smoke forms, the sound would die. As a kid, I turned the sound all the way up and between scratches you could hear the announcer say "presented" or "brought to you by" Very Cool!

[sexymama1966]

i did that too..lol

[regency98us]

@RQVOutdoorMoovies I remember that. Fortunately I still have some old VHS tapes that I made in 1980, with those "brought to you by" tags. I have some Lucy Show, and Partridge Family shows. For the PF, Shirley's voice comes on and says "The Partridge Family will back after this message" Some have early scenes with narration too. Cool!

[ivegotalongdong]

where's the video?  if the audio exists, there must be a video around someplace

[inuyasha1014]

Lol,Endora with a camera.

[newstart2009]

this file was floating around the net in the late 90s i only had the audio, where you successful at finding the video footage?

[palmercomm]

A camera????? Endora doesn't need a camera! She can go make one appear out of thin air. She's a witch!

Hmmmm.... wonder if she or Samantha have Patronuses.

[Wellveryinteresting]

Actually Samantha could make the picture appear out of thin air as well!

[Wellveryinteresting]

In season 6 she did make a picture of Dr. Bombay appear out of thin air!

[AgnesMoorhead1]

Really! See your Kodak dealer in the year (what year is it Rex? 2008?! Are you sure?) Oh well, time flies like a witch on her broom - however I enjoy revisiting the sixties again.

[CarlosJulio20]

NO! it is 2009!!!

Eastman Kodak was a regular sponsor of the series between 1968 and '70 {I also remember the 1969 Christmas ad the cast did}, around the time Chevrolet and Quaker Oats discontinued theirs. Then, they picked up Bristol-Myers' "Clairol" division as a sustaining sponsor, and Oscar Mayer towards the end...I like the "storyboard" approach, 'Nick'.
