1978 KCOP channel 13 Los Angeles commercial break

Crest toothpaste, Evelle Younger for Governor (running against Jerry Brown- Jerry Brown's now running for governor of California again, but Evelle Younger can't because he's dead), Scope mouthwash, Mrs. Butterworth's with the talking bottle (talk about false advertising!) Saturday Film Festival bumper, Obsession game from Mego, and Malt-O-Meal featuring Edgar and his talking stomach!

Appears that each alternating commercial here is on 16mm film and videotape.

I wonder which Beatles movie was on?

@dannystrat It was Hard Day's Night. Funny thing is I got a copy of the commercial breaks from this from one person, then years later from an Ebay seller I got a collection of Beta tapes that included the same broadcast, but recorded by someone else.

@reymatt76 yep, that's her

That last commercial was kinda creepy.

A stomach talking?

[calchick82]

@reymatt76 Yep!

Was that Kim Fields (Tootie from Facts of Life) in the syrup commercial?

Jerry Brown Had Just Been Re-Elected Governor Of California.

@dannystrat Yep- sadly I (or my parents rather) didn't get a VCR til 1985, though I begged for one years before that! Never even lived near Los Angeles either. That makes it even weirder finding 2 different copies of this same broadcast though.

@dannystrat Whoops! Just read that you didn't record this!

[dannystrat]

@eyeh8nbc I imagine a lot of folks taped that broadcast! That was about the time VCRs became more popular and somewhat affordable. Yours probably cost around a grand I assume! Oh- thanks for the post. I really enjoy these local area commercial breaks.
