Actually, it's "Pepto-BISMOL", 'Matt'. You make it sound like it's "Pepto-Dismal", which wasn't the actual intention of the product. One FEELS dismal before using it, not after! ;)

And since there's audience applause before the start of the commerical, this is probably from an episode of "THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE & HARRIET", which had Norwich Pharmacal [the makers of P-B] as an "alternate sponsor" during the 1955-'56 season, before Eastman Kodak became the sole sponsor the following season...

@fromthesidelines Yeah, it's from a rebroadcast of the episode "Pajama game". That's why I'm not sure of the exact date.

The "Pajama Game" episode, originally telecast on April 1, 1955, was rebroadcast on June 29, 1956- the last telecast of that season (it's noted at the end of the episode), and its final appearance as a Friday night series. When the show moved to Wednesday nights the following season, Eastman Kodak became the sponsor.
