Here's a commercial for one of those cheesy-bad 1-900 number ads, which were so ubiquitous in the early 90s.

Room Mates - 1-900-737-2233 ($3 per minute, 12 minutes minimum!)

Yep, that's a minimum of $36 you're spending for that phone call.

This aired on local Chicago TV early Saturday, June 22nd 1991 after 2am.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 3,800+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:

    Banned by the FTC, so not valid.

    I think this is why the FTC banned the cheesy 900 numbers! When the callers where billed over $50 dollars for a 5 minutes call, when they required a 20 minute minimum conversation!
