"Sliders" premiere ad breaks - Part 2 - 1995

More ad breaks from the two-hour series premiere of "Sliders," broadcast on KDAF-TV (then Fox 33) on March 22, 1995:
1. Fox Cold Hard Facts with Steve Thomas of the New York Islanders (preceded by U.S. Army ad promising that "by the year 2000, there'll be as many computers as people.")
2. Fox - "Married With Children" (the Bundy Beer Awards)
3. Kellogg's NutriGrain cereal bars
4. Ford (positing the existence of other, more awesome planets where everybody automatically gets a Ford.)
5. Snapple (With Wendy the Snapple lady's help, a shy Passion Supreme Soda fan from Wisconsin tells a girl how he feels.)
6. Clairol Herbal Essences
7. McDonald's (The 99-cent BACON double-cheeseburger!)
8. EPT pregnancy test
9. Fox Sunday Night (Robert Zemeckis hosts "The Simpsons" and "The Critic.")
10. Fox "The New Home of the NFL" bumper
11. Coca-Cola (Coke bootleggers in the 1930s! Cute!)
12. Mazda Miata
13. Domino's (with shameless rip-off of "We Will Rock You.")
14. Fox NHL Sunday promo (The Dallas Stars' Mike Modano talks about how his practice routine's changed - with his mom's help.)
15. Hyundai Accent (same one from previous batch)
16. Coca-Cola/Six Flags Over Texas
17. AT&T TrueWorld Savings calling plan
18. Chevrolet Monte Carlo (looks a lot like the Accent ad to me)
19. "A Current Affair"

I'm guessing this is when those "orgasm" commercials for Clairol Herbal Essences began. I have one from January 1998.

Looks like it. It was reintroduced about that time.

Fox KDAF 33 was at Dallas,Fort Worth Texas.

and i remember that channel when my dad recorded batman (1992 cartoon).

That's very nice to use Jay Sherman in this video and BTW the episodes promoted form 3:44 to 4:15 are Bart's Girlfriend (The Simpsons) guest starring Meryl Streep and A Song for Margo (The Critic) guest starring Johnny Wrath.

OMG, a promo for The Critic! :-D

[jriley1992]

Yea that Monte Carlo commercial do look like the Hyundai Accent one.

In the year 2000, there will be as many computers as there is people. Little did we know back in 1995 that we'd be talking to people on the internet via cellular phone.

LOL The Bundy Beer Awards!

Also, Fox's "Cold Hard Facts" PSAs are apparently similar to the "Under the Helmet" PSAs, because it's some athlete giving you a life lesson. Same with the "Safe at Home" PSAs.
