With the holiday theme in there, did TV Land used to show this only around Christmas time?

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

I don't believe they did. But I believe they shot this at his real home.

@TELEVISIONARCHIVES It kind of looks like the set from his show The New Dick Van Dyke Show, I think Hope Lang was also in it.

What a fun commercial! It's a minute long, but it doesn't feel that way, and Dick, as someone else mentioned earlier, is so casual at pitching this camera. He mentions the size of the camera and the prices...commercials back in the day were so much more...honest, lol.

I used 110 film as a kid in the mid-1990s (don't ask why). I always liked it because of the cool little thing it had, such as the "x"s one saw once they'd taken all the photos on the cartridge.

@4933juju Didn't these ones take MagiCubes ? I know that there were flashcubes around for them. i know that both would get warm, but as i recall, the flash ones would get warmer than the Magi ones would.

@patrick9648 really? hadn't realized they were still making it that recently... I think I have one similar if not identical to the one in this commercial, I'm guessing a lot of kids ended up with their parents Instamatic.

Kodak quit making the film about a year ago. You can still get it developed. Everyone had one of these. Pictures werent' bad but the negative was so small you couldn't get decent enlargements. Still better than the disc camera.
