Pacific Bell Mini-Series (1987)

I'm posting these following a request to feature these two commercials by themselves. These were part of a 12 part series following three depression era characters: Garland, Lawrence and Mary Ellen. They aired through August of 1986 and the end of 1987.

Part 5 aired on January 29th, 1987, and Part 6 aired on February 13th, 1987.

If anyone has any of the other ads in this series, I'd love to post them.

Cool ads, but I can't help but think the two actors who played the 1987 version of the characters look too young to have been in their 20s/30s in the 20s and 30s.

I would love if the rest of these are found and put up online

I really hope we're able to find the rest of these.

the budget for these must have been huge.

Very sad yet very uplifting.
