1st block of ads from 1981 (WTBS)

I've finally returned after a long hiatus! This was recorded off of WTBS (which became simply "TBS" years later) in November 1981. That means I was less than a month old when this was recorded.

0:00 Colgate MFP
0:34 Flack's Drexel Heritage furniture
1:04 Taster's Choice coffee
1:35 Mattel Love 'n Touch
2:14 News break
2:48 Dukes of Hazzard toys
3:19 Jordache collection
3:39 light up face case
4:19 Monster clowns
5:02 Bird's Eye farm fresh mixtures
5:32 Campbell's soup
6:02 Momentum Muscular Backache Formula
6:32 Chef Boy-ar-dee

You might notice that the audio and video are slightly out of sync near the end, this is especially noticeable during the soup commercial. I tried various things to fix it, but couldn't figure out what to do. In the past I would've used Windows Movie Maker, but unfortunately that program hasn't been working for me since I switched to Windows 7.

Was this about the time that WTBS 17 started a separate national feed and a local(Atlanta) feed?

Lets hope those dolls arent Autons/Nestenes.

I think those are called 'Clown Arounds' not monster clowns.

You need to go back and recapture this without the anamorphic preset
