American television was fascinating back then. Especially the way they constantly plug the Skippy peanut butter, I thought that modern commercials spoofing old-time ads were intentionally over the top, but it looks like they are pretty spot-on. And I see that wrestling hasn't gotten less fake with the years either, hah.
