Buy Me That Too: A Kid's Survival Guide to TV Advertising (Part 1/2)

Most children watch between 30,000 and 40,000 television commercials a year. Often they can't tell the difference between an advertising fantasy and reality.

The Kid's Survival Guide to TV Advertising from Consumer Reports Television helps children weave through the maze of television advertising by showing tricks advertisers use to fool viewers, revealing facts that ads don't provide, and by arming children with concrete tips for surviving the TV advertising blitz. The show features children expressing how they feel about commercials. Host Jim Fyfe introduces clips from actual commercials, movies and video games and gives tips for spotting deceptive ads. The message to children is: What you see may not be what you get.

This is part 1 of 2 parts. It was released in 1991.
This was recorded directly from a VHS copy of the program.

Most of the value of toys you buy is what you believe them to be to you. This can't be advertised.
