I wasnt born in the 70s but.. What were these commercials for?
Sort of like the Beginning of the TV RATINGS system of 1997 forward?

i hope with every fiber of my being that nothing remotely resembling such insipid 50's nonsense as the tv code ever gets passed again. idiots who whine about good citizenship in the year 2011 are irrelevant morons.

Lol. The tortoise reminds me of a kid I knew in junior high. (You know how some people remind you of certain animals?) Anyway, this "tortoise" I knew in junior high could run like the wind. Go figure. :-/

You're not joking; in fact, by 1978 or so, the NAB started receiving complaints from the TV studios and from the networks about how they believed that the TV Code was too tough and limited the type of programming that could be shown on TV, and finally by 1983 or '84, they lifted the TV Code.

Cue in the ax-murderer!! LOL

ABC used to air these Television Code bumpers at 6am just before starting their Saturday morning cartoon block in the 70s. By the early 80s they pretty much abandoned the idea.

@usa02 I remember this PSA from when I was a kid, and I never thought about it then, but that definitely sounds like Dick Cavett.

If anything, it's the creepy folk rendition of "Bingo" that scares me! Perhaps it's from seeing too much "adult" programming that wouldn't have fit the NAB Code standards, but my intuition says: when a kid is walking around alone as a creepy version of a children's song is playing, that kid's going to end up murdered by the end of the scene!

Still does.

The Television Code spots always seemed rather creepy to me. There were a few that freaked me out! lol

Yes it does! I remember this commercial fondly as a child. That's back when many kids and family shows were more viewer-friendly, at least many Saturday morning cartoons shows were. Good times, this commercial!
