These commercials aired on NBC on March 11th, 1988.

1. Burger King (With Kadeem Hardison)
2. TV Spot for "Police Academy 5: Operation Miami Beach" (One of these days I'll tie myself to a chair and force myself to watch the sequels)
3. Promo for "Fraggle Rock" and "The Adventures Of The Gummi Bears"
4. Weathered Blues (Sort of a white trash version of those Levi's 501 ads. Genius marketing by K-Mart!)
5. Pledge (With Betsy Randle)

7. "The Highwayman" Commercial Bumper
8. Promo for "Hunter" and "Saturday Night's Main Event" (With Hulk Hogan)

13. "It wasn't dead..."/"The Highway Man" Commercial Bumper

LOL @ #9

I wonder how often 80s action stars were "in for the fight of their life"

[tdrewman]

It trips me out to see a station using channel 3

[kristin7799]

i loveee ur channel thank u so much for the great memories!

[sheri malik]

who's Kadeem Hardison?

[PhilBrooksSES]

No, if the date is accurate, it was shortly before Wrestlemania IV. Akeem was still OMG and Boss Man didn't debut until later in the summer.

[PhilBrooksSES]

She was the mom in Boy Meets World as well.

[DanZero77]

The Highwayman: Featuring "Energizer" Jacko Jackson!

3 On Your Side: We kill mosquitoes!

It wasn't dead (It was very much alive)

I saw that ad for The Terminator, then read your comment. Not one ounce of blood at all on regular TV!

Sonny Spoon? Another obscure NBC 80s series!

Saturday Night's Main Event was great. Not only did we get syndicated WWF on the weekends, but another show to go along with it!

[weareclouds]

That would be pretty cool.

The Pledge lady later appeared on Home Improvement as one of Jill's friends.

I wish the fast food restaurants would come out with retro packaging.
