'90s Ad Breaks Vol. 6 - July 1996

Ads aired during KXAS-TV's broadcast of "Inside Edition" on July 19, 1996 - just before the Atlanta Olympics' opening ceremonies.

Break 1:
* CarChoice
* Minyard Food Stores (With weekly specials, and the Dallas Cowboys' Troy Aikman apparently giving away tickets to the Olympics THAT ARE ABOUT TO START.)
* Q the Sports Club (One of apparently umpteen with Crystal Bernard)
* Dallas Pest & Termite Services (Has to be the same announcer Dalworth Carpet Cleaning used for years)

Break 2:
* Howard Johnson
* "Inside Edition"
* KXAS Sports "It's Our World" promo (Touting coverage of the Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys training camp and the 1996 Summer Olympics. Not a sports fan, so the only guy I can name is Scott Murray at the end - feel free to fill in the rest.)

Break 3:
* Kroger (Featuring employees Bridgette Boeck and Craig Musser)
* North Texas Ford Dealers - Great Ranger Clearance
* Jenny Craig (With Cindy Williams)
* Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems

Break 4:
* Tartar Control Mentadent
* Almond Klondike bars ("Would you play patty-cake?")
* LensCrafters
* Sears
* Summer Nights at Wet 'n Wild (After Six Flags bought it, but before the name was changed to Hurricane Harbor.)
* North Texas Chevy-Geo Dealers (Geo Prizm)

Break 4:
* KXAS Weather ("Ever hear of 'sun dogs'?" With meteorologists Rebecca Miller, David Finfrock and Scott Chesner)
* KXAS Sports (A repeat. Whoops. It showed up a bunch on this tape.)
* Stars of Tomorrow doubleheader at Ballpark in Arlington (Appears to be aimed at Oklahomans - did they get Dallas-Fort Worth TV then?)
* KXAS "Public Defenders" bumper
* Local sponsor tag for the Olympics - UPS
