80's Commercials Vol. 93

I've never heard somebody so excited over bricks LOL

Actors Rick Hurst ,Denise Weaver, Ted Knight looked so young back then and so was I.

i dont want to wait 2 years to play chess!!!

funny- on an episode of Pawn Stars a few weeks ago, a guy came in and tried to pawn his civil war chess set. The guy just laughed and offered him like $50 or something. The customer was like, "But they're PEWTER!" then the proprieter had to inform the poor guy that pewter is just a fancy name for tin!

That Pacific Bell commercial was a message from the past for the future.......about the future.

It's quite fitting that this man would appear in a grocery store commercial because the actor is Joe Conley and he played the role of Ike Godsey, who ran the store on "The Waltons."

I remember when I was a kid I wanted that Chess set so bad, but I ended up getting the Mysteries of the Unknown book series instead. I was in 5th grade and I got them for Christmas and we had a show and tell after break and I was all happy to show my book set.  My god...I was and am still such a nerd.

What was with the 80s and pewter statues? I remember every time there was Star Trek collectibles on QVC they always seemed to sell pewter statues of characters and ships. I also remember pewter wizards, fairies and gnomes being rather popular in the early 90s.

Actor Dennis Weaver (Duel) is the spokesman in the Great Western Savings ad.

John Forsythe-voiceover in Michelob spot.

"Where You're Going It's Michelob"???
--WTF???

I got one of those Civil War chess set ads in my collection, I need to put that clip up.
