The 60's, 70' and 80's were notorious for blurring the line between programs and commercials, because a large number of TV programs were at that time simply for the purpose of plugging products, specifically toys and food. Like love2register said Magilla Gorilla was one. The theme song even contains the line "He's really Ideal!" Guess what popular toy company THAT was a plug for!! The Funny Company was another show created to plug Ideal toys (Remember Shrinking Violet? Another Ideal doll!)
Actually, when I was like three or four, I didn't realize there was a purpose for commercials. When a commercial came on with a song I liked, I thought it was the same thing as playing a song on the radio, lol.
Pdasilva0324- I, too, remember the one about the KITE, though I don't remember the one about the BROKEN RECORD PLAYER. I also remember these puppets from a saturday morning show, but I don't remember the name of the show. I'm hoping the "more info" link will have that info. I'll file this, and if I find it, I'll let you know. Do remember the chipmunk who hoarded the nuts as well? "Saving for a rainy day," or something to that effect...?
There was a time when advertising during kid's shows blurred the line, supposedly. Apparently, we as kids, were thought to be too stupid to know when Optimus Prime was beating up Decepticons for our entertainment and when he was telling us to buy an action figure. If we thought it was part of the show it was somehow manipulating us more.
It was a matter of ethics I think. I've heard of two notable examples, 1st was Magilla Gorilla cartoon which was admittedly made to provide an advertising mascot, and 2nd the Hot Wheels cartoon (1969) which was accused of being a 30 minute toy commercial. I think the fact that a new Hot Wheels cartoon supposedly went into production this year says it all.
