    These commercials were actually seen during 1970. Sinclair vanished, after they merged with Atlantic/Richfield to become "ARCO" (which is now part of "BP"). The True ad was among the last to be shown, before the ban on cigarette advertising began on January 2, 1971. Raquel's special ("Raquel!"), co-sponsored by Motorola, aired April 26, 1970 on CBS. Enzo Stuarti also recorded an album for Ragu {mail a dollar to them, and get his album, "That's a Nice"}.

    As a songwriter, I really admire and respect whoever wrote that jingle song for True. I smoked a few True's when they first came out, but I didn't like them. Winstons and Pall Mall were my brands. Can't forget Camels

    Funny how these commercials are shot on videotape, even though film was the standard for advertising back then.

    • @jmdocs

      More commercials were shot on tape in those days than we realize today - since the ones that have circulated over the years were all 16mm prints, either individually or included in 16mm network prints of shows, but the 2" tape copies were nearly impossible to distribute. In this case, this tape was clearly a demo tape for a production house that specialized in videotape commercials - how it ended up in the Nixon White House Communications Agency collection is a mystery, but I suspect that someone sent it as a demo to possibly shoot tape commercials for the Nixon 1972 campaign. And the campaign did use videotaped commercials, especially "man on the street" type things.

    The ban on cigarette advertising took effect 12:00 AM, January 2nd, 1971, so if these ads did ever air they would have had to play on January 1st.

      Yep, if that ad aired, it was likely during a New Year's Day bowl game. Cig companies sponsored many of them, so they delayed the ban.

      Careful on claims. While it is true, you could NOT advertise a 'cigarette' on TV, Marlboro found a way around this until 1999 (the last year of 'the Cowboy' commercials)...you see, if you didn't show the pack open, or the cigarette, or it burning, you COULD advertise...so Marlboro had 'Marlboro GEAR' that you COULD advertise about...and, needless to say, you COULD make commercials about selling the GEAR (which just inadvertently hocked smoking, as a 'sideline'))...so if you feel you've 'seen a cigarette commercial since 1970 (I remember $0.25 a gallon gasoline, so sure I remember them)...it's because of the Marlboro Gear of the late 80's and 90's that you do!

    Me and my family used to have a Motorola-era Quasar TV almost exactly like the one in front featured at 3:04, it was a hand-me-down given to us around 1987 from my grandparents who bought it new back in the early 70s, and had upgraded their set at the time (to a new RCA XL100 set with cable-ready digital tuning and all). IIRC, it was a "works in a drawer" set just like the one featured here.
    In spite of some of the other comments here mentioning how unreliable those Motorola-built Quasar sets were (probably part of the reason why Moto sold Quasar to Panasonic/Matsushita around '74), it was a great set though and never gave us any problems that I can remember. I remember it had a great picture, especially since we also just got cable TV around the same time. My grandparents even kept the manual that came with the set, and strangely, the manual was both an owner's and service manual (it even had printed screenshots of oscilloscope displays of signals at certain points in the TV's circuitry as a guide for TV servicemen).

      In later years, Quasar dropped the "Works in a Drawer" feature.

Maybe it wasn't an advantage after all.

      I read in a book, which I still have, but right now forget the title, that toward the end of Motorola's TV-making days, that their TV sets were leaving the factory with 150 (sic) defects for every 100 sets. That averages out to 1.5 defects for every set. Also, I read at Wikipedia that the Quasar brand was dormant for several years, but about tow or three years ago, Panasonic revived it.

    I'm sure they were, but they had to have been shown at other times as well.
    A few years ago I went to the Museum of Television & Radio to watch an episode of "That Girl" from 1967 so I could spot Teri Garr, and they had all the commericals on their videotape, including cigarette commercials(I think it was Kent or Lark, or something like that, I forget). FYI, Lew Parker was a chain smoker himself who died in 1972.

    So many memories from childhood.

As far as I'm concerned United went downhill after they started repainting the planes wt the red. orange and brown stripes.

    TV ads must be very regional, at least in 1971. I was 16 years old in 1970-1971 and I don't remember any of these commercials. And I live near Los Angeles, not in the back-woods. But I do know much of the back-story to that ARCO Ad. My Father worked for Richfield Oil Co. starting back in the early 1950's until 1984(?). One reason for the Atlantic-Sinclar-Richfield merger was due to an Anti-trust suit by Bobby Kennedy. Today ARCO was absorbed by BP.
