@@ChrisHonowayOFFICIAL When people talk about the 50s, what they really mean is the 1954-1964. When people talk about the 60s---what they really mean is 1965-1975---when people talk about the 70s---what they really mean is 1975-1983. Having said all that---more cultural changes happened in just the 30 year period from 1950 to 1980, than in the last 30 years from 1990-2020. Truth be told---we've been at a cultural standstill since the turn of this century. I mean, if you watch a movie from 2000, except for things like "payphones", life doesn't look a whole lot different then than it does now
@impalaman9707 Last week I watched the replacements a movie from 2000 and I never once was like "this movie is so old" But if i saw a movie from the late 70s in 2000 I wouldn't get over how old it looked. It seems like the quality in cameras hasn't improved that much since 2000. Cars don't look that much different. The only stuff I notice that is a bit old looking is the computers, cell phones and the inside of cars
@@ChrisHonowayOFFICIAL MY POINT EXACTLY! I remember back in 1980 watching "Psycho" from 1960, and thinking, "This movie js ANCIENT!" But now, I'll watch "Shallow Hal" and think that movie could have been made yesterday! I'm telling you---pop culture is at a standstill!
I think all or most of the news broadcasts back then were called "eyewitness." Very nostalgic and comforting to watch these. I was 17 then and it was a great year.
The “Eyewitness News” brand would have been on KGO-TV 7, as it was on all other ABC-owned stations. But KPIX held the rights to the brand in the Bay Area, so Channel 7 adopted the “News Scene” brand instead. All three big network stations boasted high-quality newscasts in the 70s and 80s, though I liked Channel 7 just a shade ahead of KPIX.
I remember those CBS late night movies on KPIX channel 5 in the San Francisco Bay area. My grandmother when she would babysit us would stay up all night and watch those movies.
One thing I’ve noticed from watching old commercials from the 70s and early 80s is that people back then must’ve hated caffeine in coffee. So many commercials for decaf. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one nowadays
47:58 1981 was the first year I started following sports in the Bay Area. For me, it was a glorious beginning as an 11-year old sports fan, as right away I got to witness an American League West title by the Oakland A’s, and then later on a stirring 13-3 season from the San Francisco 49ers that culminated in a victory in Super Bowl XVI for their first-ever NFL Championship.
Bill Hillman is the voice you hear doing all the KPIX IDs and voiceovers. He was a legendary announcer & broadcaster at KPIX for decades, all the way to 1992 when he retired. Bill Hillman passed away seven years later in 1999.
Thanks for the info about his passing. Knew Bill Hillman well. Not personally, just from seeing him doing quick news updates on Channel 5 in the morning. Also remember Marcos Gutierrez doing "Bilingual Eyewitness News" in Spanish and English. You probably remember that yourself.
The 1980's:🚨 STRANGER DANGER!🚨 Don't ever talk to strangers, kids, whatever you do! Also the 1980s: hey kiddos! Attach your name and address to a balloon, and just see what stranger picks it up! It'll be fun!
In January (81) when the hostages were released from Iran, they started talking about Vietnam veterans were getting upset at all the cheers for their return when they got pummeled at their own return just years before. People started saying to pass forward their cheer for the release of our people that were held in Iran towards former Vietnam vets also. (I was 19 at the time, and it struck me as touching)
Does anyone know how i can find the Christmas commercial of twirling Christmas tree ornaments which transitioned into our planet earth. Late 60s early 70s?

I don't remember about the movie being rescheduled, but I sure remember hearing on my local radio station, a premature statement (before they found out later and corrected themselves) that James Brady had passed, it was so intense. The Oscars were moved also, weren't they? (To the following night)
@RetroLandfill I would like to make a request and information on how long you upload the videos. Can you please send me a notification via RUclips when you get this post? Thanks.
Hi, I can't really take requests, as I am limited to whatever is on the tapes that I have (unless you have tapes you want to donate for capturing). I still have about 40 or so Betamax tapes to look through. These remaining tapes may or may not have commercials on them... but most likely they do. After that, I have a stack of VHS tapes I plan to go though. The frequency of the uploads depends mainly on my spare time and motivation to do it. It takes quite a while to go through a tape, capture the commercials, figure out the date it was aired, edit the commercials together, upload and then write out all the time stamps of each commercial. I am glad that people seem to be enjoying these commercials, it definitely keeps me motivated to finish the project. Feels like preserving a piece of history!

Let’s just turn back the clock to this time and push pause on life
I was 2 .I grown up In the 80s I miss it. Wish we could go back.
I was 2 too😊
These 1981 ads just prove that the 1970s didn't really end until 1982
Yep; same as the 80s not ending until 1991
exactly it takes a few years before the new decade kicks in, with the exception of the 2020s. 2020 Immediedtely was different and terrible

I was 5 when these commercials aired.
The "Eyewitness News" branding and theme were even used in Australia.
How did I remember the Tab cola song?

The commercial for GE dishwasher I remember GE we bring good things to life . They use to
Geeze I was 16 …. It was a great time in life !! What has. Happened now ?!?!?! ;/
I was born in 1981 and I have a weird obsession with the year
love the GE commercial.....back when they made shit....

Yeah, they were really pushing Sanka.
None of my family or their acquaintances jumped on that ship. They all thought it was tasteless crap.
I was an embryo inside mom when this aired lol
Me too! I was born in December that year
This 1.5 hour run of commercials was extracted from just the first 30 minutes of a 1981 "Gone With The Wind" network television airing.

"Check your local newspaper for showtimes" 😃
Yes. There was no internet then. Funny.
I was 15 in March 1981
I was 2 1/2 years of age in 1981. I didn't turn three until November 4 of that year.
Love the Borden's LITE-LINE cheese mouse lady!
Thanks for posting.
No plastic surgeries! Wow! Its awesome.

It's not as clever as you think it is. Dads weren't pussies back then and would kill anyone that tried to fuck with their kids.
1:12:54 This ad aired a year or two before FM 97 became KRQR The Rocker.

I like how they did a story about the lousy deal that the Vietnam Vets got. 😒

Back when they actually reported the news and had multiple segments on societal problems and social issues thar effected all of us.

@@zaq55 He was great on camera too.
I was 7yrs old
‘Stand By Your Man’ was actually rescheduled two months later on May 13, 1981 because of the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan on March 30th.
wow, that's a good bit of trivia!
@@RetroLandfill 👍

I remember that ! I was in the 6th grade that year only 13 years old!
Should have shown Gone with the Wind,too.
I want to go back to using glass bottles like the ketchup bottle at 8:04.
Why would anyone want to drink 'decapitated' coffee?😂😂😂
