    Wow, such a great find. These are the gems that make our hobby so fulfilling and worthwhile. Thank you for contributing such a great piece of TV history to the archives. What a joy to see an early TV appearance of the late, great John Dunsworth. A truly talented actor and a beautiful person.

    I can’t believe you have this!!!! I’ve been wanting to see it forever! Do you mind if I post this on Dad’s social media pages??? He looks just like my bro in this and it’s so so foolish
    I remember him and his friend Tom Joregenson making these ads. There was a series I believe? There were also some Bargain Harold’s ads that they made at the same time.
    My holy grail is always “I agree, Schmedley”
    Thanks so much for this.

      Absolutely!!! Share away!!! This is why I do what I do. To make sure this stuff isn't lost. Let me know if there's anything else I can do, Sarah.
      He was an incredible actor.

      Just a heads up. I've turned up 3 more Reliable TV ads over the past while and a 4th just pulled from the tapes that'll be going up in coming days, all with John in them.

    Confession- I honestly have no idea who the dude on the right is or what the "character" is referring to, but it just makes me smile because it's such a slang French Canadian VIBE. Some of the smaller Northern Ontario towns basically ARE this commercial. Paired with delicious FOOD! [Dag BK, I'm HUNGRY now!]

      He's doing a fantastic impression of Ed Norton (played by Art Carney) from the sitcom "The Honeymooners" (1955-1956)

      @@eSPy86 Ok cool, thanks! Although I just looked up Ed Norton from Honeymooners and can see the resemblance in the cadence and demeanor, but without the seemingly French Canadian accent in this commercial(?)... I'll be ok, I promise lol
