@@Mpshfromlowell64 - Thanks for the detail. I was aware that there were NFL championships prior to the first superbowl. Coming up with the name Super Bowl was a stroke of marketing genius.
Yes, but there was color TV for the rich. It started in 1949, when CBS (not NBC) broadcasted special events and major sports in color. Only the rich folks knew this. Only they could watch NY's ball drop in color.
Neither did NBC. He was starring on a bi-weekly variety show at the time he had his affair with Liz. They exercised the "morals clause" in his contract, and cancelled him in March 1959.
Come to Bowling Green, Ohio and live those years before you were born. Most "townies" are stuck in 1953. Yes, this is the same Bowling Green that has BGSU. Off campus it's way back in time. Wear a bathrobe out... be arrested!

Was born in 1954, fun to see these commercials even though it would be a few years before I watched TV.
Wonderful! If only there were a time machine ...
$199.00 for a TV, is $2.100 in today's money.
Granted, the old computers were very limited and big but now you need a warehouse just to hold the servers.
I can't aford a $200 tv now! I can't imagine how much that must have been back then!!
7:05 Man, that Listerine really did the trick! As soon as he comes in she's practically got her tongue down his throat!
Fred Robbins speaks for Coca-Cola (on Eddie Fisher's "COKE TIME").
Big screen 21" TV. Woah, let's call everyone over to watch the Super Bowl. Oh wait, there was no Super Bowl then.
😂
@@gamerlikesretro8516 but don’t try to hang the tv up on the wall. You will have to wait until about year 2000.
They had the NFL championship game in December of that year… the Browns beat the Lions…..

Been looking for that ketchup commercial they blow up trying to get the ketchup out. Around 1968 or so, i haven't found it yet...
Stan Sawyer speaks for RCA Victor.
Wow!!!!! Fascinating!!!
The bad breath commercial was a riot. Calometric sounds a little shady.
Debbie Reynolds wasn't happy with the break Eddie Fisher took with Elizabeth Taylor...

Thank you! Very interesting!
You're welcome!
Do tv shows have morals clause anymore?

Back then televisions were measured from a top corner to a bottom corner on the other side. So not as large as you would think.
Televisions are still measured diagonally.
Where’d you find these commercials?
The Year I was Born 1954
Simoniz Floor Wax. For that "oily garage" smell. 😵
It is always interesting when advertisers talks about class.
Especially with that Mary Hartline "magic doll". 😏
Rybutol is "Snake Oil". 🐍
Did they makevthose Dinner Napkins out of a Deer Skin?😢
Maybe...🦌
Interesting with the female voice in the Lincoln commercial. Also wonder who the target group for the UNIVAC ad might have been.
Julia Meade
How about that ashtray on the back of that Lincoln's bench seat?
People who are tempted to “bend, fold, spindle or mutilate the punch cards.”
Rybutol is mostly alcohol.

Why did the actor praising Coca Cola look like he's half drunk?
Because he was 🎵🎶 drinking rum and Coca Cola 🥤! (Andrews Sisters 1940s) 😁
10:53 I think this guy's been poppin' a few too many of those diet pills! Wow!
