- These commercials aired on NBC on March 26th and April 9th, 1981
1. Diet Rite (Partial)
2. ACME (They make great anvils)
3. The Dime Savings Bank of New York
4. NBC Station ID
5. Independent Insurance Agents of America
6. Total
7. Sears Four Piece Suit
8. Honda Accord
9. Countrytime Lemonade
10. Promo for "Harper Valley PTA", "The Brady Brides" and "Nero Wolfe"
11. Promo for "The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox"
12. Quaker State (I'm pretty sure this is Hardy Rawls, who later played the Dad on "The Adventure of Pete & Pete")
13. 3 Musketeers
14. "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" Commercial Bumper
15. Promo for "Command Performance" (This was aired only 4 days before the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan on March 30th)
16. Aunt Millie's Spaghetti Sauce (The recipe for spaghetti sauce taught to Michael Corleone in "The Godfather" included sugar! Aunt Millie is a hack fraud)
17. WNBC News Bumper (I wish people made up stories about me getting into drunken arguments with Henry Kissinger: www.nytimes.com...)
18. Hallmark (I'm pretty sure this is Nancy McKeon from "The Facts of Life")
19. Crest
20. Promo for "Barbara Mandrell & The Mandrell Sisters", "Hill Street Blues" and "Saturday Night Live"
21. Arco Graphite
22. Don Lan for Governor (The commercials starting here are from 4/9/81. These mannequins are seriously creepy and the second from the left at 8:26 looks eerily like JFK)
23. Syms
24. Arco Graphite
25. Pizza Hut
26. Undie L'eggs (With Joyce DeWitt)
27. TV Spot for "Star Wars" (This re-release was where the subtitle "A New Hope" was first added to the opening crawl. All of the footage here is taken directly from the original 1976 theatrical trailer that used unfinished footage: • Star Wars - Original T... , which is why you hear some on-set temp dialogue tracks and Obi Wan's lightsaber is missing the animation over it)
28. Promo for "Harper Valley PTA", "The Brady Brides" and "Nero Wolfe"
29. Promo for "Bob Hope's Spring Fling" and "George Burns in Nashville???"
30. Cycle Dog Food (Like dogs care what color it is)
31. Anacin (I want a dangerously high amount of pain relief!)
32. "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" Commercial Bumper
33. Promo for "Dial M For Murder"
34. TV Spot for "The Private Eyes" (This must have been a re-release, as it was originally released in 1980. I actually had no idea that Don Knotts and Tim Conway were in other movies besides the two "Apple Dumpling Gang" films. Obviously I have a lot to learn)
35. WNBC News Bumper (The Governor of New York then was Hugh Carey, who later described this marriage as "his greatest failure")
36. No Nonsense Comfort Stride (My apologies to everyone for that "STOooOOP" at the beginning...)
37. Walker
38. Promo for "Barbara Mandrell & The Mandrell Sisters" (Is that supposed to be dancing?), "Crash Island" (Looks fun!) "Hill Street Blues" and "Saturday Night Live"
39. Promo for "Daffy Duck's Easter Show", "The Berenstain Bears' Easter Surprise" and "B.J. and the Bear"
40. Oldsmobile
41. Star-Kist (I still think its bizarre that their advertising campaign back then featured a cartoon beatnik tuna fish that WANTED to be eaten)
42. Promo for "CHiPs" (A go-kart menace!) and "Fugitive From The Empire" (Looks cheesy and awesome!) and "Heaven on Earth"
43. Promo for "The NBC Nightly News" (The maiden flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia was originally scheduled to take place the next day, but was delayed due to an issue with the on-board computer. The actual flight took place on April 12th, 1981: en.wikipedia.o...)
44. NBC News Update
a. Senate Budget Committee rejects Reagan's budget (I guess Leon Panetta never looked young. The bit about Reagan "coming off the bench" is in reference to the aforementioned assassination attempt 9 days earlier. At this point he was still recovering in the hospital from surgery and returned to the White House on April 11th)
b. Body of black male found in Atlanta (Again referring to the Atlanta Child Murders: en.wikipedia.o...)
45. Volkswagen Jetta
46. Pepsi Light (Apparently Pepsi advocates streaking)
47. Stouffer's Pouch Side Dishes
48. WNBC News Bumper
49. The NBC Thursday Night at the Movies Intro

Great video! I like that Pepsi Light commercial. And Joyce Dewitt, love her!
Thanks for compiling all of these older commercials and for your work of listing them as well.
"She's beautiful, Rich, and about to be strangled" hahaha that narrator on Dial 'M' for Murder.
It seems like Total must have had one of the biggest advertising campaigns of any cereal in the 80s. It felt like their commercials were always on. I remember the ones where they would stack up the cereal bowls to show how many bowls of the other guy's cereal you'd have to eat to equal one bowl of Total.
It wasn't advertised anywhere close to the amount that cereals aimed at kids were. I've actually only posted a few ads for it over 8 years and nearly 500 volumes of commercials.
I remember that Pizza Hut debuted the pan pizza in the fall of 1980. It was a lot better then than it is now.
6:55 John Pankow (with hair LOL) who played Paul Reiser's cousin Ira Buchman on the NBC sitcom "Mad About You (1992-1997). Mr. Pankow is currently on a hit Showtime show with Matt LeBlanc called "Episodes".
Love these!! Excellent collection. Thank you 💗💗💗💗
2:12 - some people may be checking their phones to see if they're ringing!
Frank Field from WNBC hopped around to 4 different stations in his weather career in New York.
That NBC movie intro I have never seen before!
STAHHHHHHHHP!
So funny! I'm sure that noise wasn't attributed to a phone ringing back then!
OMG, I would love to see SNL again! These were the best times!
He hates these cans. Stay away from the cans!
Interest rates we,re great. You could make $1200 a year on $10000.
"This is an 81 Honda, how DARE you!"
08:41 - the mannequin with the glasses looks hilariously like warren zevon on his 'excitable boy' album...
Syms was the store for Ralph Lauren Polo on the cheap.
pizza hut pizza looks nothing like that today
manual transmission accord, i miss those
I knew there was Pepsi light. I used to love that
Remember when all women were wearing Tootsie glasses? 8:55
14:26 - The way the guy reacts, I think he wants to murder his mother in law, not just complain about her muffler. He is holding some violence in, and it's most likely going to explode during this visit.
16:33 - "Five major motion pictures will be about swords and sorcerers this summer. This Sunday, you can see the first!" Wow, you know a studio has no confidence in their movie when the only thing they can think to say about it is that they pushed theirs out first. We're not the best, we're just the first!
TV networks typically don't brag about the quality of low budget made-for-TV movies. Capitalizing on the impending blitz of fantasy films (driven by the nationwide obsession with Dungeons and Dragons) was smart.
that was jo in the hallmark commerical
That is a cool sighting!
That was the ad that got her the job on "Facts of Life" :)
10:54 That was the year I was born and the first time my family took me to see star wars. when I was a 2 month old baby my earliest memory.
ACME ad-that was Alan Hamell(sp)-Suzanne Somers's husband
Command Performance-Christopher Cross looked like he wasnt exactly thrilled to be there..
That Hallmark ad seemed a bit too creepy..
Pizza Hut-"OOOHHH..AHHHHH.." too bad their pizza doesnt make you react like that nowadays
Dial M For Murder-looks like they gave away what happens to her(never saw the movie myself,btw)
Hill Street Blues promo-i dont think i can un-see that LOL
Fugitive From The Empire-a.k.a "The Archer",another pilot which didnt get picked up for a series
Never knew Alan Hamel was doing any promos for grocery chains on the East Coast (thought he only did Alpha-Beta spots)
And regarding the Hallmark ad; that indeed was Nancy McKeon (saw a Facts of Life retrospective that mentioned that ad was the one that an NBC executive noticed her on and decided to cast her for that series).
Regarding the comment about Leon Panetta "never looking young" in the description; I guess the cheap rug doesn't help him look younger.
Re: "Dial M For Murder", if this TV remake was anything like the original, the wife grabs a pair of scissors from the table while being strangled and kills her attacker: ruclips.net/video/LBoL2vMJkCs/видео.htmlm1s
You just kicked in a memory from my childhood with the "Dial M for Murder" description. I'm trying to remember if it was the remake or an episode from a show. I just remember the woman stabbing the man in the back. I can't recall if he was trying to kill or rape her. I do remember looking at my dad with a grimace on my face.
I forgot about the Brady Brides!
It's possible to add raisins to Total. Problem solved.
Is it just me or were most of the narrators and announcers in 80's commercials were old/middle-aged men?
17:23 R.I.P Jessica Savitch....you died a horrible death.
I AGREE 8:26 the JFK looking mannequin EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
ACME : American Company Making Everything .
Could Companies defame their competitors in advertisements without getting sued? They clearly show a bottle of Ragu then they say it sucks because they add sugar and other preservatives.
There's no law against it as long as the claims made are true.
Conway...
I guess because SNL had a lousy season, they had to resort to a good repeat.
The show's future was very much in doubt at that point.
10:24 Joyce DeWitt....BOING!!!
