When I was a little boy I remembered my parents got one. I still have a picture my dad took of me setting back in a chair on my 13th birthday. I remember him saying like it was yesterday Happy birthday son. a lot of good memories. Now both my parents are dead and one of my sisters from suicide. I would trade everything I own just to spend one more day with them.
I'm so sorry for your loss! But I'm glad you still have such vivid (happy) memories. I look forward to the day when we're all reunited in Heaven 💚
You are not the only one. I feel mostly everybody that lost and grieved and mourned would love to have our dearly departed back.
I like most had a mum, a dad, brother and sisters. Great grandmother and father still living and both sets of grandparents.
All now gone less my brother.
But to go back to then I'd have to sacrifice the children and grandchildren I have now.
Beautifully put. I know what you are feeling.
My parents had the same camera when I was a kid. The photos were usually over exposed, grainy, or blurred, but it still managed to capture the magic of holidays in the late 60s and early 70s.
What do you expect from 126 film format? The quality of this film was poor, regardless of the camera. If you wanted an easy camera that produced high quality prints, you had to buy a Polaroid.
@@Nikes62 I had a Minolta from the late 1960s that used the 126 film cartridge. I mostly shot slide/transparency film and, in many cases, the photos turned out very well. Shooting print film . . . not so much. One key was to slowly squeeze the shutter button, rather than pushing it down hard, which would move the camera just as the shutter opened, blurring the image.
I can still smell the flash cube after burn. Liz could sell sand at the beach, what a doll!
I used to have one of those. Around 1970. I still have photos I took with it that are 50 years old.
Used to have one of those Instamatics. The flash cube brought back memories. 4 flashes per cube, then throw it away
@Kristinn Sveinn not the camera, the flash cube
@@mvellis3863 A while back I saw Kodak disposable digital cameras. The idea was like with a regular disposable, you take the pictures, send the camera in, and get the pictures back... it was a dumb idea.
Remember all of the Kodak huts all over town to drop your film off and pick it up there in a couple of days?
My brother passed away in 1973 at age 23 [I was 7]. and I was given his instamatic camera he had bought while in the navy. I still have it. Doesn't work though but, still I hold onto it for obvious reasons.
@@mvellis3863 Wait, you are not meant to throw out the camera?
Should have said "Taking pictures with the Kodak instamatic is easier than witchcraft. For everyone else, it's just like magic." Why didn't Darrin think of that?
Witches can't be photographed ;-)
My family had an Instamatic.
Good times, good times!
📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸
I vividly remember how Kodak used to be the "life blood" of Rochester, NY--the main HQ was there-and generations of families worked there--now there's essentially nothing there to remind you of the glory days there
They were late to get on the digital train. They are still there making film and they have a bunch of other things that they are up to now. Maybe one day they will make a come back!
Yes I had a college friend that worked there in the 80,s. Who woulda ever thunk!!!!!? However we did advance to a digital world then came the smart phone. The world would never be the same again!!!!!
@@LittleKodaks Didn't they loose a huge suit to Polaroid over patent infringement and prior to the award they were barred from manufacturing those type cameras, film and attachments? Seems all that started their downfall and If I recall correctly, it was the largest award/settlement of that type in US history. Plus they lost a bundle on their investment in that type equipment.
@@alfveeighton6670 Hi, you’re thinking of the suit with over the instant film, these are the Instamatic cameras that used the 126 film. Entirely different.
@@LittleKodaks Yes, thanks. I knew these were different. We had a very similar one to this in the late 1960's. Good little camera, especially for the price. I was mainly commenting on one of the reasons that Kodak lost a lot of its market share that was being discussed.
Liz could peddle an empty potato sack and I would buy many of them. ;)
RIP, Liz.
She would have looked really good in one too!
My father would watch Bewitched just to ogle at her and tell my mother, "She looks good in anything or without anything!"
As long as she was in them.
@@Tazzman225: What, you mean back in the late '60s?
@@floogelhornzzz4770 --- Any episode that showed Liz wearing those tight clothes. It could the 60s, 70s or when the show went in reruns.
I got one for my 8th birthday in 1971. My first camera. I used those kind that used the 126 film throughout the 70's.
OMG ! I grew up with these two gorgeous ladies and owned that very camera. :-)
I remember my first ! 1963 Christmas gift from my parents ♡♡♡
Mine was in '66. My mom wrote "open me first" on the Santa tag..
@@02chevyguy
That's funny because my mother handed me the box beautifully wrapped and told me;
I want you to open this first before anyone else - ♡♡♡
My mother died tragically young. I picked up & just left with my camera. I don't have all the things my mother gave me & made for me; just a few things. I honestly don't know how over the yrs I didn't lose/get rid of this camera. Anyways, its really a beautiful memory. Good night now-
When you're old enough to remember loading a camera like that...😥
Isn’t that marvellous? You have been witnessing so much change in the world. Not always good changes, I must admit, but you must have experienced so many good things in your life. For instance, loading a camera like that from the commercial. Many of the simple things that new generations will never have the luxury of experiencing.
These cameras worked like magic hehe. Now we have mobile phone cameras thanks to progress.
Thank You for bringing back happy memories of when I got this camera for my ninth birthday in 1968. It took the 126 cartridge. I was still using this camera in 1992. I love BEWITCHED. It's my favorite TV Show of all time. I watch an episode every night on my DVD'S.
Lovely!!!! Both actresses seems to enjoy making this tv advice.
I'd seem to enjoy it alot too if KODAK Corp was my sponsor for my tv show (like it was at the time for BEWITCHED) paying the show's production millions of dollars each season 😃
Thumbs up if you remember the smell when you opened the film packet
My mom had that exact camera and took all of the family pictures like the first day of school and other things with it from Kindergarten to graduation in 1987. She might even still have if for all I know. Gonna ask her.
So, what'd she say?
Such a wonderful trip back down memory lane. Thank you.
Back in the 60's & 70's that's what my Mom took all the family pictures with.
Cameras such as that one has sure come a long way .
Coo commercial, Bewitched is one of the best shows ever!
I remember sometimes the cubes wouldn't flash. What a beautiful subject to photograph, though.
Amen to that! Elizabeth Montgomery was a real beauty.
@@Lava1964: Amen is biblical, which kills witches.
Omgoodness I remember that camera...I had one myself! Wow, that was so long ago... those were the good old days, i believe..miss them alot
This commerical brought back good memories during that age. About the sixth grade I used my meager monies to buy a little Kodack camera and took pictures of family that only visited once a year to our farm. The rest of the pics were of livestock, barns, tractors, etc. My parents rarely took pictures and hated to pay for processing, but they finally did that for my birthday. There were some great pictures by chance, and all the visiting relatives took them for themselves when they returned. Left me a little heart broken when my parents made me give them up.
Awesome memories!
That was a revolution in cameras. Made it so everyone could take pictures.
It really did! Kodak brought cameras to the masses
Great commercial.
Classic..but it was weird seeing Endora POP IN..and NO SOUND AFFECT / POP IN noise
This is how it aired. I guess they forgot!
WHO CARES?? Wow, some people have an awful lot of time on their hands to worry about such nonsense, great video, RIP to Agnes Moorehead and Elizabeth Montgomery.
For some reason they didn't use the sound effects on any of the sponsor spots filmed in season 3 or 4. The Savings Bonds ad is the same way.
@@stmichl9433 No need to rude to those who have different opinions.
@@stmichl9433 Blah Blah Blah
It's kind of a trip to sometimes look at some of these old commercials. So I can relive the past I guess
I never knew this existed! I love it!
Perfectly in character. I love it. But it seems so weird that this aired when I was only 5. When I was watching it in the 70s it was already well into re-runs.
Yah, I remember, but that flash was was a killer on the eyes
It really is a bright flash!
I didn't know, or don't remember, Elizabeth Montgomery or Agnes Moorehead ever did any commercials for a product. Of course they both did a great job playing their TV show characters selling the old Kodak Instamatic cameras that were very popular at that time.
I had one of those in high school with the flash cubes. It took great pictures.
Wish I kept mine still and my 110 camera
OMG I had 1 of those!! Loved it…
I had one of these!
Yeah I carried one in Vietnam took a lot of pictures of dead VC man I'm flashing back now to tet 68
Did the "Me So Horny" girl's brother steal it from you?! 😜🤣😂
@@clairfayne no believe it or not it went through the war with me it wasn't until some Afro broken into my apartment and stolen along with my eight-track stereo and color TV that I lost it Stateside in 1977... yeah I enjoyed the Vietnam experience I was able to let my enter Dexter come out and trust me I carved up a lot of VC
I remember these well. Not all hopped on, as a 128 camera cost less, with slightly better image quality. You had to advance the film manually, of course.
Same with my "Hawkeye Instamatic". Also had to turn the flashcube too.
I just looked -- no instamatic or disc film on Walmart Web site. That's not too surprising. You can still get a few varieties of 35MM. I don't even know if my Olympus cameras still work.
Love elizabeth. In one chapter she look to the camera an says happy christmas.... this video is the second time.. i love her. Rip.
Interesting that they didn’t use any of the magic sound effects from the show, like when Endora appears and when “Kodak” appears at the end.
Kids these days wouldn't even know who Kodak is !
Trying to keep it alive!
What a Strange Camera. Love That Gorgeous Blonde Samantha.
So did lots of other men... That's why her show BEWITCHED lasted 9 seasons (with 35 episodes each season of each year) 😃
Gosh, 2020 cameras would seem like witchcraft. I remember being amazed at video cassette recorders...
I remember the one where Elizabeth said, "Literally anyone can do it" pronounced 'litchrally'
Classic mid-Atlantic accent.
cute ad, who didnt own this camera , it was all so much simpler back then,..
A TESTAMENT TO HOW POPULAR BEWITCHED WAS AND CELEBRITIES SELL!!
I was 2 years old.
I actually have one of those!
Samantha I love you 🔥
Agnes Moorehead was such a classic hottie.
"Hottie"??? I hope you're talking about her when she was 25, because as much as I love her during the Endora years, she was rather frightful looking.
1968...rather be there than 2021
Yeah, but we're not.
Strange with no sound effect with endora popping in
The only thing that bugs me about this commercial is you don't see Samantha advance the film lever to the first picture a few times after she closes the camera. I mean you did have to do that unless the camera had an auto winder to do it automatically.
Anyone remember Brownies?
I baked a pan of some last week.
@@vulcan2882 LOL! Not exactly what I meant. Anyone else?
@@dianetheisen8664 I don't remember them personally but I do know what they are :=)
@@jaymartin8273 In an episode of Bewitched the Brownie is specifically mentioned by Larry Tate. It's the episode where Samantha casts a spell on Darrin to paint Louise's portrait.
@@dianetheisen8664 Really? Cool, I'll have to check that out some time :=)
I had to skip a commercial to watch a ... commercial
I know! It's silly sometimes.
Wasn’t that cheap . $19 in today’s money would be $145
Exactly
That's very much in line with what pocket cameras cost today.
"I'd buy that for a dollar!" 😉
I'm sorry Samantha. Those inexpensive 126 cartridge cameras never did take sharp pictures. I don't think you can even buy 126 film anymore. There are RUclips videos that show you how to perform surgery on a 126 cartridge and install 35mm film in one, but who wants to do that. Witchcraft is just easier.
They start at less than $19, let me guess, they start at $18.99.
Do they sell these at Best Buy?
Nope, you'll have to travel back in time and visit a Service Merchandise or Montgomery Ward.
I just used my phone. It takes video too
These were PAPER PICTURES you could hold in your hand... Remember Einstein?
It wouldn't work witches will not photograph. They will come out blurry or blemishes on the picture.
WRONG... 😝 That was only Genies ... Witches COULD be photographed... And there were episodes where they were... In one case Samantha turned her doctor Dr. Bombay into a life size photograph and slipped him under the front door 😆
@@michaelgrant7322 Yes, I remember when Major Nelson took Jeannie to get her license or passport and none of the photos they took of her worked. lol
McMahon and Tate made this commercial
Thanks for the info!
And then you take the film to the drug store to get the pictures developed. Seems so long ago!!!
Yeah, you couldn't take naked pictures because you knew that the developers would have to see them 😂😂😂😂
😅
Why didn't she wriggle her nose to take.a picture
Because her multimillion dollar sponsor KODAK wouldn't give them the yearly 10 million dollars in sponsor fees for each season if she did 😂
I just wanted to tell you that the Lord Jesus Christ loves you very much and died on the cross at Calvary for you good you can accept Jesus as your savior anytime you want. Please read the Holy Bible preferably King James version and read 1st Corinthians 15, verse 1 through verse 4 they're that basically tells you the Gospel of Jesus Christ
AMEN (now please go door to door and witness to people if you want to enter the kingdom of heaven)
@@michaelgrant7322 thank you for your call back for right now at my age and in my physical condition I'm not up to going door-to-door so I used to do that care now I mainly Witness by getting on the Internet and leaving my comments plus whenever I go anywhere I take tracks in me and I mail tracks people bed right now I walk with a walker until 4 but I really wouldn't be up to going door-to-door okay but thanks for the comment and God bless you
Religious comments on RUclips threads are counterproductive to your cause of spreading the Gospel, because they are out of place and end up turning people off, not inspiring them to listen. It's spam, is what it is.
Smile; you're dead!
Bought, why not just conjure it?
That WAS the commercial joke... They could just whip up a photograph of each other with witchcraft, and in some episodes they did just that.... But here the ad gimmick was "For Mortals, they can now take a picture as easy as using witchcraft" ☺
Interesting work usage: conjure. I don't recall Sam, Endora, Derwood, or any character on the show ever use that word to describe the act of making something magically appear with witchcraft.
@@Cosmo-Kramer They used it... They used it jokingingly... Darrin used to say rudely when Endora would bring her daughter a gift from somewhere "And what's in the box now Endora, something you Conjured up from bats wings and eels eyes" (it seemed to be his way to down her expensive elaborate gifts she would bring her daughter from different parts of the world BECAUSE he could not ever afford to buy gifts like that for his wife)
@@michaelgrant7322 Gotcha. Okay, I can hear Derwood saying that. But did any of the witches or warlocks use the word? I don't remember it being part of their vernacular.
@@Cosmo-Kramer I can't remember... But IF they DID... it would probably be in either season 1 or 2 (because those were the most controversial seasons, before tv started becoming more "cafeteria") Like I remember Samantha being so angry because every friend Samantha would bring over to have coffee and chat with, he immediately accused her of it being ANOTHER WITCH (even if it was just a mortal friend) .. So she stared at him in the eye and said very seriously "ALRIGHT YOUR RIGHT, ALL MY FRIENDS ARE WITCHES DARRIN, AND WE ARE JUST PLANNING THE RIGHT TIME TO SWOOP DOWN HERE ON MORNING GLORY CIRCLE AND CLAIM IT IN THE NAME OF BEHELLZABOB" (then proceeded to use her witchcraft to open the oven, magically check her roast, baste it by levetating the baster, and putting it back in) The whole time he just had his eyes 👀 wide open looking scared 😨 hahahaha
They couldn't get permission to use the witch sound effects. How odd.
That's weird because they used the characters, the set, but just no pop in mingle!!!!
That's not necessarily true... It's more likely that the COMMERCIALS were filmed independently by the sponsors hired production who film tv commercials ... Not the show's production company... And the sponsors commercial company didn't even think about adding the show's sound effects.. Probably didn't seem important to them at the time... WHILE OTHER COMMERCIAL COMPANYS that sponsored BEWITCHED like "Clairol Hair Spray" of which there is another Samantha commercial floating around I saw.. DID bother to add the sound effects on their company's commercials...
