Idk why, but this reel is making me so happy. The ads are so earnest, so serious, yet sometimes quirky. The lack of cynicism is palpable and enjoyable. Thanks so much for posting.
The clips from the Oklahoma-Texas game make me recall my college journalism professor James Tidwell (1948-2013), a passionate Sooner fan, great believer in a free press, and a fine person. He taught me more than I can quantify. I first took classes from him in 1979 in my home state of Indiana. He had covered sports during his years in his native Oklahoma, and he may have written about this ‘72 game. His heart was in it as a fan - of that there is no doubt! I miss professor Tidwell.
48:37 Thank you for the live recording of the 1972 ALCS with the late great Vida Blue and the Oakland A’s winning the pennant on their way to the first of three consecutive World Series wins.
VO: 18:25 Dan Ingram; 18:13 Eddie Barth; 33:00 Tom Bosley 1:59 John Erwin with an interesting on-camera appearance. 56:44 Rare on-camera appearance by Karl Weber, one of the all-time great voice-over talents.
The golden age of tv announcer voiceovers. Way before Donald Sutherland and Peter Coyote cornered the market. ;). I wonder if these early announcer guys went to Japan to do a lost in translation gig?
NBC was still using TK-41s in their Washington studios until at least '73. (There's a WRC-TV newscast from that year where they can be seen in the background.) I recall reading that ABC Sports had a backup mobile unit with TK-41s through 1978! Keep in mind that ABC ordered some of the last ones RCA built around '66. (Leonard Goldenson said the conversion to color nearly bankrupted ABC, but they had no choice but to get with the times.) Even though the tech was nearly 20 years old in 1972, the specific cameras were probably only a third of that. I would love to know when the last TK-41s were retired from regular daily use and where it was at. (Not counting ones that had been donated to a college or ABC's backup truck.)
The Sony AV-5000 an interesting machine. You would wonder if JVC was the one that burned Sony by not adopting the AV-5000 color system into the EIAJ standard. (Seems your drum is getting sticky about a 1/3 into your tape. ;)
3:07- Game 5 of the American League Championship- Oakland A's vs. the Detroit Tigers [October 12, 1972].

I find the forced humor now required in everything to be very fatiguing. Most of it isn't funny at all.
Yet, Sonny Bono proved in this 1972 tape he was no comedian either! 🤗

Thanks for the great content. I remember some of these commercials, even though it's been over 50 years!
More gold that you've unearthed. Never get tired of watching this stuff.
2:00- John Irwin (the voice of "Morris the Cat" in 9-Lives commercials- and "Reggie" on the various "ARCHIE" series) speaks for Pan Am.
He also was the voice of He-Man.
The Green Giant ad is voiced by Hershel Bernardi, who played Arnie, and voiced Charlie, the tuna who suffered from Stockholm Syndrome.

At 2:00, I would say that I would dealy love a meal, a movie and a smile. Today, it is just pretzels.
とても懐かしい映像は貴重です。素晴らしいですね！
I was 4 yrs old when this aired..geez..😅
The CBS evening/late night movie music takes me back every time I hear it.
Same with me, although the “movie” was often a rerun of Barnaby Jones!
That was later in the decade.
@brianarbenz1329 Haha or sometimes repeats of MASH or WKRP.
@@far7310 True. I also cheered when it turned to be a M*A*S*H.
14:30 Jerry Lacy of "Dark Shadows" as Bogey in a Aqua Velva commercial.
That was his forte. Mr. Lacy also appeared as Bogart in « play it again Sam ». Will have to check out dark shadows. ;).

Let me guess - he was for the As.

They couldn't have cigarette commercials, but they could have tobacco and cigar commercials?
Yes, for a few years until that changed, too.
They still had "smokeless tobacco" commercials for a while, at least through the 70's.

You mean Harcourt Fenton Mudd!
So much gold here
27:02 Man, ABC sure was using some OLD color cameras as late as 1972
ABC was early on the also ran, poor relation of the major networks. They needed to catch a break. ;).
Just noticed: ABC had Kung Fu going for it, so maybe they were just starting to be on a tear. Sports seemed to be their bag. The Roone Arledge era.

I'm fairly sure there is some buried on this channel.
