Hi all,
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, and I apologize if it has, but I recently purchased a 2 DVD set from Madacy Entertainment called "TV Favorites: Classic Commercials".
It features over 3-1/2 hours of commercials from the 40's to the 70's.
Now, the quality of these spots is not always mind-blowing, but the list price (about 10-12 bucks) makes it quite the steal, especially considering it has muppet ties.
First and most obviously muppet-related is the Wilkins coffee commercial which is on disc one. When I first watched this DVD, I was totally in shock when I saw that one.
The second disc has a Cool Whip commercial featuring Loretta Long from Sesame Street.
I would recommend this set to anyone interested in TV history. It's really a fun set at a good price. Plus, you get to see Barney Rubble and Fred Flinstone as spokesmen for Winston cigarettes!
Anyway, I'm getting off track here, but I though you'd like to know...
