Post Cereal Promotions - Early 70's Commercials!!

Archie records and more. A neat group of commercials that make me long for the days...

Munsters TV Times Cover

Here's a photo of Fred Gwynne, and Yvonne DeCarlo that I've never seen before, on this August 1964 copy of The L.A. Times TV insert. Both have unusual looks on their faces.. The caption "Spooks Alive! The New Trend" Seems to be about all the offbeat/ monster sitcoms that were hot in the 1964 /1965 season. Such as The Addams Family, Bewitched, My Mother, The Car, My Favorite Martian, etc., AND The Munsters, of course.

After School TV

Remember all the cool TV shows they showed on weekday afternoons?  Sure, they were reruns of older shows, but we didn't give a hoot! Oh well, file them away with Saturday morning cartoons, I guess. I'd love to see the KING-TV line up on these latter day afternoons.

Freebirds With Gordon Solie

This is just a cool image of Gordon Solie doing an Interview with The Fabulous Freebirds in Atlanta when they were incredibly over. This would be 1981. Wrestling was good then. Even though Michael Hayes looks like he just sucked a lemon here. Is that the infamous Freebird hair creme in his hand?

Brought To You By...

A super-sharp screencap of The Flintstones Carnation Milk spot at the beginning of the show. The Flintstones were a prime time show for ABC, so not all the sponsors / commercials were kid oriented. Shows of the day usually had multiple sponsors.

Laugh-In Legal Pad

This would be a cool gift to get for any occasion! Not bad likenesses of the cast either! 1968 copyright..

The Edge Of Night!

With a cool title card like this you'd swear this would be a horror soap like Dark Shadows. No luck it was just a run-of-the-mill soap opera. It did run on CBS from 1956 - 1975, which is no small feat. Strangely in 1975, ABC picked it up, only to drop it a short while later..

Ironside Van

An MPC model kit of TV's Ironside's van. None other than George Barris built this Ford van for the TV series. I know what you're asking. Did the wheelchair come with the kit? I wish I knew. (c. 1973)

Muppets - 1963

This is a cool ad in one of the trades for Jim Henson and his Muppets. Who knew they were around in 1963?

Batgirl: ABC-TV

Here's a great promotional photo of Yvonne Craig as Batgirl. Maybe part of a press kit, or the 1966 TV Guide Fall Preview issue. Vintage photo of a great Gal..

This Is Weird.

The Rifleman # 10, (Dell, 1962) You know it had to be a rib on someone, but who? I wonder if the kid (Actor Johnny Crawford) had a clue of what was afoot? The facial expressions say much I think. This is a real comic book folks.

Munster Fun.

Here's a neat item I can't remember seeing before, The Munsters Sticker Fun coloring book. It has a neat cover, and what gets my attention is that the Marilyn actually looks like Pat Priest! The art on other Munster items don't often have a likeness of any of the Marilyns. This leads me to believe that this is from 1965. They're trying to catch that smart-ass raven in the cuckoo clock!

Tom Terrific!

Here's a great coloring book - Tom Terrific! with Mighty Manfred The Wonder Dog. Tom was a feature that was shown on Captain Kangaroo.Each adventure was in five segments, with the first four ending in cliffhangers. The fifth was the conclusion. Tom was a Terrytoons show (within the show).. If you are too young to remember Tom Terrific, I would encourage you to check the episodes on YouTube out. The episodes posted by OldCartoonTube are the whole adventure edited together in a 12 minutes cartoon.

Dracula's Grave And Gift Shop.

A neat little image from Aqua Teen Hunger Force via Adult Swim. Funny Stuff.

Mutual Of Omaha?

A cool little coloring book from my collection Wild Kingdom coloring book. Everybody old enough remembers this show! The sponsor, Mutual Of Omaha had Marlin Perkins do lead-ins to the commercials for The big insurance company. Are they in business these days?

Zacherley Will Not Die!

A great photo of Zacherley from early in his creepy career. RIP

Munster Koach In Kolor!

Great 1st season shot of the amazing Munster Koach...

RIP Zacherley.

Prince Sirki claims another great one. John Zacherle is dead at age 98. Still too soon.

Watch It, Sucker!

Lawanda Page self defense for women. A real ad? Maybe. A 

Sesame Street- Jack Davis Style!

Happy Halloween with this cool illo from a Sesame Street calendar by the great Jack Davis!
