Well, judging from the fat people shoveling down all the fried everything in those commercials, it's no wonder we're still the reigning U.S. champion of obesity.

I miss Bo-Don's and Capital Menswear (I bet he still has that mullet).

These are great. I recorded a lot of early morning Star Trek on Fox 40. But I don't have a VCR.

Off-the-Air Recordings of the first airings of Married With Children and Beavis and Butthead and a few others I can't remember, are highly saught after. If you bought MWC or B&B on DVD, you probably noticed that they cut the music out because of copyright disputes.

These almost look good enough to be the beta masters that the TV stations used. If they are home VHS then they are well preserved.

It was a dark, dark day when lawyers were permitted to advertise. I get so sick of Swartz and Morgan & Morgan & Morgan & Morgan. And it's not the fact that they advertise it is how often the TV stations air their commercials.

Love the terrible lip-sync for the Capital Menswear ad. Looks like it could have been shot in Belarus and then dubbed over to English. Great stuff!

If anyone has the complete recordings of Noel Daniels and his ventriloquist puppet then you would have a comedy goldmine!

Same for the Leadco Vinyl Siding commercials they would air nothing but vinyl siding commercials and old novie for 2 hours.

I guess enough time has gone by since the 90's that I'm beginning to realize that decade was as ugly as the 80's.

Heres a TV commercial wish list:
Waterland
Rapids on the Reservoir
Rex
Vintage Cowboy & Maloney's
Metrocenter
Bebop Record Shop
Malaco Records
E&L Barbecue
Eckerd Drug
(Any long gone restaurant)
Super D Drugs
Church's Chicken with Aunt Esther
"Do it Right, Live in Ridgeland" ad campaign
...and Noel Daniels and his puppet!

You can tell how good Fabracare was because the workers were dressed up nice!

Another blast from the past is from former personal defense mail order video cassette personality, and current Glockstore owner and YouTuber, Lenny Magill.

When Lenny recently turned 60, his team made a compilation video from his vast tape catalog.

See the hair, see the fashion, and see the guns of the 1990's!

I would love to see the old Bobby Miles Furniture and Appliance commercials.

Too bad they missed J.L.Jones and "drive a little, save a lot". Maybe that was gone by this time. Can't remember.

Don't forget his little dog . . . Puggy Jay Jones . . . I think that was the lil' dog's name.

Great nostalgia kingfish !

Plus . . . I wish someone can find of the old video of the gun show ad.
(When the sexy young girl, loads a semi-auto round into the chamber of something and then
smiles at the camera and says . . . "Sure as shoot'n, I'll probably see ya there".

You're thinking of Heather, 2:22 - the "sure as shootin'" gal. She came up in an earlier post, and someone found that gun show promo and posted it.

I have searched YouTube for the Bobby Miles Furniture and Appliance commercials and the J.L. Jones commercials. I can’t find them. I remember vividly watching WLBT with my grandparents and see those creative commercials.

"You're thinking of Heather, 2:22 "

THAT WAS HER !

Thanks 3:32.

@4:42, I honestly hope you can find some Bobby Miles commercials, and post a link.

Miles was a close friend of my family.

The man was a far cry from the image he portrayed on his commercials.
He was just as shrewd as any of the famous Jackson buisness executives of that era.

Only difference, Bobby Miles focused on selling to the working class.

He made more money than many of the Eastover/Woodland Hills "business executives".

Each TV station in the market had their own "look" that made it easy to identify who produced it (variations in how they were shot, lighting, overlays, etc.) These spots may have been on WDBD but they were produced by WJTV. The best example of this is a Metrocenter ad elsewhere on YouTube,

Those old Malaco records commercials in the 1980s and 1990s. When I was a kid i would get up and dance like the clips in the commercials. I been strokin

How did all of you forget "Wear your coat, there's no heat" or The Leadco Shuffle????

I second the Leadco Shuffle. I looked for it when Tom Lester died earlier this year and can't find it anywhere.

The ice cream and MP&L commercials.

The weather, the weather, what's it gonna be? Here is Reddy Kilowatt to show you on TV.
