From March 2019 to January 2021 this website was on hiatus. During that time, I continued posting seventies commercials to the Bionic Disco YouTube channel. Since those worthy spots have not appeared here, I’m occasionally going to post the best ones with a “Buried Treasures” title.
Here’s a first “best of” batch featuring Don Adams for Skittle-Pool, Bob Hope for Ford Galaxie, Red Lobster, and Chevy Monza.
