Today’s tenuous theme for our new batch of seventies commercials is “1973.” First up, it’s The Partridge Family with an ABC promo implying that Reuben Kincaid is a father figure. I never really looked at it that way before.

After that, it’s the debut of the Pontiac Grand Am, F. Murray Abraham for Listerine, and lastly, a spot for Total Cereal. Have a magnificent weekend!
