*“Buried Treasure” commercials appeared on the Bionic Disco YouTube channel but not here on the website.*
I’m getting behind on my catching up. Here’s a dandy batch of seventies commercials that haven’t yet appeared on the website. From 1978, you’ll find Johnson’s Baby Shampoo (with Fran Tarkenton), and Chrysler Newport (with Hal Linden). From 1976, enjoy Brylcreem (with Mickey Mantle) and Lincoln Continental (with John Houseman).
