I’ve got four freshly-unearthed commercials from 1979 on display today. We’ll start off with a CBS promo for the premiere of The Bad News Bears TV series starring Jack Warden. Following that, there’s spots for “new” Aqua-Fresh toothpaste, Nestle Toll House morsels, and All detergent. Hope you have fun.
