“We take our kids seriously.”

Alrighty, it’s time to get all the way back to the Seventies. Here’s a selection of vintage commercials from approximately 1970 to 1974. We start off with a nifty ABC promo for their “Funshine Saturday” TV line-up. This one brings back fond memories of age seven or so. You may find some warm fuzzies therein yourself.

Following that, soak up spots for Green Giant Corn Niblets, Philco Ford TV sets (with James Harder), and Vanquish pain formula.
