“Thank goodness for Banquet!”
Hi, all. Apologies for the lack of updates. Let’s get things back on track. Today, I’ve got two spots from 1973 and two from ’75.
First up, Banquet Fried Chicken (with Bill Quinn, Florida Friebus, and Mary Frann). Following that, you can enjoy commercials for the Fisher-Price Play Family Village toy, Wish-Bone Italian Dressing (with a VO by William Shatner), and United Airlines service to Hawaii. Roll ’em!
