What time is it? (Miller beer commercial, 1972)
“If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the beer.”
The weekend is here. Now comes Miller time. And Schlitz time. And guys herding animals and leaping off of sail boats. Watch the two spots below from October of 1972 for a clearer picture.

The incredible joy of bowling (1972)
“Live it up – go bowling!”
Is life passing you by? Get rollin’, go bowling! That’s good advice from the National Bowling Council in the spot from October 1972 found below.
Have a good weekend. Go bowling.

You believed in the Tidy Bowl Man, now believe in TV Tim. (RCA commercial, 1972)
“Give chassis tube problems the boot – with XL-100.”
I think I’ll let my YouTube description describe this spot as it does so in a succinct manner:
“RCA XL-100 solid state television set commercial featuring a tiny spokesman with a voice that resembles Tony Randall.”
Spot aired in October 1972. That is all. Please enjoy.
Previously on 70s Spots: Daily 70s Spot #404: American Express ‘Money Card’ (1972)
It’s Richard Spencer behind those Foster Grants…apparently. (American Express commercial, 1972)
“What’s the one thing you shouldn’t be without when you travel?”
Here’s one for American Express when the company was still referring to its slab of plastic as a “Money Card.” The spot was filmed in San Francisco and aired in October of 1972.
Previously on 70s Spots: Daily 70s Spots #403: Superior Motorhome (1972)
“14 inches wider than a van!” (Superior Motorhome commercial, 1972)
“Superior is what it says it is.”
When you need a motorhome that’s just a bit wider and taller than a van – you need a Superior. It says so in the November 1972 commercial below.
Previously on 70s Spots: Daily 70s Spot #402: Scotch Recording Tape (1972)
When you need quality cassette and 8-track recording tape. (3m Scotch commercial, 1972)
“Whether you’re recording something for kicks or for keeps…”
I’m feeling a bit 1972 this week. Yeah, let’s go with that. Here’s a fine spot for 3M Scotch recording tape featuring some nifty 1970s music. When you need to lay down some happening tunes to 8-Track – Scotch is ready to serve. Roll it!
