Keeping your 70s locks shiny and clean. (Johnson’s Baby Shampoo commercial, 1976)
The weekend is here and that means it’s time to roll out the commercials. We’ll title today “Grooming Day” and present spots for Johnson’s Baby Shampoo and Lectric Shave. Both spots aired in February of 1976.
I believe that’s Tim Matheson playing the “Quarterback” in the Johnson’s Shampoo commercial. He says the line: “Shampoo for babies has to be gentle.” Also, the actor in the Lectric Shave commercial is very familiar but my mind is blanking on a name. See what you think on both counts. Now, go get spruced up!
