A pair of Pizza Hut commercials delivered hot ‘n’ 40 year-old fresh for you now. The first spot aired in January of 1977 and has a “Good Things” jingle. The second, brings in the “SuperStyle” theme and aired in October of 1978. Mangia, mangia!
A pair of commercials to help keep you dry today. One for Tickle deodorant from April of 1977. And one from the previous year for Ban Roll-On. Try them on below.
Back to our regularly-scheduled commercials today. First up, a spot I particularly like as it features my hometown team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, for Swanson Hungry-Man TV dinners.
Second, a spot for Brown ‘N Serve Sausage. Both commercials aired in November of 1978.

The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family Christmas L.P.s (1970/1971)
Merry Christmas everyone! To celebrate the day we’re blending together two segments – Brady Bunch Moments and Partridge Pop – into one glorious explosion of holiday cheer. A messy and fun December treat!
BRADY BUNCH MOMENTS
The Bradys looking a mite uncomfortable for Christmas
In this edition of Brady Bunch Moments we feature the first season episode of The Brady Bunch from December 19, 1969. Carol loses her voice and lo-and-behold gets it back just in time to sing for Christmas. It’s a gol’ dang miracle!
The Brady Bunch, ‘O Come All Ye Faithful,’ December, 1969
PARTRIDGE POP
There’s probably a clever joke to made here about Partridges and pear trees – but I’m feeling lazy
On Partridge Pop, we bring you a holiday nugget from season two, “Don’t Bring Your Guns To Town, Santa,” which originally aired on December 11, 1971. Stick with the clip through the first few moments to watch the family sing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and cavort around the tree.

Here’s our final Chritsmasy commercial for the year. This one features Dick Van Dyke and Kodak’s Colorburst Instant Camera. The spot aired in November of 1978.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
