Here is a rare look behind the scene, deep into the large milkshake cup of McDonaldland commercials.
This was aimed at one thing only, consumerism in the 1970s. This commercial was filmed in 1973, obviously with a serious face at selling jumping Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and a moving Hamburger Patch.
All through this, I was waiting for the children to terrorize and consume the living food.

Here's a Canadian commercial from 1971 advertising Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yes, it was still Kentucky Fried Chicken then (not the lamentable KFC acronym) and, yes, Canada used to be that overwhelmingly Caucasian back then.

Beginning in 1973 Telly Savalas used his considerable charisma to breathe a little life into this look at a New York detective. Helped by some good location filming in the Big Apple and fairly realistic plots, not to mention that "New York" attitude, Kojak will always stand as an above average 70's cop show.

Like most boxing fans, Howard Cosell figured 32-year-old Muhammad Ali had no chance to regain the world heavyweight title whe he stepped into the ring to face 25-year-old George Foreman in Zaire in 1974. (Ali won by an eighth-round knockout.) In 1964 Cosell picked Sonny Liston to beat Ali (then Cassius Clay) in one round. Clay won the title that night when Liston failed to come out for the seventh round.

A 1980s-era commercial for Operation, the poopular kids game. (Somewhere in my closet, I still have one I got as a birthday present in the early 1970s.)
