Native NYC/Tristate Area Old School TV/Radio Ad Thread

Because they heard about it from you via this thread or through some other means such as the radio? Also how do they know who Carol and Paula are, is the show still being rerun?

Just learned its spelled Carole

from me via this thread!

they grew up with the dvd

Ah, forgot about that part of parenthood. Did the same with mine and Schoolhouse Rock, for example.

Perhaps you can find it in your heart to take them to another event at a later date.

these vests are harshing the sexual stirrings that made me such a fan

OMG

I wonder if I can get anyone to go with me to see Carole and Paula when they come to Woodstock.

Couldn't remember the name of Cap'n Jack McCarthy and for a bit was thinking he covered the Parade on Thanksgiving and not St. Patrick's Day. D'oh!!

Holy shit I just had a Proustian moment when clicking on that Milford Plaza commercial way at the top.

Okay, he definitely saw /The Tales of Hoffmann/ there: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/nov/21/martin-scorsese-3d-interview-kermode🕸

In New York, there was a television show called the Million Dollar Movie, which would show a film twice a night for a week. And so one week it would be Citizen Kane. Edited. With commercials. And with the "News on the March" sequence missing. Ha! That was the first time I'd ever seen it! Then, you know, you'd get The Third Man, with half the film cut out. But one of the films they showed was Powell and Pressburger's The Tales of Hoffmann. And it was cut down to about an hour and 40 minutes or so, black-and-white, with commercials. And it had a quality like The Red Shoes – a darkness, and a humour

Let me see if I can fix post before last.
Attempts to Inspire Regional Pride That Actually Work On You

Looks like the guy who played Bozo on WPIX back in the day just passed.

Nobody Beats the WIZ jingle is a glaring omission.

"(Ain't nobody gonna beat the WIZ)"

Also:

"Leave off the last S for Savings" (dial a mattress)
"All you have to do is whistle at PC Richards"
"Someone made a store just for meeee (Food Emporium, Food Emporium)"

"The magic, the mystery, the memory will live forever"

This just popped in my head, don’t think we mentioned yet:

“You’ll love it at Levitz.”

The Wiz was mentioned way upthread, remember looking for a video but couldn’t pick one that seemed canonical.

So it is, as well it should be. Not sure how I missed that.
I couldn't find a video that seemed canonical, either.

Like they all seemed from too late in the game, all the ones I could find anyway.

Don’t remember this place having TV ads but posting this link anyway. Seem to remember it lasting longer than this date.

Did find this Korvettes ad though, which I don’t remember, but it does seem to accurately represent the store:

And another one for the fashion wing, The Other Korvettes, of which I have no memory:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7eueSrwaEQ

There are a couple of early ones on Youtube now but they're not representative samples.
This one has the older jingle, the later jingle I had in mind was more ostentatious.

Finally, this one features the Korvettes department I spent the most time in:

Korvette's was before my time. I remember the site of the Douglaston Pkwy location as Toys R Us and its record department as Movie World.

Watching those extended blocks of commercials is some serious La jetée-level time travel stuff.

RIP Sy Sperling.

Ok I’m three vids in and just remembered every word to the mt airy lodge song. This is already my fave thread.

Omg the Dagastino commercial. Aww I’m getting crazy nostalgic now.

He’s the Listener DJ, I’m the Listener Rapper (James Redd and the Blecchs)

“You’ll love it at Levitz.”

Popped into my head before I even clicked play.

I never actually went there but were Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom commercials aired a lot? I remember those and the Action Park ones.

Jerry and Anne did these for years
