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!!

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

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

Seem to remember it lasting longer than this date.https://www.nytimes.com/1977/11/27/archives/jimmys-music-world-scratched-high-hopes-of-jimmys-music-world.htmlDid find this Korvettes ad though, which I don’t remember, but it does seem to accurately represent the store:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7i5KdtfJM8

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc0LZGOoFSA

I’m still stuck on the Dagostino one. I remember as a kid on Long Island thinking that it was such a real city supermarket. Years later I transferred to NYU and was housed in a midtown hotel during my first semester. The day I moved in my mom took me to a Dagostino to get groceries and I remember thinking - Wow I really live in the city now! Lol.
