This review is from: Classic TV Commercials: Ones We Never Forgot (DVD)

Running time for ST. CLAIR's CLASSIC TV COMMERCIALS (including bonus features) is 6 hours, 15 minutes on three single side-recorded DVDs. There's lots of one-minute and longer ads among the 337 here (in the old days, advertisers weren't limited to 30 second spots). The era spanned is 1950 to '80 and products featured include household items, toys and foods. Also here are gadgets and products that disappeared almost as soon as they were introduced.

For Boomers and Seniors who had their rabbit ears on back in TV's Golden Age, the commercials in this set will surely evoke fond memories, while younger folks will get an interesting peek at a quaint and unrecognizable past.


The perfect companion for this collection is CLASSIC TV COMMERCIALS: WHAT WE LUSTED FOR, also from ST. CLAIR. Or, get all 6 DVDs combined on their TV COMMERCIALS- THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION.
