These commercials aired on NBC on September 28th, 1979
1. Promo for "BJ And The Bear" ("He's got a monkey with him!"..."Sure does!". The plot of this show seems to be "Truck Driving man with pet chimp hooks up with random women across the country")
2. Promo for "The Dating Game" (Bachelor #2 is a complete psychopath...)
3. "Midnight Special" Commercial Bumper
4. Promo for "The Kid From Left Field"
5. Promo for "Prime Time Sunday"
6. Promo for "Chico And The Man"
7. WAFF Station ID
8. Pretty Feet & Hands
9. Scope
10. Sure
11. Stayfree Mini-Pads (What's with all of these women forcing products on other people?)
12. Schlitz
13. TV Spot for "The Amityville Horror" (AWESOME. The "Theater or Drive-In" at the end is just icing on the cake)
14. Minolta XG-1 (With Bruce Jenner)
15. Massengill Disposable Douche
16. Lancers (This is super random but the "rock star" here is played by Franc Luz...the same actor who went on to play the mullet dad on that "Free Spirit" sitcom I was posting commercials from a few months ago i.imgur.com/GxZNnXW.png)
17. TV Spot for "Life Of Brian" (I know that this movie caused some controversy among Catholics when it premiered...I wonder how it went over in the Bible Belt where these were recorded?)
18. U.S. Navy
19. Pamprin
20. "Midnight Special" End Credits
21. Promo for "Little House On The Prairie" and "The Tonight Show 17th Anniversary Special"
22. Promo for "NFL Football"
23. WAFF News Bumper
24. "A Seed From The Sower" Devotional (Michael Guido died in 2009 at age 94)
25. WAFF Station Sign-Off
26. Army National Guard Sign-Off (I really like the low-key piano version of the Star Spangled Banner here. I wonder just how many different sign-offs like this were produced back then?)

“We’re watching you!” What a creepy motto for a local station. Sign offs, off air signs, and technical difficulty bumpers scared the crap out of me as a kid.

@Sean Wilkinson Those emergency broadcast tests freaked out my family's cat in the 1980's. When that sound came on, he ran for dear life!

I was wondering when I'd finally see some from my area. WAFF is still here.

Huntsville native. In my 20s and a former media communications major. Finding local vintage broadcasts makes the comms nerd in me happy.

Remembered hearing those Seed From the Sower spots often as a kid. Never knew there was a television version of those devotionals.

You mean there were radio versions of these too? I never knew that. All I’ve seen are these TV versions.

In that Massengill commercial, the girl on the left is Jayne Modean, who did tons of commercials in the late '70s and early '80s and occasionally guested on TV series. She still doesn't look that different today from when she was younger.

BJ and The Bear-i consider this to be the tv series version of Every Which Way But Loose The Dating Game -so what happened to the other women you dated, Bachelor #2.. Amityville Horror -Percy Rodrigues and Adolph Caesar were killing it with the trailer voice-overs for horror movies Minolta- with Caitlyn Jenner's long lost brother Bruce Navy- Weekend pass time Station sign off- was the cue to go to sleep.. if you didn't have cable you were out of luck unless your local PBS station was still on lol

Ironically, here in my home state of Iowa, PBS signed off at midnight for a while in recent years while they were dealing with budget cuts. They are now back on the air 24 hours a day.

Yup, BJ & the Bear was basically Every Which Way but Loose, except with better looking women.

@7:35 that soundtrack is way ahead of its time. Sounds like what would be common in the mid 80s with Miami Vice and the like.

The differences between the music of the late 70's (post disco) and mid 80's are actually pretty subtle, namely the arrival of digital synthesizers like the Yamaha DX7 and gated reverb on drums kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eN6qac2Ezb2RY3k.html Bands like the Cars and Blondie were basically already recording "80's music" in 1978

A truncated version of this video with just the portion from the Little House promo until the end of the sign off has been circulating on KZfaq for a while. Nice to see the whole thing.
