I find it ironic how a lot of people wanted to skip commercials, and now people archive them for those who actually seek them.

@tylergooding9743 Жыл бұрын
Very different landscape back then. We only had a few shows to watch, with networks competing for viewers during the prime time slots so they had to be really good quality and special. This "bumper" promo really displays that. Hit all my nostalgia feels.

3:03 That NBC promo had a lot of big names. Jackee Harry must've been at the peak of her popularity then, she was prominently featured (& was also in the promo for a TV movie at 6:05). Among the many others were John-ny Carson, Jay Leno, Michael J Fox, Michael Landon, Sherman Helmsley, Mr. & Mrs. "Bill Cosby", etc. I could've done without ALF, though. ;)

Of course, those brands have been around a long time--like a lot of other well known products, or things--but when it comes to buying/owning cars, I don't give a damn about "status symbols"--too much $$ involved. Chasing the latest "status symbols", in general, is lame--just be yourself, and in terms of material possessions just get what works for you.

Not-so-smart aleck this is true, I used to tell people “ enjoy material things for yourself, but don’t define yourself by them or flaunt them to others” . Material things are a blessing for sure, but I would rather someone remember and respect me for trying to be a great person than what I have. But, yes I do see a lot of luxury cars on the streets and SOME people do deserve them and work hard for them...
