Here are a bunch of TV commercials that aired in the summer of ’87:

Looks like there are some great ones in the mix, including an ad for Sizzler. (God I miss the Sizzler buffet.)

Side note: I spent some time going through my own tapes today. Found enough vintage Halloween commercials to cover two entries during the next Countdown. Yes!

This is really just a Free-For-All Friday Thread, so go ahead and talk about anything.

Here’s part of the Home Shopping Network’s overnight block, from 1988. Can’t believe how nostalgic I am for cubic zirconia pendants.

Back then, I was fond of leaving HSN on when I was near a TV but didn’t want to actually watch TV. It was just something to help keep the house from seeming too quiet, especially late at night.
