1001 TV commercials!!?? Are you really tough enough to take it?
Covering the decades of the 1950s, 60s & 70s, these TV commercials are, if nothing else, a very simple, yet insightful look at the development of American pop culture and its undeniable influence on the general public.
With there being just so many commercials to wade through (some good, some so-so, some downright awful), I suggest that, using your TV's remote-control, you don't waste your time watching all 1001, but, instead, scan to ones that strike your interest and skip the others. 'Cause, believe me, there's lots of repetition here.
I would also like to suggest that you make a point of checking out the cigarette commercials. A good many of them were absolutely outrageous in the way they tried to seduce the public into taking up this gross habit. I mean, they even stooped to using celebrity endorsements here.
Some of these commercials are in b&w, some in color, and some are of very poor quality, but still, overall, they are certainly well-worth a view.
