A nostalgic trip down memory lane from the golden years of television

Commercials have been a part of television since the early days of live broadcasts and tiny black and white picture tubes. Here is a priceless collection of the most memorable ads from the 50s to the 70s. These gems of the small screen are miniature movies, sharing all the humor, romance, and excitement of the programs in which they appeared. Like larger productions, commercials contain famous Hollywood stars, fictional characters old and new, catchy tunes and phrases and returning popular themes. The commercial is an unique art form, challenging the producers to squeeze a vivid, lasting message into a tiny slice of time.
