September 1974
 WFL = Was Football League?
 
The Swiss Miss just MIGHT be one of the creepier ad characters ... ya think? | 
Guaranteed to creep out tots 'n' teens alike! |  | 
Those stickers almost spell out
"BEAT ME UP, NOW."

By
jove, what do you suppose Arthur Treacher would have thought of the
concept of Southern style fish 'n' chips? A bit of a sticky
wicket,
eh wot? | 
Is it me, or did 6 and 13 have remarkably similar logos in 1974? (WBRC would debut its famous
'neon 6' icon at the end of this year) | 
It's
not often we get the chance to see a TV news ad other than Channel 6's.
13 didn't often advertise their newscasts the way 6 did, so it's
nice to have Joe, Tom & Pat's loyal oppo represented from time to
time. Wendell Harris and his crew certainly could hold their own
from Red Mountain! |
 Some real TV classics here (Petrocelli), along with a whole lot of real stiffs (Little House, Sanford & Son) destined to be nothing more than answers to trivia questions in the '80s....
 In 1974, ABC shook up Saturday mornings with a character that, from a safe perch of adulthood, looked downright creepy.
Mr. Funshine had his own theme, too.
Now pour a bowl of your favorite sugar-drenched breakfast cereal, and relive some of the golden Saturdays of yesteryear:
