BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on Youtube or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.

In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area. This upload features materials protected by the Fair Use guidelines of Section 107 of the Copyright Act.

    I was born in 1961, I enjoy watching these commercials. I can remember a few of them and it also brings to mind how nice and peaceful it was all back then. No cell phones and internet, lol.

    20:06 - Chocks - Jingle sung by Norma Zimmer (Lawrence Welk's 1960s-1990s Champagne Lady). Panda voiced by Paul Winchell (the voice of Tigger, Gargamel, and 100s of other characters).

    4:11 - Art Linkletter for Formula 409. 15:54 - Danny Thomas and Hans Conreid in an integrated ad for Post Grape-Nuts from Make Room for Daddy. 18:04 - Claude Kirchner does his usual voiceover for Marx Toys, this time for the Johnny West/Best of the West action figures. 20:05 - Paul Winchell is the voice of the panda in the Chocks commercial. I'm not sure who does the voice of the hobby horse. 21:06 - Daws Butler as Yogi Bear, with Don Messick as the voice of the pitchman (or is it Ranger Smith?) in the spot for Kellogg's OKs. 30:41 - Rex May for the 1961 Studebaker Lark. 32:11 - Connie Hines and Alan Young in an integrated ad for the 1961 Studebaker Lark, from an episode of Mr. Ed. 32:54 - Rex May again, for the same car. 34:14 - Charles Bronson in an integrated ad for GE flash bulbs, from his series Man with a Camera. 35:12 - Efrem Zimbalist Jr. does the voiceover in a promo for his series 77 Sunset Strip. 48:35 - Herschel Bernardi as Charlie the Tuna, with Herb Vigran (I think) as his little buddy, in a vintage spot for Star-Kist tuna. 51:21 - Former Today co-host Frank Blair for Crest toothpaste. 54:21 - Homer & Jethro for Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Also promoting Kellogg's Corny Jingle contest. 55:21 - Buddy Ebsen and Irene Ryan in an integrated commercial for Winston cigarettes that aired during an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies.

    General Mills made a cereal called Corn Bursts? How did I not know about it until now? 😕
  • @hanschristianbrando5588
    The best and most deceptive thing about these commercials is that they reflect an idyllic suburban lifestyle: Mom was happy taking care of the house with all these swell products, and cigarettes were so refreshing. It was, though, the acme of the middle class standard of living, a time when it was still possible to sustain a house and family on a single salary.

    They portrayed really bad foods as healthy, but actually they were better than we have now. We lived better back then, nobody was obese, and most of us are still alive. We didn’t need pads and helmets. We lived our lives, and turned out pretty good.

    General Foods and Philip Morris (Parliament, Clark's, Marlboro) co- presented Hogan's Heroes for the first few seasons.
