Editorial Review from Description:

It?s a sad truth that when it comes to television, the advertisements are often more entertaining than the actual programs themselves. This 2-DVD set gives a fairly complete panorama of the first decades of television advertising. Lots of the ads are classics. Others are a good reminder that television standards have changed a good deal over time. For example, did you know that cigarettes were once advertised on television? Another entertaining ad tries to convince children to eat Cheerios and drink V8 juice at the same time. PA lot of the ads were shot by the Jam Handy organization, which for a while was one of the most famous production houses in the country. There is a good mix of color and black and white clips. The most interesting one is probably when people break into song in order to sell Lucky Strikes.

Not as Advertised , 2008-11-11
This product was completely mis-represented. The info description was way off...the whole thing is dubious. Stay Away.

Good source for a student, 2007-01-13
I have purchased several products from A2ZCDS in the past and as a student, I find that these are very helpful. If you are looking for a product to help get you through a project or a term paper, A2ZCDS provides just that. Plus, it is very convenient.

The Birth Of Television Advertising, 2006-07-24
This is a collectin of very interesting advertisments from the start of the television era. The best ads are the ones from the 1950s and I found the ones from the 60s to be a little bit too polished. There is no commentary track, so you can skip around and find the clips you like. It's all fairly well done and the selection is interesting.

Funny Comercials, 2006-05-04
You know, I never know what to expect when I order older clips on the Internet. Time and time again I've bought clips only to have them overwhelmed by lots of pointless commentary that overlaps the ads and doesn't let me hear/see them in their original form. br / br /For that reason, I'm giving this DVD 5 stars. You get the ads, the whole ads and nothing but the ads. br / br /Some are clearly better than others and some are just plain weird. I don't know about you, but I'm not sure any ad could convince me to pour tomato juice onto my morning ceral, but apartently at least one ad company thought it was a good idea. br / br /The smoking ads are the most thought provoking because they really did try to make people think cigs are healthy.
