Anyone besides me seen this old laserdisc from the Voyager collection? I pulled it out of the collection Saturday for the first time in years. Lots of fun watching old television toy commercials from the 50s and 60s. Several, especially those for Major Matt Mason, sound-o-power rifles, and The Great Garloo, brought back many memories. I was surprised to find that I remembered the words and the tune for the old Mystery Date game commercial (only because I remember seeing it every Saturday while watching The Beatles cartoons).
Oh man - I've been looking for this LD for years! Anyone know where I might be able to find a copy (or better yet, a DVD equivalent?) I've got a number of VHS tapes filled with old toy and product commercials, but am looking for a good comp on digital.
Me too! I've been looking for years for 50's & 60's TOY COMMERCIALS!!! I don't own a LD player though...How long is the LD? Must be very special...
