80's Commercials Vol. 1080

These commercials aired on ABC on March 9th, 1987 1. Stouffer's Lean Cuisine 2. Magic Mushroom (Yep, this couple definitely seems like they love magic mushrooms) 3. Cover Girl Clean Make-up (With Christie Brinkley) 4. Ford Escort 5. Promo for "Starman" (A TV show based on the 1984 John Carpenter hit, this starred Robert Hays from "Airplane" as the title character and Christopher Daniel Barnes as his son) 6. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" Commercial Bumper 7. Glad Trash Bags (With Tom Bosley and the Trash Puppets…which is a great band name) 8. Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies 9. Dodge Caravan 10. McDonald's 11. Promo for "The Charmings" (This feels almost like a parody of a bad TV show. Hard to believe it was real and actually aired for two seasons! I've mentioned this before but it seems like some ABC exec was obsessed with the idea of having a magic themed sitcom on their schedule at the time, as the short lived "Free Spirit" joined the ABC roster in 1989 to replace "The Charmings") 12. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" Commercial Bumper 13. ABC News Brief a. Attorney for Oliver North says that Iran Contra independent council has no authority (North testified to a joint congressional committee that July that he had misled congress. He later received three felony convictions for his actions in 1989 but these were later overturned on the basis that his public testimony before congress was done under immunity and may have influenced the jury) b. Chrysler makes bid to buy American Motors (This sale went final in 1988 with AMC becoming the Jeep-Eagle division of Chrysler) 14. Pearl Drops c. Zeebrugge Ferry Disaster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Hera...) 15. Porsche 944S 16. TV Spot for "Heat" (For some reason this movie was released in France in November of 1986 but was not released here in the U.S. until March 13th, 1987. IMDB and Wikipedia list it as a 1986 release because of that) 17. KGO Channel 7 News Bumper 18. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" Commercial Bumper 19. Chevrolet Beretta 20. Speed Stick Deodorant 21. Just My Size Pantyhose 22. Promo for "Cannonball Run II" (This short promo is missing the part with Frank Sinatra saying "Call me sir" that was present on the promo seen in Vols. 15 and 779:    • 80's Commercials Vol. 779   therefore it is worthless in my eyes) 23. Vaseline Intensive Care Moisturizing Foam Bath 24. Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion 25. Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts 26.
