sevfiv Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I couldn't find another thread specifically for this, so here it goes... After seeing the commercial in another thread, I thought it would be neat to make a compilation of Houston television commercials. Here are a few to get started: (1989) (1990)and of course the awesome Colonial House commercials: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChannelTwoNews Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Thanks for starting this thread, Sevfiv! I provide the clips for the HoustonTVNews page, so the links are appreciated. And for a bit of shameless self-promotion, a commercial featuring Elvin Hayes for Yellow Cab. Also, I do take requests. Just ask, and I'll see if it's around here.

sevfiv Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Another one from your channel with neat stuff - not a commercial, but KPRC promos from 1986.Some familiar anchors, the Shamrock hotel makes an appearance, and I think I saw Lee Brown when he was the Chief of Police...

That promo was from shortly before I was born, but I DO remember that show at the end, "Love Connection", I think it hung on until the mid 90s when shows like Elimidate and Blind Date got popular.
