These commercials aired WTTV on April 12th, 1985
1. Promo for "Good Fishing" (With Babe Winkelman. 0:14 Now I want to know what aspects of salmon were revealed here!)
2. Promo for "The Jim Gerard Show" (Originally started on WRTV in 1966, Gerard ended his broadcast career a year after this in 1986 after the Indianapolis based Hook’s Drug Stores ended their sponsorship of his show. Gerard died at age 93 in 2020)
3. Vicks Formula 44 (With Peter Bergman)
4. Watson's (I recognize this music from an intro to Disney's DTV music videos: youtube.com/watch?v=jicQugrW-Bo)
5. "Sammy Terry" Commercial Bumpers
6. Melody Homes in Coventry Woods (2:31 maybe move your car when you're doing the panning shot, Dean. I tried to see if these homes are still around using Google maps but couldn't figure out the exact location)
7. Major Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc. (Nothing inspires confidence in a plumbing company more than a graphic of an outhouse)
8. TV Spot for "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" (Featuring Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt before they were famous)
9. "Sammy Terry" Commercial Bumper
10. "The Brides of Dracula" Film Glitch/Technical Difficulties Bumper (Rare to see and thought I'd include it. Young Jackass)
11. "Sammy Terry" Host Segment
12. David Copperfield at Clowes Hall (Making the Statue of Liberty disappear from Indiana is quite the feat)
13. Whitewater Canyon at Kings Island (An amusement park in southwest Ohio, northeast of Cincinnati. At the time it was owned by Taft Broadcasting but it's now owned and operated by Six Flags)
14. Mini Micro Satellite Systems (These "mini micro" satellites look absolutely enormous)
15. NyQuil
16. "Sammy Terry" Commercial Bumpers
17. Melody Homes (The graphic at 10:21 gives me a headache and reminds me of an earthquake seismograph. Stick to the one that's legible at 3:16)
18. Promo for "Empire Inc"
19. Mini Micro Satellite Systems
20. Van Slykes (Don't get your hat wet!)
21. Stewart Davis Furniture
22. "Sammy Terry" Commercial Bumper
23. "Sammy Terry" Host Segment/Ending
