The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) | Nestle Quik - "Bedtime, Bunny" (Commercial, 1980) 🐇 🐰 🥛 @FuzzyMemoriesTV | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Here's a commercial for Nestle's Quik chocolate milk powder mix featuring the Quik bunny rabbit.
The little blonde girl is then 6-year-old actress Shannon Saylor (now Shannon Campbell) - she contacted me to tell me this is the only commercial of hers that she has yet found (she had apparently made 50 of them for various products!). So if you recognize her in any other ads, please post the links to them here for her.
The Quik Bunny is voiced by actor Barry Gordon (who also voiced various characters including Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Junior Wetworth from The Snorks)
Note: This is to replace an earlier, now broken (unplayable) video posting, preserved as an unlisted video here to save the original comments: youtu.be/bQb_dr8usFk)
"You can't drink it slow if it's Quik"
This aired on local Chicago TV [will be filled in later] during the 11:00am to 12:00pm timeframe.

![Under Discussion - The American Teen-Ager Today [with George Martin, Beatles Producer] (1964) 🎸♫](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/axTbgFLWzjE/hqdefault.jpg "Under Discussion - The American Teen-Ager Today [with George Martin, Beatles Producer] (1964) 🎸♫
Though audio-only (and from New York City instead of Chicago), heres an historically significant (and lost) broadcast from March 1st 1964 of a Sunday-night panel show then airing on WNEW Channel 5 called Under Discussion. This was transferred from an open-reel audio recording (pictures of which are shown throughout the video).
This series was started after the station fired Open End host David Susskind, whose first stint with the station began in 1961-62 after his first home, WNTA Channel 13, was sold to an educational consortium (which would turn it into non-commercial WNDT, now WNET) - and who had gotten into one too many battles with the then-management of WNEWs parent, Metropolitan Broadcasting, division of Metromedia, Inc. (He would move to WPIX Channel 11 for a three-year interval, 1963-66.) This show had a different set of hosts, including as will be mentioned in the next paragraph. (Its run may have ended after Channel 5, by then under different station management, brought Mr. Susskind back to helm what would now be called The David Susskind Show and would run without much incident at the station until a few months before his death in 1987.)
The topic of this edition is The American Teen-Ager Today, moderated by Dr. Harold Taylor, and the panelists (in order of introduction) are: Beatles producer George Martin; Charles King, executive director of Wiltwyck School for Boys; David and Lisa co-star Keir Dullea (later to find immortality in 2001: A Space Odyssey); Ruth Whitney, executive editor of Seventeen magazine; Robert Paul Smith, author of Where Did You Go? Out. What Did You Do? Nothing.; WMCA (570 AM) disc jockey B. Mitchel Reed; and psychiatric social worker Oscar Rabinowitz.
Note: Two commercial breaks appear to be edited out, but most are left intact.
Includes:
Opening intro of guests, (break cut) then moderator starts things, going from (starting at 3:03) the similarities between British and American teens and differences from adolescents, the business of labeling for marketing purposes, whom Ruths magazine is edited towards, Rabinowitz dealings with people in that age group, U.S. vs. UK education, parental influence on teens, Reeds original plans to become a teacher, screaming girls at Beatles concerts, teens being colonized, and what The Beatles represent (also note an (early?) use of the term hippies at 06:19)
(starting at 20:33) Commercial: Schlitz Beer
(starting at 21:35) PSA for Red Cross
(starting at 21:45) Promo for Bus Stop (ending voiceover by Chuck Caron)
(starting at 22:51) Discussion of recent Beatles Royal Command performance, a show BMR did for teens in a deprived section of the Bronx, the effects of commercialism on teens, and issue of role models for youth
(starting at 41:46) Commercial: Raleigh cigarettes
(starting at 42:29) PSA for Fresh Air Fund
(starting at 42:39) Promos for The New Breed (main voiceover by Hank Simms) (ending voiceover by Chuck Caron) and (starting at 43:30) for The Outlaws (voiceover by Chuck Caron)
(starting at 43:44) Topics dealt with include worry of how this generations teens will turn out, juvenile delinquency, immobilization of youth, the Peace Corps, teens rebellion towards older people, an incident on board a train The Beatles were riding in (which seemed to have made its way into their A Hard Days Night film), parents relationship to teens, and distinguishing between sociopolitical and economic in discussing this issue
(Commercial break omitted.)
In final segment (starting at 1:03:44), discussions include differences among youths in different areas, social sense of Scarsdale vs. slum dwelling teens, who in this age group is considered creative, George expounding on Rabinowitz points about education as it relates to music and crediting teens with realizing good and bad, the danger of set standards, what adolescents want, and teachers role in shaping pupils; moderator closes program by noting about sensitivity of young to values around them, and moving when asked to next level
This aired (with accompanying video - alas, unseen here) on local New York television on Sunday, March 1st 1964 during the 10:00pm to 11:30pm (Eastern) timeframe.
