January 2, 2012: The Spare Time Syndrome

I added 25 more ads for the first post of the new year, all from February 1970, plus one Random Pages gallery addition, a Thursday, 2/26/70 Blade Peach Section UPI story on an upcoming NET series called Why You Smoke: A Self Test. I'll post an ad for it, too on Wednesday. There are nine ads in the Channel 11 gallery including a Tuesday, 2/24/70 ad for a CBS variety special called Movin' and eight more for movies. There's a Thursday, 2/11/70 ad for "Hud" on The CBS Thursday Night Movies (Paul Newman), a 2/20/70 ad for "The Rainmaker" on 11's Friday Night Movie and another 2/20/70 ad for "All Fall Down" on The Late Show. Next is a Saturday, 2/21/70 ad for "Betrayed" on Cinema 11 and "The Caine Mutiny" on The Late Show, a Sunday 2/22/70 ad in the TV Tab for a CBS Movie Special presentation of "Born Free" and a Monday, 2/23/70 ad for "When in Rome" on The Big Show (Paul Douglas, Van Johnson). There's also a Thursday, 2/26/70 ad for "The Bucaneer" on Command Premiere and a Friday, 2/27/70 ad for "Lolita" on The Friday Night Movie. There are two more in the Channel 11 News gallery, a Thursday, 2/19/70 ad and a Monday 2/23/70 ad, and there's another channel 11 ad in the News/Special Reports Ads gallery. It's a Tuesday, 2/24/70 ad for Project Eleven "The Spare Time Syndrome" with Joe Gillis reporting. Also in that gallery is one from channel 13, a Wednesday, 2/25/70 ad for a Jim Mengel report on Toledo's Police on The Venner-Ward Report. There are four more in the Channel 13 gallery. The first one is a Friday, 2/20/70 ad for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on NBC (Ed McMahon, Doc Severinsen). There's also a Saturday, 2/21/70 ad for two college basketball games, a Toledo vs. BGSU game and a Kentucky vs. LSU game, two Sunday, 2/22/70 ads for the NBC special, The Many Moods of Perry Como and a Monday, 2/23/70 ad for three NBC daytime shows, The Doctors, Another World and Bright Promise. There's one more in the Channel 13 News gallery, a Tuesday, 2/25/70 ad for The Noon Look (June Miller). There are three in the Channel 24 gallery including a Friday, 2/20/70 ad for ABC's Love, American Style "Love and the Many-Married Couple" (Steve Allen, Jayne Meadows, Jack Cassidy), "Love and the Uncoupled Couple" and "Love and the Safely Married." There's also a Saturday, 2/21/70 ad for the ABC Movie Special "The Journey of Robert F. Kennedy," shown on a four-day delay, due to a TU Basketball broadcast on the previous Tuesday. Next is a Sunday, 2/22/70 ad for "The Family Jewels" on The ABC Sunday Night Movie (Jerry Lewis) and a Wednesday, 2/25/70 ad for The Johnny Cash Show (Mama Cass). The last two of today's ads are in the Radio Station Ads gallery, a Saturday 2/21/70 WSPD-AM 1370 ad ("Win a Live Cherry Tree!") and a Monday, 2/23/70 ad for WTOD-AM 1560's Country Auction on Saturdays. More February and March 1970 ads from the online archives of The Toledo Blade are on the way...
