1987 commercials:

Quote:
Genial sitcom about a young record company exec and his attempts to discover new talent, while scouting his own "talent".

Recently on her own for the first time, thirty-something single mom, Sandy Beatty takes a job working at "Throb", an independent record label created by ambitious entrepreneur Zach Armstrong. Her son Jeremy and best friend Meredith provide a relatively safe and stable home life while work is filled with ultra-cool twenty-something reminders that she's a fish out of water. Eventually she and Zach begin a romance.

This is from Season #3 with a then-new title font, pretty much how "Stranger Things" got that font. Unfortunately, it had to edited down due to the idiocy of YouTube's Stupid Copyright Law!)
  • Miller Lite (1987): With Australian Model, Elle Macpherson in a yellow swimsuit! (I can see why guys are getting weaker, leering and fainting, she's totally hot!)
