On The Andy Griffith Show, Aunt Bee was the pitchlady for a furniture polish. Of course, it didn't work out.

There's others, but I'm drawing a blank.

Let's see ...

On Perfect Strangers Larry and Balki presented the Chicago Chronicle in a billboard on the side of a public transportation bus. The slogan was "News with a friendly touch" or something similar. I can't remember if there was a television ad in addition to the billboard or not.
