Who was your favorite Ozzie and Harriet Sponsor - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Over the years they had many from Kodak, Listernine, American Dairy Association, Quaker Oats and Coke, just to name a few. Who was your favorite sponsor and what commercial sticks out the most in your mind?

I really like the Kodak ads best, but the Listermint toothpaste just sticks out the most for me. I'd never heard of it before seeing the ads on the older shows. Harriet did them and she was very convincing that this was the best tooth paste for children.

Coke for me but Hotpoint is a close second because they did alot of the commercials themselves....like with the family sitting on the hotpoint logo witn the boys playing catch with the dot of the "I".

Plus don't forget Mary Tyler Moore was the original "Happy Hotpoint" girl in her tight head to toe spandex....lol....

I've got one of those Kodak commericals with Ozzie, and I also have a milk commerical with Ozzie and Harriet and Rick and all of his friends. They were having a party and doing the twist (it was 1962 after all).

A lot of the ads were fun to watch.....esp those for Aunt Jemina!!

The commercials I liked the most were by sponsors who were not primary ones like Coke, Quaker Oats, Kodak, Aunt Jemima etc. rather.....

I really liked the commercials by Salem Cigarettes, Vanquish, Firestone (these were toward the later yrs )- but of the key commercial sponsors I think I liked the sponsors from the early 50s the best - Hotpoint and Listerine.

You have to love Ozzie's sincerity when he explains that you do not need a special camera to take color pictures, just color film. Times were much simpler then.

ILUVO&H · 01-28-2009, 10:20 PM

Isn't it so funny looking back seeing a commercial where they have to explain that.

50 years later, you have to really look if you want to buy film. It's all digital.
And look how far home movies have come from those Kodak movie cameras.
And who the heck takes slides anymore?

My favorite old time thing to watch for in the episodes are the Pin Boys at the Bowling Alley.

If my grandpa was still alive, he'd probably still be making slides.

Look for film? It is still widely and readily available where I Live--still plenty of disposable cameras as well.

But I do see it going the way of the 110, the 126 and the Brownie.....

That blew me away the first time I saw that! I never even knew of such a thing!

I am showing my age, but I knew of a bowling alley in the late fifties that still had pin setters.
