Rare The Honeymooners Classic 39 Marketing Trailer VHS CBS Video.

I wonder what exactly is in it aside from the obvious.

Just thought I would post this. I do wonder if it contains a little bit of the original Sleepwalker script. I seriously doubt it. I asked the seller if it contains the 1993 commercial that advertised the VHS Box Set. I remember watching this commercial back in 1993 before I became a fan.

Anybody have any idea of what might be on this tape? I wonder if just contains the 30 second advertisement from 1993? Judging by the picture it looks like the tape has an awful amount of tape for a 30 second advertisement.

I got the vhs tape that promoted the 1993 vhs release of the Classic 39. Unfortunately, it’s copy protected and even putting a piece of electrical tape on it, doesn’t work. In the beginning, they run through very brief clips of the Classic 39 and they said they have the five keys to success. Throughout the five keys, they show more brief clips.

Five keys to success

- Product

- Price ($5.98 in the US for volume 1 ($6.98 in Canada) and for future volumes $11.99 in the US ($13.99 in Canada). That’s in 1993 dollars. I wonder how much that would be today.

- Proven Reliability

- Packaging (they show images of four of the volumes)

- Promotion (they show the poster that you had to send away for back in 1993. The offer expired later that year but I sure you can buy one off of eBay.)

They even showed a checklist that you could check off.

More clips are shown and at the end an image of all the 1993 classic 39 vhs’s are all shown on screen.

That’s the end.
