Next Week Promos (Hollywood's Attic, 1996). [Category: Commercial]

Next week on Living Better Cinematically: A tape full of closing segments from 50s and 60s tv shows telling us all about next week's show. Some of them will include commercials. Some will give away most of the plot of the show. Many of them will be from cartoons. And you'll have fun playing "Spot the Star in an Early Performance". You'll see all this and more on "Next Week Promos", next time on Living Better Cinematically. This segment of Living Better Cinematically was brought to you by Glib Soap, the Slime Scraper.
Highlights:

  • Next week's episode of "The New Casper Cartoon Show" features very limited animation.
  • The makers of Philip Morris ask us, "Do you inhale?"
  • Rod Serling's "Twilight Zone" promos are the best ones on the tape, and he just uses narration!
  • O.K., I've found it––the dorkiest commercial ever made! Check out the 5th Avenue Candy Bar commercial featuring the dancing teenagers at the very end of the tape. Worth the wait, wasn't it?

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *** (gets an extra star for the 5th Avenue commercial). Weirdness: *** Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: ***.
