Time Life Music: “Tonight’s The Night” (circa 1989)
Could you get any less subtle with a compilation of love songs called “Tonight’s The Night”?
Tom Jumper Chevrolet (Atlanta): “Safe Until July” (circa 1992)
After the 1991 “Cinderella Season” for the Atlanta Braves, every local business suddenly caught Braves Baseball Fever and tried to tie them in to promotions in every conceivable way.
CBS Top Cops (circa 1993)
Does anyone remember this show? Seems like it was a follow-up to the wildly popular “Rescue 911” and CBS’s answer to Fox’s “COPS”
Trident: “Telltale signs” (circa 1989)
Millions of teeth can’t be wrong?
Tylenol: “Tests” (circa 1993)
Lots of diagnostics at the hospital giving you a headache? Ask the doctor for some Tylenol!
Tylenol: “Arthritis Pain” (circa 1993)
Before everyone was addicted to opioids for pain relief, Tylenol wanted to let everyone know that doctors often just prescribe it for minor aches and pains associated with arthritis.
TBS: “Two Nights of Walking Tall” (circa 1989)

United Artists Ident Card (circa 1980s)

United Way: “Listen” (circa 1992)
When government welfare programs don’t get funding, the United Way is there?
