Sometimes something that is small can really help to sum up a time or place. Such is the case with this 1979 TV Guide Fall Preview Guide commercial. It is simple, but it is chock-full of wonderful sounds and visuals that scream the late 1970s. The commercial is more of a promo and clocks in at about 10 seconds. It consists of a simple deep-voiced announcer, some almost Tron-like animation, and unsettling music. Each individual element is something you would see in advertising, promos, and intros during that decade. In rare instances, such as this, they all came together in a magnificent package. The announcer is a timeless element. So I would like to discuss the other two elements just a little.
