The Greatest Local Chicago TV Commercial Ever? Super Sash Window Co. - "We'll Get Serious" (1982)


Here's an ad which may well indeed wind up being the greatest local Chicago TV commercial...

...for Super Sash Window Co., with an elderly couple being consulted on what window replacement would work best for them - and the firm's owner advising that's because they'd gotten his free book "Knowing What's Best for Your Home's Sake" (it would be terrible if something should happen to your home, say, an "accident" perhaps?) - and ending the commercial by offering it to those watching at home. There are times when watching this that I feel like a Jerky Boys sketch might break out at any time. "I'll send you this book - better yet, I'll bring it myself . . . " This aired on local Chicago TV early Tuesday, September 14th 1982 during the 12:30am to 1:30am timeframe. About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television: The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!
