Here's a commercial for Burger King featuring their first promotion for Star Wars - 4 character glasses: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and R2-D2 and C3PO. A different one each week, for only 59 cents plus tax which includes a soft drink in it. At participating restaurants while supplies last, or until February 2nd. (they would extend the promo, however - at least through the end of Summer 1978) "Available in Metro Atlanta, Athens, Gainesville, and Rome." (C)1978 Burger King Corporation This aired on local Atlanta TV (or via Cable) on Wednesday, January 18th 1978 during the 5:00pm to 5:30pm (Eastern) timeframe. About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television: The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels (or other cities occasionally); footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. 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, and to view more of the 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at: http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php...
