'80s Ad Breaks Vol. 11 - September 1985

Ad breaks from KTXA-TV (Fort Worth-Dallas, then independent), aired during its Sept. 7, 1985, broadcast of Southwest Conference football - Southern Methodist University vs. University of Texas at El Paso, broadcast from Texas Stadium. As with the Rangers videos, I've included a few pieces of the game coverage for posterity. Break 1: The "Great Toyota Swap Meet" sale (partial) Coors Light (featuring Bob Bishop and the "Silver Bullet," the world's smallest jet) In-game promo for KTXA's next SMU broadcast, the Mustangs vs. the Baylor Bears. Break 2: Borden Hi-Protein milk "M*A*S*H," returning to KTXA this fall! Break 3: New Cherry Coke (Outrageous! But only truly outrageous if Jem's involved.) AT&T long distance In-game promo for the Belgian American Mixed Doubles Classic tennis, airing live from Las Colinas End of the game, including a quick interview with SMU head coach Bobby Collins Break 4: Duncan Hines' summer cake mixes (including Cherry Supreme and Orange Supreme) Isuzu's "8.6% on '86" truck financing (Where's Joe Isuzu when you need him?) KTXA - "Return to Eden" (Murder by crocodile-infested river! I may have to see this -- it's an Australian miniseries in the vein of "Dallas," etc..)
