There was a lot going on in Maine back in 1987. We had massive flooding, there was a major strike at the International Paper mill in Jay where about 1,200 employees walked out. The strike lasted over 2 months. A new snack was hitting the market...
Back in 1988 you could watch sit-coms, or a tv drama show right up until 6 o'clock when the news came on. Now some news broadcasts start at 4!
Let's take a look back at some WMTW-TV promos for afternoon television watching from 1988, the hair, the shoulder pads, and the old "You'll Love It' slogan from channel 8...
This time of year everyone is looking for the best commercials played in the Super Bowl, how about the worst. Companies pay an insane amount of money to run an ad and then they bomb.
Liam Neeson may act like a total badass when he's in movies like ‘Taken’, but he's not above poking a little fun at his new tough guy persona. The actor appeared in a new Super Bowl commercial for Clash of Clans and delivered a monologue that sounds as if it were taken (no pun intended) from one of his shoot-em-up action movies.
‘Breaking Bad’ may be completely, definitively over, but that doesn’t mean Walter White is ready to leave popular culture alone. Oh, no. As long as Bryan Cranston is alive and as lone as insurance companies are prepared to back dump trucks full of cash up this house, we’ll get to see America’s favorite meth dealer pop up every so often. So while it’s weird to se Cranston play Heisenberg one more time in an Esurance commercial, it’s not that surprising.
A ‘Fast and Furious’ Super Bowl trailer is almost as much of a tradition as the halftime show at this point. OK, maybe not quite that much, but the past two ‘Fast and Furious’ movies have had their ads, and now ‘Fast and Furious 7’ is here to follow up on that tradition. There are a lot of car commercials during the Super Bowl, but this is THE car commercial.
‘Ted 2’ may have the most relevant Super Bowl trailer there is, mostly because it features a cameo from one of the players actually playing in the Super Bowl. The movie features a cameo from New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, and he makes an appearance in this new ad.
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events of the year across the world. So, what better way to celebrate the enormity of the Super Bowl than with giant dinosaurs. That's where ‘Jurassic World’ comes in. This new Super Bowl trailer takes the excitement and curiosity of the original trailer—Chris Pratt and his raptor buddies?—and ramps it up with this new ad.
This kid kills me. She is so cute and on the ball. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but last year didn't some people get all worked up over certain aspects of this families dynamics in another Cheerios ad? Glad they are back!
Everyone has thought about quitting his or her job in some type of grand fashion, whether it be making a scene as you leave your former place of employment or telling off your boss.
