“You deserve a break today!”

Greetings, Bionic People. I hope US-based readers are enjoying the 3-day weekend. I’m certainly happy to have some extra time to do things like update this here site. Today, you’ll find spots from the 1970-71 time frame. Let’s start off with a McDonald’s song and dance spectacular and move on to Timex Fashion Watches, Westinghouse’s Electric Range (with a rather uncomfortable-looking Frank Gifford), and Pepto-Bismol (with Gino Conforti as Napoleon).
