“Beef. Arby’s piles it on.”

We’re into 1974 and ’75 in today’s post. Firstly, it’s ol’ Will Geer of The Waltons in a spot for Arby’s. Following that, you’ll find good lookers for Charmin (with Dick Wilson and Raggedy Ann), Lemon Pledge (with George Montgomery), and a preview of ABC’s Fall TV line-up featuring:

The Odd Couple, The Streets of San Francisco, Happy Days, The Rookies, Marcus Welby M.D., That’s My Mama, Harry O, Paper Moon, Nakia, Everything Money Can’t Buy, Kodiak, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, The Sonny Comedy Revue, Get Christie Love!, The New Land, The Texas Wheelers, and Where’s the Fire?. If you’re scratching your head over this last one, Where’s the Fire? never made it past the pilot episode. Have fun!
