I watch them with my dad! Mostly 80s stuff

I remember some late 70s but mostly 80s commercials to the present. Here's a Tab cola commercial from the early 80s, it had a nice jingle: https://youtu.be/Go44og6fKO8?si=Y_aSjQlle9xjOZlm

That's the nice thing about youtube

I can't give you a Tab unless you order something!

Those aren't retro, they're actually old. Retro is something new that imitates something old:

Retro style is imitative or consciously derivative of lifestyles, trends, or art forms from history, including in music, modes, fashions, or attitudes.

Nancy had bit parts in a few movies, including Airport (1970) as the woman who sold life insurance to Van Heflin's character.

reply

cool, I didn't know that

reply

I like rewatching Airport because location scenes were filmed at Minneapolis-St Paul airport. I get to see the airport the way it was when my grandfather would take us kids there to watch planes take off and land. There was an outdoor viewing area that was accessed via a spiral staircase.
