The 1980s: The Golden Age of Commercials

Remember the 80’s? Television had really hit a stride in this exuberant decade, and it wasn’t just the sitcoms, Saturday morning cartoons, and prime-time soaps, but the segments that filled the voids between.

I found this article which had me debating…is it nostalgia for the past or one’s childhood or was the 1980’s the great decade of commercials. I believe great commercials are airing and are yet to be created, but we can always learn from the “it” commercial campaigns of the past.
