Message-ID: <328@vax2.fluke.UUCP> Date: Fri, 1-Feb-85 23:39:40 EST Article-I.D.: vax2.328 Posted: Fri Feb 1 23:39:40 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 14-Feb-85 09:27:36 EST Distribution: net Organization: Somewhere in Soho Lines: 20 Due to the miracles of cable television, I was watching Canadian TV, and noticed -- in the course of one hour -- two seperate commercials with Hill Street alumnus pushing products. The first, Ed Marinaro (Coffey) for Prego, could have been an American commercial, but Bruce Wietz (Belker) for Canadian Nissan dealers, was dressed & acting in Belker mode ("Grrrrrrr..."). Anyone know why they'd do ads in Canada, and not in the US? "It's a job for YOU, Dangermouse..." "Oh, *good* old DM!" "...AND Penfold." "Oh, ick." Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
