9 Awesome Upstate NY TV Commercials We Loved from the 90s

The date was March 18, 1990. On TV at the time was the 'WXXA Sunday Matinee', where we were treated to a showing of the movie 'Maid to Order'.  Thanks to CraigS1996's Commercial Vault on YouTube, his state-of-the-art video cassette recorder (VCR) was rolling at the time. He has blotted out the movie for us and we get to take a look back at some of the Capital Region businesses on TV.

Most of these businesses are no longer operating, but a couple have withstood the test of time. If you grew up in the Capital Region, these will almost certainly take you back.

Ken Goewey, what a guy!

Ken Goewey Dodge pretty much owned the Capital Region airwaves in the 80's and 90's. Just a sidebar, those minivans are PIMP!
