14. "What A Nightmare, Charlie Brown" Commercial Bumper (Brought to you by McDonald's and Dolly Madison. The Peanuts specials that aired on CBS during this period were known for their ubiquitous sponsorship with Dolly Madison, which seems to have ended by 1980. This is the earliest Peanuts special that I've posted commercials from and the first time I've posted ads for Dolly Madison products period)

WJKW News Center 8 Bumper ("The Hillside Strangler" mentioned here concerned a spree of 12 rapes/murders of young women and girls in the Los Angeles area that occurred from October 1977 to February 1978...committed not by one man but by two cousins. The murder that was covered in this newscast ended up being their final victim. They were apprehended in 1979 and eventually sentenced to life imprisonment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsid...)
