Maybe the old ads are "hokey" and "dated," and they don't have a lot of flesh or flash, but back in those days we could leave our doors unlocked, our keys in the car, our public schools were good, our kids weren't murdering each other, an average guy could look forward to buying an average house and an average car in an average neighborhood, men and women got married and mostly stayed married, we had communities, both parents didn't have to work to make ends meet, everyone didn't look to sue everyone, we didn't have huge drug wars, star wars or gang wars, kids felt like we had a future. At least where I grew up it really WAS like "Leave It to Beaver." There's something to be said for hokey. The F-L list did order a bunch of these tapes in USA format, I got one; don't think we met our promised quota so maybe they have some left or good luck on getting them to run another batch.
