It's an absoute travesty that...

[dawgstudent]

you can't find an old Leadco commmercial online.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Especially one with Jim Varney

Tommy Lester from Laurel (Eb on Green Acres) used to do them too.

I’m 36. Those infomercials were actually the gateway for my parents and grandparents to introduce me to the great Jerry Clower! HAAAAWWW. Also the first time I ever remember hearing the words “vinyl siding.”

 

[cowbell88]

Didn’t someone say there was a lawsuit with something from Leadco properties/owners?Wonder if that’s why commercials can’t be found.

After discussing this the other day, I spent about 3 hours, and it’s like they never existed.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Same here. I’m in my 30s and when I was a kid I didn’t know Clower was a comedian, I thought he owned Leadco.

 

[Crucifictorious]

Surely someone, somewhere has a VHS tape of the Leadco Saturday m ovie "Any which way but loose" with Eb and that creeepy Leadco guy dancing during commercial breaks.

The guy was a big crook. Last I heard he was living on some island country

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Got released from federal prison about 8 months ago.

Butch?

 

[tbaydog]

Butch?

went to HS with Butch..........Apparently he had no luck.........

 

[kired]

Was this a south or central MS thing? I don’t remember it growing up in NEMS. I’ve got a friend with the largest Jim Varney collection known to man and he doesn’t remember this. We’ve got a ton of old VHS movies recorded but it would’ve had to of come on wtva or wcbi for us to have it.

That free quarter inch insulation they threw in single-handedly slowed the thawing of the polar ice cap.

 

[RocketDawg]

What is Leadco? Google doesn't help.

 

[Beckerdawg]

A vinyl siding company that sponsored movies on Saturday afternoons. In the late 80s or early 90s.

 

[Beckerdawg]

Wasn't the "dancing " called the Leadco shuffle ?

Thanks.

They were located in a converted storage unit building right off I-20E on your right as you are approaching the Pearson Road exit. Eb and Jackie Thompson from “Hour of the 50’s” were weekend staples of central Mississippi tv viewership.
