Captain Kirk And Doctor Who Sell Computers In These Vintage TV Ads

When computers were new and people could actually afford them, computer companies were getting all kinds of famous faces to hawk their wares. And computer makers had to show us what we could do with computers. This led to some famous people starring in some silly commercials.

Below are two of my favorites. One starring William Shatner, the other series starring Tom Baker and Lala Ward as the Doctor and Romana. The latter has all kinds of vintage charm.

Free Enterprise Prototype Figures

Here is a special treat for Star Trek fans. You might remember the movie Free Enterprise from 1999. The film was a comedy focused on a couple of geeks with William Shatner himself as…William Shatner. Well, now they are launching a new pilot based on the film. Check it out on Kickstarter.

One of the rewards for backing the project are these prototype figures from the original movie. Bomber Bill and Beatbox Bill. Awesome. I wish that Shatner had done more movies like this.
