		<description><![CDATA[So while the East coast had Crazy Eddie&#039;s, those of us here on the West Coast had Crazy Gideon&#039;s which retired it&#039;s business in the year 2010. 
 
Crazy Gideon&#039;s was known as &quot;The 99-cent Store of Consumer Electronics.&quot; Owned by Gideon Kotzer, known for doing his own TV commercials . Crazy Gideon&#039;s has commercials in the middle of the night where Kotzer yells about how he&#039;s crazy and his prices are crazy, and he smashes TVs or pretends to be dragged off to the mental institution by a busty nurse and a cop. &quot;they stock them deep and sell em cheap&quot;. Just say &quot;830 Traction Ave&quot; to someone in L.A., and most likely they will know what you are talking about. Crazy Gideon&#039;s was the king of effective advertising. No matter how ridiculous looking the commercials were to some people, they were unforgettable and easily  implanted into your brain.  
 
If you were looking for a 10 year old  20&quot; t.v for $30 Crazy Gideon&#039;s was the place to go. They sold nothing cutting edge there, and everything was pretty much close out material that other stores couldn&#039;t sell. Crazy Gideon&#039;s made its money by flipping product. They purchased close out items and sold them to the public. They were the salvage yard of home electronics. All of their merchandise was awkward, outdated, covered in a thick grime and looked as if they had been stolen for re-sell..   
 
As you would enter through the door, to your left under a blue tarp, unfortunately it became too easy to be aware that they have a poorly partitioned section for adult DVDs.  I&#039;m talking about eally old porn (from the early 90&#039;s?), bland, low-production titles. The staff at Crazy Gideon&#039;s was inadvertently offensive and seemed creepy yet friendly. Gone but not forgotten!! Many people who have been scorned and ripped off by this thief of a store and poor excuse for a company are delightfully dancing with joy over it&#039;s retirement. Many are crying &quot;Good Riddance Crazy Gideon,&quot; but your commercials will always be &quot;Gone but not forgotten!a&quot;  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You didn&#039;t get a commercial from Savemart. They starred Don Adams from Get Smart and the tagline was Get Smart, Get Savemart Smart. I haven&#039;t been able to find any of the commercials so I wish you better than I had in digging one up. Maybe someone has one on an old VHS recording from the 80&#039;s they could upload to Youtube?  ]]></description>

I was doing sound on Ollie Fretter commercials back in the early &#039;70s. The successor company, ABC Warehouse, still features the owner, &quot;Gordie&quot;, 
   At the same time, the Mondry brothers expanded Highland Appliance, hiring  Doner advertising to create a quirky, consistantly funny, big-budget style. These ads had contextual tag lines that have lasted, like &quot;Any second now&quot;
