Mason Reese. Post Raisin Brand Commercial.

I just have the funny feeling that when the ad execs cast Mason Reese in this 1975 Post Raisin Bran commercial they knew he was kind of goofy.

They must have. Probably some kind of cruel inside joke.

Stupid, cocky mid 70's ad execs.

    Oh no!!! You played the dreaded Mason Reese card! Worse than that whole 2012 Mayan calander thing.

    And one more thing. Why didn't someone have him blow his nose?

    Listen to that nasal voice.

    I never really thought of it, but you're right. Something a little "off" about that kid. Wonder where he is now.

    He now owns restaurants in NYC.

    And he doesn't serve a smorgasbord, go figure.

    Gage, your comment came too little too late. I surfed over there, too. NOT a good idea.

    I think he was trying to ride the coattails of Danny Bonaduce.
