Here's the full one-minute version of the now-famous Coca-Cola commercial from 1979 with football great Mean Joe Greene and then 12-year-old child actor Tommy Okin who offered him a Coke as he was heading towards the locker room. Then segments of a news feature on Greene are shown (voiceover by ??), including outtakes of the Coke ad.

From Wikipedia: "The campaign's art director was Roger Mosconi, the writer was Penny Hawkey, and the singers of the "Coke and a Smile" jingle were Jim Campbell, Don Thomas, Liz Corrigan, Shellie Littman, Arlene Martell, and Linda November. The footage was shot in May 1979 in a small stadium in Mount Vernon, New York, and the commercial was released on October 1, 1979, though it was its airing during the 1980 Super Bowl that brought it the most attention.

"Here, kid . . . catch!"

Not sure when this aired exactly but since the ad didn't become really popular until the 1980 Super Bowl, sometime in 1980 is most likely.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the
preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s
and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels;
footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved
digitally.  Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we
preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs
with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical
purposes.  For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or
lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 3,700+ (and
counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please
