This Television Commercial refers to Howdy Doody
The 1950s era family is gathered around the black and white TV, watching the 'Howdy Doody' show.
The commercial starts with a group of men (Ben Franklin), out in a field, flying a kite during a thunderstorm, discovering and harnessing the power of electricity. Then we see men (Thomas Edison)in a lab, inventing the light bulb. A 1950s era family is in their living room, watching 'The Howdy Doody Show' on their black and white television set, the father, banging on the top of the TV set to make the picture come in clearly. The men of NASA inside the command central, flipping switches as a shuttle is about to lift off into space. 'Jimi Hendrix' turns the dial up on the amplifier on stage as he plays 'Foxy Lady' live. A group of guys, in a garage building a computer, as the lights around them flicker and spark. The Chevy Extended Range Electric Volt, parked in a driveway as a man refuels the car, with the special electric recharging cord. Sometimes history's made in the sky, in a lab, in a living room, on a launch pad, on a stage, in a garage. And now, at the end of a power cord. Introducing the Extended Range Electric Volt.
