Mr. Magoo (Jim Backus) encounters a pair of aliens in this 1968 spot for GE Soft White light bulbs. Of course, the near-sighted Magoo thinks they're two old ladies......
Not sure when exactly in 1968 this was made, but Backus (ex-Gilligan's Island) would return to television in Blondie that fall.

I saw a poster of Mr. Magoo shilling GE light bulbs in a book I purchased a while back called 'Meet Mr. Product', but I didn't know there were any TV ads made until now. Thanks, Hobbyfan.
Oh, I knew there were ads, but this was the first time I ran across one online. I'd seen print ads in vintage magazines (i.e. Time, Reader's Digest), too, back in the day.
