Retro Toy Chest: Spellbound (1975)

 In the mid-70's, entertainer Jerry Lewis entered into an agreement with Hasbro for a series of board games, for which he'd do the commercials. He figured, since he bombed with an animated cartoon, board games can't be too worse.

Unfortunately, none of the Lewis games Hasbro produced survived the decade.

In this 1975 bit, Jerry is joined by Billy Barty (Sigmund & The Sea Monsters) and narrator Joe Sirola to plug Spellbound


Keep in mind that this was after Aurora had hired Don Adams to promote their Skittle line of games.
