My P&G shows are beautiful. Unfortunately, none have commercials.

I remember watching "Pete and Gladys" at my Grandma's house on Monday nights. I always liked the show, but after the morning reruns on CBS ended in 1964, the show was not seen in Chicago again, except for a very brief run on CBS in April, 1967 during an AFTRA strike. Some of the shows in my DVD have original commercials and sponsor bumpers. Perhaps the best ones are the "integrated" spots for Carnation Milk. Carnation was the main sponsor every other week, and the main commercial came at the end of the show, with Cara Williams and Harry Morgan, and the spot was written as to tie in with the story just presented, like a "tag" scene from the evening's story. I loved December Bride too, it's a shame that these shows are just locked away in Paramount's vault(with the exception of your 35mm copies!). I think people would enjoy seeing a funny show that hasn't been run to death.
