Title: 5 Day Business Planner backdrop from 1990
Post by: Lightning on February 07, 2011, 06:29:32 PM: Does anyone remember the 5 Day Business Planner backdrop, circa 1990? The one with the woman wearing glasses, sitting at her desk with her briefcase and talking on the phone.

I remember on the twc classics site back in late 2006, early 2007, a video of the promo featuring that and there was a caption that said, "the drawing of the women always freaked Chazz out."

The odd thing is that the woman was removed from the title card after a few days, but she remained in the ad. I assume cost was an issue.
