A very breezy commercial advertising the the new 'Hillsborough' (Only RCA could get away with calling something that's the name of a New Jersey city). This is a somewhat nifty idea, a tv that hides into a desk. The whole thing looks like a coffin… but looks like a housekeeping nightmare. What if you spilled something on the desk? Also, since there's no sound, I found it difficult to bear that once you turn it on, all you will see is Jam Handy shorts. Nooooooo!
