Poker Deposit BonusAnyone Remember a Tom Bosley Computer Infomercial?
July 18th, 2007 Paul Lucas
Ridiculous Infomercial Review reader Paul recently sent me the following email:
Just a quick question. Do you know what the Tom Bosley computer informercial was in the late 80’s?
It had trailer bound rednecks giving testomonials to how great this computer was, when in fact it was a glorified Atari game?
Thanx
Paul
The only infomercial I remember with Tom Bosley was the one for the SMC (Specialty Merchandise Corporation) business opportunity, which doesn’t sound like the one Paul had in mind.
If anybody remembers this Tom Bosley computer infomercial (which from Paul’s description sounds like it was hilarious) please leave a comment and tell us what you know.
“He has endorsed Glad Trash Bags, D-Con, the IQ Computer and Sonic Drive-Ins, and currently is the spokesman for SMC Specialty Merchandise Corporation.”

YESS!!!! I do, and I think it was called the Wizard Computer, or the Wizard 2000, or something cliche and pathetic like that. It was like a rebranded TRS-80 or something. Horrible. Tom Bosley has endorsed too many things, and his latest SMC “pyramid scheme marketing cult” endorsement makes me vomit.
I would love to see that infomercial again. I must be a masochist. Someone has to have it on tape somewhere (hopefully by accident!) and I’d bet anything sooner or later it will surface on YouTube, if its not there already!
Glad I’m not the only one who saw that!!
