I was a prop man on several of these commercials. I made the coffee. Ms Christine was the wife of Fritz Feld ( the Psychiatrist in 'Bringing Up Baby' who would sometimes visit our set.

Star Trek connection! The actor playing the husband "Joe" is Stephen Collins. He played the character Commander Will Decker in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Joe didn’t do shit. Couldn’t fix the car, complains about coffee. Up your game Joe!

Just tuned in to the last few minutes of Wagon Train and there was "Mrs. Olsen". So of course had to come and find some memories. ❤

We had a coffee maker just like that one - made great coffee - when you brewed Folgers.

Just came here looking for Mrs. Olsen after watching Movies With Mark. I remember a lot of these commercials, but not this one. I was surprised to see Stephen Collins, this must have been back before he was more well-known.

I drink Folger's coffee to this day. I love it sometimes I go to Chock Full O Nuts but Folgers is just the cats meow when it comes to coffee.

I remember the Folgers in the 70s I used to like those Folgers

the reason it is the best is because it is mountain grown. I feel bad for Mrs Olsen, no car and now they took her coffee too. What a pickle

[BarbaraSchneider-dzcq]

Saw Virginia Christine on one of the old Gunsmoke" decided to look her up. Good actress❤

[ohhhwolfy]

At 0:10 - well, no sex for that guy for a year. I'm surprised she didn't slap him silly
