The Making of the "Mean" Joe Greene Ad - Part One
In 1979, The Coca-Cola Company released the Mean Joe Greene commercial. Titled “Early Showers,” the ad has consistently been voted one of the greatest television and Super Bowl commercials of all time. Someone from my staff recently interviewed Joe Greene to record his memories of both the making of the commercial and its impact on his life. This is the first of two videos based on those interviews.
