Men In White
- In the early days of
television, actors impersonated doctors in commercials and
hawked their sponsors medical products. In 1958 these so called
"Men in White" commercials were outlawed. In 1984, the "Men in
White" format was slyly resurrected by the makers of Vick's
Formula 44 who produced commercials where an actor said: "I'm
not a doctor but I play one on TV."
