There was that lady dressed in black and gold. I don't know if she was a particular person from the 80s, or just a representation of 80s fashion.
There was someone dressed in a red leather jacket and aqua medical scrubs with a mask that quickly disappeared off to the left and I can't find them again.
Some guy behind Alf at 0:29.
Some lady behind Cliff at 0:30-0:31
Some guy dressed in aquamarine with a headband behind the clerks at 0:41

Anybody notice anything else I missed?

Norm from Cheers.

The loaded down car should have been a Chrysler K-car.

Been a long time. I stand corrected. How about Cliff?

I thought she was supposed to represent Pat Benatar.

Last one out the door should have said, "Stay gold, Ponyboy....stay...gold...."

For shame, for shame. Pat Benatar, indeed. Solid Gold dancer....go look here.

It's not Pat Benatar, but in fact a Solid Gold dancer. Here is a link that tells all who is in the commercial:The Definitive Guide to RadioShack's Epic '80s Super Bowl Ad | Yahoo TV - Yahoo TV

Does this mean Radio will be worth visiting again? As in will we be able to buy parts and assemble our own electronics.

Dude, that was the Delorean from Back to the Future. The K-car may have been more representative of what the 80's were really like, but not so much for a pop culture reference.

That's funny, I thought it was an AMC Pacer. I am unashamedly challenged when it comes to vehicle iD. The Delorean does make more sense.

Hah. I wish.

I remember the first time I heard the BBC on a shortwave I built.
