As listed by Phat Phree. And by greatest, they mean not!
In 1941, WNBT, the New York City NBC affiliate, broadcast the first television commercial. It was an ad for Bulova Watches that ran before a Brooklyn Dodgers game which showed a watch superimposed over a map of the United States. A voice over proclaimed, "America runs on Bulova time." It cost the company nine dollars.
That would be about $124 US today.

But I'm going to have the Stinky's Septic jingle going through my head all day now...
