Indeed. And those commercials were my first impression of SF. Followed by: The Doris Day Show, The Streets of San Francisco, Dirty Harry, Phyllis (the Mary Tyler Moore spinoff) and My Sister Sam.
Also, the woman who sang that jingle did the female vocals on the Partridge Family Albums. Shirley Jones did the vocals on the TV show, but not on the albums.

And what, no Bullitt?
Oh yeah, I saw that in college. Add it to the list.
