I love how the two chocolate based cereals aired back to back, & they both tasted pretty good. I haven't forgotten about Dino Pebbles; if only Post can bring that cereal back. The 90's were the best time to be a kid, especially 1991 the year of the Super Nintendo, Super Mario World, & Sonic The Hedgehog!
The two chocolate cereal ads didn’t actually air back to back. The contents of this recording come from multiple episodes of "Mr. Wizard's World" that spanned the first week or so of September, 1991.
I love the sound of the 90s, but I think some of the visual design was too busy. Also I like rich hues more than the dayglo of the early 90s or the murky semi-grunge of the latter 90s (in some places).
The Saturday Morning promos here were for the major networks, not rival cable channels. In the early days of Nickelodeon it wasn't uncommon for the Alphabet channels to air promos for their shows there.
Macaulay Culkin indeed had his own cartoon and I watched it every week. Only because there was nothing else on at the time slot on Saturday Mornings. But that Yogi Bear's Most Wanted intro... another one I haven't seen in years!
Gaming was less expensive because the idea of how you leverage video gaming as a revenue driver was still in its adolescence. Now it's a fairly mature market, and the big 3 platform holders know how to wring money out.
It was. Make no fuss about it. Interestingly, I don't ever recall kids of my era saying they wish they grew up in the 60s or 70s. The 80s and 90s truly were the best times to be a kid.
There was a lot more freedom and fewer distracting devices. Getting sent out to roam the neighborhood to play and returning for meals led to great adventures and lessons. Sleepovers with old scary movies and board games. Taking turns on single-player Sega games. Junk food EVERYWHERE. Even at school. Christmas shopping in toy catalogues at at the mall. Kids were way more independent and learned about conflict resolution without having grown ups get involved.
We’re so damn old now that a lot of stuff from the 90s is coming back💯😂 I heard something about Jnco jeans coming back Those are the jeans every preteen and teenager wanted in the 90s If you’ve never seen them look them up The Jnco mammoths were the biggest💯
The 1991-1992 TV season was the last for NBC's Saturday Morning cartoon lineup and it really was forgettable. Prostars, Wish Kid, Yo Yogi, the worst season of Captain N and the horrible Super Mario World cartoon, no wonder they canned the idea entirely and went entirely with teen-oriented sitcoms the following fall.
i mean super mario world was my childhood (YTPs and DVDs of the episodes were entertainment for sure), but i can see why it was inferior to the previous 2 series.
15:38 my dad told me when I was 4 he took my brother and I to meet Hulk Hogan at an airport. My mom had her wisdom teeth pulled out that day and we ended up ditching her at home to go meet him lol.
2:22 - I remember reading that the decision to include Sonic the Hedgehog with the Genesis was originally a controversial idea within Sega, as it was their newest and biggest game, and giving it away for free seemed like a bad move. However, the President of Sega of America persisted, and the idea wound up working, as it was the perfect move Sega needed in order to draw attention away from the Super Nintendo. Because of it, Sega wound up outselling Nintendo's new console during the 91 holiday season. I certainly remember a lot of friends suddenly picking up a Genesis at the time, because of this move.

2022 may be coming. But, it can never take the place of the entire decade of 1990's especially when it comes to good and memorable TV shows, commercials, toys, etc.
4:40 - Yo, Yogi is regarded as one of the worst cartoons of the 90s, and that's saying something when you see stuff like Hammerman as its competition. The cartoon was a pathetic attempt to make Yogi, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and other characters "cool" by making them into preteen 90s kids who hung out all day at Jellystone Mall. And yes, the idea is just as desperate as it sounds. It was a total "Poochy the Dog" moment for the character, trying desperately to make the character "hip" with today's youth.
They did that to Rugrats too. They called it All Grown Up. Rugrats was great, sequel, not so much. The great thing about Rugrats was being transported into the imagination of toddlers and how they see simple things.
It's interesting to see the major networks advertise on Nick. Kinda like Nick wanted kids to have an option to choose what they want, EH? That "Parker Lewis" commercial seems pretty risque for Nick, but I guess they were aiming at preteens with that one.
It certainly wasn't common, but it also wasn't unprecedented for the networks to air promos for their shows on Nick back then. Here's one example of a promo for Gremlins on NBC that aired on Nick in 1988: th-cam.com/video/HNbS4L3cbOU/w-d-xo.htmlm2s
That cartoon called "Wish Kid" with Macaulay Culkin was pretty short lived as I recall, which is probably why you had no idea Macaulay Culkin had a cartoon. I watched it a lot as a kid, but watching it nowadays, it's pretty bland and flat, in my opinion.
It was definitely part of the short-lived era in the late 80s/early 90s where celebrities got cartoons, like Camp Candy (John Candy), Rick Moranis at Gravedale High (where he was a teacher at a Monster High School), Pro Stars and of course, Wish Kid.
Also dont forget Hammerman,New Kids On The Block(both on ABC) and the Kid-N-Play cartoon on NBC.. there also was Waynehead(Damon Wayans) on either WB or Fox Kids
@yusakug it was the 2000s, but I think Jackie Chan Adventures was probably the only successful celebrity toon. Well, there was also Howie Mandell's Bobby's World if that counts.
Right?! The ads were actually almost a pleasure to view! I noticed that as well, bc nowadays if I watch cable TV I cannot stand (!) the freaking commercials lord have mercy they are so obnoxious and I always mute them haha🔇🔇🔇🔇
Growing up in the 80s and 90s was the best!!! So many great memories, tv shows, games, movies etc!!!
Being a kid in the 90s was the absolute best time to be alive
Thanks for these videos. In times like these, its nice to have something to remember when the world did'nt feel so shitty.

90s had more soul to their music. It feels more alive.
It's amazing how they had commercials for other cable channels that had Saturday morning cartoons

13:03 that SNES commercial is priceless.😊
I miss the 90's so bad.
Still got my original SNES. Works great!
Shit me too
is it yellow though? not that it affects your playing experience but it can look weird
That Sears commercial was like having to go to a time share meeting in the middle of a free ski weekend.
I miss this.
Macaulay Culkin indeed had his own cartoon and I watched it every week. Only because there was nothing else on at the time slot on Saturday Mornings.
But that Yogi Bear's Most Wanted intro... another one I haven't seen in years!
Yo Yogi as a concept was fair enough for the time. But it was sooo paint by numbers.
Dang, Barney sure spent a lot of time and money to steal a $3 box of cereal from Fred.
The nick commercials were always so wicked.
I used to watch Mr. Wizard at 5:30 AM
Me too!

I got that exact gaming bundle that year for Christmas.
