Garfield Christmas…Our introduction to the best character Jim Davis created, Grandma Arbuckle. Shame she wasn’t used more often, as I only remember her in the Thanksgiving special, and I don’t remember her appearing on the Saturday morning show.
Given how much I drank 7 Up as a kid and my love for Nintendo, I am surprised that I never played that first Spot video game for NES and Game Boy. I did play Cool Spot for SNES and Genesis, which was a pretty good platformer, considering it was a soft drink promotion.
4:29 - Never saw this Alpo commercial before, but I agree with everything it shows and says. My fiancee and I are celebrating our first Christmas with the cat we adopted over the summer - Toby Toebeans. He is going to be a very spoiled little boy this Christmas.
A Garfield Christmas Special! One of the best memories and my all time favorite christmas special! I'm feeling like a kid today while watching these. Thank you!
Huggies- Pretty impressive to see at their young ages, these kids are great at using body language and facial expressions to go along with what the narration is talking about in this commercial.
I literally have the VHS these were recorded on. But my parents cut the commercials out. But it did have the 1991 version of A Garfield Christmas with a more somber scene of Grandma's rememberance of her husband(compared to the 1987 version where it was different). It even had Claymation Christmas, Scrooge McDuck in A Christmas Carol, Frosty The Snowman(Rankin Bass, also mentioned a fact in a recent comment a couple uploads back), and Bloom County's Opus Penguin in A Wish For Wings That Work. I rewatched that VHS nearly everyday from the end of 1991 to roughly 1994 when the holidays rolled around.
As someone who had the original 1987 version on tape and watched it about a million times growing up it was jarring to see the 1991 version when it was released on DVD about 20 years ago.
Promo For “The Wish That Changed Christmas “- I remember this special very well and watched it many times as a kid. I never read the book that this special is based on (“The Story Of Holly And Ivy”) but seeing the plot of the special, I can imagine that it would be a faithful adaptation.
When I heard the voice over at the end announcing the still decent 1991 CBS Saturday morning lineup I had to pause and remember how good many of us had it then! Pee-Wee might have left us but we still had Garfield and many other things, if I remember right it was the last real season that NBC still did animated series too. Our first creepy moment of this year's Christmas Marathon is at 10:09 thank me later!
I used to like seeing that ice skating McDonald's commercial every Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, along with a Cotton commercial. I was trying to cling to the tradition of Saturday Morning Cartoons (I hated change) and would watch the "Back to the Future" one, along with "Pirates of Dark Water." It was the year NBC cancelled its line-up to replace it with a Saturday edition of "The Today Show."
Halls- I think I would be more than a little creeped out if I were to walk down the hallway and suddenly coughing faces start appearing in the walls like the woman did in this commercial.
My grandma tapped this exact broadcast i was thinking about sending you a copy of it but didn't because half the commercials were cut out thanks for the upload (rider's in the sky commercial was so weird to me because when they said aids the recording cuts to Garfield walking in the snow)
CBS was really not known for its sitcoms during this decade. Murphy Brown was their top rated sitcom then but there's no promo for that here. Evening Shade was in the top 20 but was eventually cancelled due to high production costs. Major Dad was actually in the top 10 that season at #9 but somehow dropped to #69 the next season causing its cancellation.
CBS was largely considered a network with an older audience, due to dramas and news magazine shows. The network owned Monday nights at this time, for a season or two though. The producers of "Murphy Brown" (Diane English) and "Designing Women" (Linda Bloodworth-Thompson, also producer of "Evening Shade") were considered super producers who would later launch other shows that were not as successful, but I liked them. "Major Dad" might have moved to Fridays after that, when ABC's sitcom line-up was getting more popular. This season and the next were the peak of my TV obsession.

The voice of grandma Arbuckle, Pat Carroll was also the voice of Ursula in The Little Mermaid.

*_"All those who love comedy, say 👁️"_*
I used to love that!! Can't believe I forgot about Major Dad, though.
Whoever was in charge of McDonald's marketing in the 80s or 90s needs to be brought back or someone like minded.
So cool seeing the old Ronald McDonald commercials

I'm so old, I can remember when the McDonald's Christmas commercial first aired 😂

cracking up at the sumo wrestlers in santa hats, haha!
I think Riders in the Sky took over the time slot previously held by Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. They were a poor replacement.
If you woke up Saturday morning and saw riders in the sky on the TV you know you over slept 😂

I loved the radio shack commercial.

"Learn the facts about AID..." cuts to Garfield in the snow
Gotta love those weird VHS jump cuts on old tapes.
@@80sCommercialVault😂 yes

What happens if you ask to see the manager at Karen's Carpets?

Is it me or did CBS have a weak sitcom lineup in the 90s.
