Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, 1983!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Well, my cough and fever are still rockin’, so it looks like we’ll be spending Thanksgiving at home. I’m actually looking forward to spending the holiday as a sloth, lifting my head only for food or to see giant balloons soar over Manhattan.
Speaking of which!
Here’s the complete 1983 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which isn’t one of the ones that I’ve reviewed before. Maybe next year? For now, just enjoy it as-is.
Warning: The nostalgia might literally kill you.
Pound Puppies: Happy Howlidays!
I’m about to chase off a blossoming fever with a shot of NyQuil, and something tells me that this episode of the old Pound Puppies cartoon will be so much better under that particular influence.
Happy Howlidays is from 1986, and it looks to be pretty damn Christmassy. It actually seems too Christmassy to have been a regular episode and not a prime time special, but if you think I’m gonna put in that kind of research at midnight after downing three fingers of NyQuil… woof.
Christmas at Pee-wee’s Playhouse!
Behold, one of my all-time favorite Christmas specials. It’s criminal that I haven’t written much about Christmas at Pee-wee’s Playhouse over the years, but the truth is that the special is so loaded with awesomeness that I just wouldn’t know where to start.
Released in 1988, I was shocked to hear Paul Reubens say that this was a breeze to produce when compared to a normal Pee-wee’s Playhouse episode. It’s just so damn good and SO full of amazing bits. If you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a treat. I just can’t imagine anyone not finding something in here to latch onto.
Berenstain Bears Thanksgiving Special!
Way back in 1980, The Berenstain Bears had their own prime time Thanksgiving special on NBC!
The neat thing about The Berenstain Bears Meet Bigpaw is that it was as much a Bigfoot cartoon as a Thanksgiving one. Something for everyone?
Enjoy your last weekend before Thanksgiving!
