He-Man’s Christmas Special!
By the time most of you read this, it will be December. That’s exciting and scary!
December always flies by way too fast, so I’m trying to keep my eye on the prize by savoring all of those little Christmassy things that will be completely out of style come 12/26 — whether it’s a pine-scented candle or one of those cookie baking competitions that seem to be on TV 24/7.
I’ve been pretty quiet on Dino Drac After Dark lately, but I couldn’t leave you without something to watch on December 1st. We’ve run this before, but it’s worth running every year. Check out He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special!
PS: This aired (twice) on Syfy a few days back. I own three copies of the DVD and it’s all over YouTube, but it was still amazing to see the special back on regular television.
PPS: If you’d like to see the original TV commercials that aired with this special back in ‘85, I wrote a whole article about them.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I know it’s been pretty dead around here lately, but After Dark is like the phoenix: It will rise again!
If you need some background noise while you chop veggies and pound wine, here’s the 1985 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!
Enjoy your day!
Casual Saturday Thread!
Talk about whatever.
Thanksgiving 1989 Commercials!
Happy Friday! Here’s a batch of TV commercials that aired on Thanksgiving back in 1989:
On a quick scan, I saw enough to confidently say that this is worth leaving on in the background.
I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is in less than a week. I hate how fast time seems to move during this season! On the bright side, TG is hitting pretty early this year, so there will still be a fair amount of November left when it’s done.
Look for new articles and a new podcast next week, and then the site will make its full transition to sleigh bells and candy canes. (Maybe I’ll even get the ol’ Christmas Jukebox working again.)
