Mickey’s 60th Birthday!
You guys need to watch this one, no matter how you feel about Mickey Mouse:
Mickey’s 60th Birthday aired on NBC back in ’88, and it is incredible. NBC enlisted the casts of many of their hit shows to appear, so you get Disneyfied bits from the sets of Cheers, Family Ties and more. The whole thing is hosted by John Ritter, just for extra bonus points.
Strongly recommended. It’ll put your head in a happy place.
Woolworth’s in 1991!
Just for the record, I haven’t given up on Dino Drac After Dark, and won’t! I’m very much looking forward to updating this place on the reg again. The rest of January is looking pretty annoying, so don’t be too discouraged if I miss days here and there. By February, we should be back at full speed!
Tonight’s video was sent in by Ryan S., and it’s a doozy. Someone shot footage inside a Woolworth’s discount store back in 1991, and they lingered in the toy section jussst long enough for solid looks at everything from Real Ghostbusters to Ninja Turtles. Love it!
Late Night 1988 Commercials!
Here are a bunch of commercials that ran on CBS back in 1988, during a late night broadcast of An American Werewolf in London:
You can consider this a generalized chat thread, too. Happy Saturday!
November 1992 Commercials!
Here are a bunch of random TV commercials that aired back in November of ’92:
The key thing is that they all aired on WPIX. That was MY STATION, guys. I lived on it as a kid, and yes, that would include 1992. Stuffed with cartoons and sitcom reruns and ’80s movies and late night spooks, I’m fond of calling WPIX my “childhood best friend.”
