OMG! I remember the McDonald’s commercial! That made me remember sitting on the couch when I was real little with my parents, winding down the day. That safe little happy feeling.

I remember begging my mom for a box of Croonchy Stars. I remember them as a poor mans Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I also remember Zack the Lego Maniac because shortly after my cousin Zack was born and my dad always called him that.

I LOVE THIS.
I have an old VHS recording of The Wizard of Oz and it’s got incredible commercials that I know better than any others I’ve seen in my life, simply from watching the tape so many times.

It seems like commercials were better when I was a kid…but I’m sure that’s just a biased opinion since I’m a kid of the ’80s, when all the coolest toys came out.

The Muppets/John Denver album will be in heavy rotation in these parts for the next month.

I was able to sing along to almost every word in that Definitely Dinosaurs commercial after 20 years. I was even reminded that I had one of them. This was a terrific post. Please dig up some more tapes.

I think the “Halls of Medicine” ride would fit in nicely at the ‘The Land’ at WDW Epcot.

I was 8 in 1987 and I totally remember some of these (the halls one, in particular, don’t ask me why).

I remember and loved the muppet christmas specials.

Also I work at Toys R Us now and sometimes I totally sing the theme song at work, quietly, to myself.

McDonald’s promo: I never liked Birdie, but always thought it was delightfully perverse when they had her promoting Chicken McNuggets.

Muppet Family Christmas is the last “Christmas” themed thing I actually enjoy. It’s one of those long held traditions. Although, there was a period of a few years we went without when my mom unknowingly threw out the tape of it and it wasn’t released yet to buy. Needless to say there was much sadness until it was released. Also, you can’t miss “The Muppets with John Denver” cd. I know some of you dislike John Denver but this cd is just awesome and hilarious.
