  • At least Ted Turner admitted that he made a big mistake when he sold TNT and his other channels to Time Warner. He wishes he had them all back bow but unfortunately no longer has the money to buy them back. If he did get them back I bet we would see Monstervision revived.

  • Brings back memories of waking up the last Saturday of the month, getting a bowl of Lucky Charms and watching Big-G kick ass and take names, I feel sorry for today's youth, they can't appreciate good entertainment now or days

  • Tnt sux sice ted dumbshit turner made it drama crap another soccordad turned on crack

  • Goddamn, what a montage!

  • They don't make promos like this anymore.

  • They seriously need to bring back Godzilla marathons at least on sci-fi

  • @mlb6893 too bad "Syfy" is too busy playing Ghost Hunters, wrestling and crappy inhouse made movies like Cyclops and Ice Spiders to show actually good Scifi like Godzilla or Star Trek

  • @bobopatchigglerrulez Yeah, the asylum (the creators of those in house made films like the ones you mentioned) NEEDS to get bankrupt and the owners of thosedumb shows "sy-fy" claims that those are their best shows and they should they re-air Godzilla movies and MST3K (preferably comedy central through sci fi era) and ACTUAL science fiction films the channel would be better

  • bring it back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Only if we had it back

  • goddammit why did tv change from this!

  • I bet the Godzilla Marathon really kicked butt!

  • AMC had a godzilla-athon when it started show horror movies and created Fear Friday(which i think is starting fade away) that lasted the entire weekend.

  • I miss the coolness we lost when the television companies decided to sell their souls for money now we suffer....

  • @LastAyleidKing Now all you see is Jersey shore and the fucken Kardashians.

  • I wish TNT knew anything exceptions to drama...smh had so much respect for this channel..

  • man i wish tnt would bring back monstervision like if you agree

  • Hahah Awesome! I remember watching MonsterVision all the time when i was a kid. Used to be my all time favorite program haha.

    Joe Bob Briggs... Hahah just saying his name cracks me up...

  • Monstervision being taken off the air is a mean-spirited Commie plot, if you ask me.

  • Comment removed

  • Holy shit, this is the BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!

    Isn't it ironic that "death breath" rhymes?

  • i remember this in 1994. all night Godzilla flicks on TNT

  • curse you tnt for changeing you know retarted drama now you should stop the drama and start kicking ass again.

  • @MOVIEmania709 if I had a million dollars I would buy tnt from turner just to change it back-I would do a commercial with TNT knows drama-then, like a pirate broadcast signal interrupting the transmission, suddenly you would hear the sound of Godzilla's feet stomping and then the Blue Oyster Cult music starting-

    the return of MONSTERVISION! actually I would just change the name of the whole network to "Monstervision"

  • @trapadoored i would do the same

  • TNT sucks

  • I didn't see any of the movies, but I loved this commercial! I only saw it once and had been hunting for it ever since.

  • Oh god, I remember waking up at 6 AM just to sit and watch this the whole day, starting with the old Godzilla Action Cartoon from 6-7 AM, then all the movies until midnight XD

    Mothra being called "The Thing" was only in the english version too.

    As said, "Baragon" is "Gabra" from Godzilla's Revenge.

  • God dammit! I love godzilla, but i can't believe i missed this

  • bring back classic rock and bring back monster vision.

  • Their marathon on Memorial Day 1992 got me into Godzilla and Japanese monster movies! Had not been for that, I never would have gotten into anime. :>

  • Wow! Thanks for the childhood memories. I still remember this ad. Loved Godzilla as a kid, and still do.

  • the good old days

  • I remember this when i was young...............TNT sucks today :(...............the monster that said Baragon is not Baragon thats Gabara from Godzilla's Revenge

  • @bluer68 I don't count that movie

  • i remember this as a kid i always watched this as a kid and monster vision man they need to bring this back!

  • Still have this intro somewhere on tape. Recorded the whole marathon

  • Bring back monstervision Ted Turner - you asshole!

  • someone should kick Ted Turner in the rear end for killing of monstervision

  • @TJthunderstrike How bout Godzilla do it? 

  • i miss this show Syfy should bring back Monstervision

  • @Ven0m64 They'd just fill it with their craptastic CGI no-script, no-acting, no-direction garbage anyway, so what would be the point. Sci-Fi channel is run by the biggest morons on the planet.

  • at 0:57 it say baragon but it shows gabara

  • @minillagodzilla2004 :i know!,TNT did not do research.

  • @minillagodzilla2004 that's exactly what I was about to put! xD

  • This always made me feel so proud to be a G fan.

  • that wasnt baragon that was gabara

  • I grew up with godzilla he was my favorite monster of all time.

  • Blue Oyster Cult? What a nice surprise!

  • 0:57

    Lol, it says Baragon but that is CLEARLY Gabra.

  • @KyleGibbons91 Gamera is a giant turtle...

  • @KyleGibbons91 No it's not. Gabara and Gamera are two totally different monsters whose names are not pronounced the same.

  • @KyleGibbons91 Dude, did you even pay attention to the video? The big green monster that they call "Baragon" is actually a monster called "Gabara." NOT Gamera.

  • You can tell whoever made this was a big fan of Godzilla.

    I think I can explain the Baragon/Gabara thing, too. Probably multiple people were putting this together, and one of them said, "Hey, what's the name of the monster with a big horn on his head?" And the other guy didn't know about Gabara, so he said, "Oh, that's Baragon."

  • MAJOR BEATDOWN BY GODZILLA AT 0:54

  • This was the first time I ever heard this song. I always think of this commercial when I hear it.

  • the 90s shown some of the best television. Now today, there're hardly anything good to watch. RIP good television.

  • I first saw this intro when I was about four years old, and it will always be tattooed into my brain. I'll never forget it! Monstervision was the best! What the hell has happened to television these days? I want the old monster movies back!

  • GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!! hail to the king baby he rules. why don't they play stuff like this on TNT now they have a law and order for every city in the U.S. WTF!!!!

  • whar can i find thease shows

  • That's Gabara,not Baragon.

  • TUNE IN NEXT WEEK AS THE KING OF THE MONSTERS GUEST STARS ON AN ALL NEW LEVERAGE.

  • 0:59 it said BARAGON but should Gabara!

  • "...history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man."

    How true. Man, this was when TV was TV: when you dropped everything to get home and watch!! Of course that was before we were treated to the scourge the likes of 'Jersey Shore' & 'The T.O. Show'.

    Oh, I forgot..."GODZILLA!!"

  • this was the best show of my youth, i used to spend that night watching it and recording some of the movies for my collection, course i own them all now anyway on dvd and vhs...but still this was a great piece of history

  • i watched godzilla movies in my childhood in the late 1970's/1980's. then in the 90's in my 20's i found monstervision on tnt. sad thing is anybody rarely plays godzilla flicks anymore. i have been buying my godzilla flicks on dvds from amazon.com. this is the only way you can watch them now if your lucky enough to catch a flick on cable/on demand once in a blue moon.

  • lol, i recalled this in 1994! too bad they do not play this on tv anymore. i had to buy the dvds on amazon.com for my collection.

  • back when tnt was cool

  • Good stuff!

  • he has no emotions WTF?

  • thanks 4 the post!

  • i remember watching this as a kid. this single 90 sec intro got me hooked on Godzilla :) i even wrote a letter to TNT to run MonsterVision again!! They did about 5 years later, but i missed it haha

  • Comment removed

  • The Godzilla marathons and the Harryhausen marathons were what introduced me to my love for films.

  • Oh my God. I remembert this. It was 1994-95. I was about 9-10 years old. This was what got me interested in Godzilla in the first place. I love this commercial.

  • @PaulG85

    Same exact thing for me, age and all.

    I think I still have some old VHS tapes with this song on it. I watched them over and over when I was sick.

  • Comment removed

  • The 80's and 90's were the glory years of Cable T.V. now everything is just kind of the same and super lame

  • tnt drama my fucking nuts

  • A day when TV was good.Now just stupid reality shows

  • @ZULUSNIPER1 agree. i miss old monster vision and even old nick at nite. such crap on tv anymore. BRING BACK THE GOOD STUFF LIKE MONSTER VISION AND OLD NICK AND OLD SCI FI CHANNEL !!

  • ted turner sucks-tnt drama sucks balls

  • Holyshit i remember staying up just to watch this in thre 80's for Godzilla ahaha. Back in the day this and the sci fi channel were my favorites when they'd do the godzilla marathon all day... Wow all the childhood memorys and im now 29.

  • This was back in the 80s and 90s when TNT was great.

  • Can't grasp the fact that it's not Ghidrah and that it's King Ghidorah. Oh Well.

  • It IS King Ghidorah!

  • GO!GO!GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A great song by Blue Oyster Cult,but an even greater monster. LONG LIVE THE KING!LONG LIVE GODZILLA!

  • No weapon can destroy him? What about The Oxygen Destroyer?

  • does it still do that i would anything for GODZILLA!

  • You Know... Late night TV used to be a haven for old school sci-fi/horror flics! (From the classics, to the shlock!) Now most networks don't even show them on Halloween! What happened!

  • Infomercials. That said, films that fell into the public domain will keep floating around on cut rate DVD.

  • I wish I could answer that for ya, bud. I'm wondering the same thing.

  • I caught that too. When I was little I noticed this because they would show this WHILE airing the movie with Gabara in it.. and I always thought it was strange. But the song and clips are so insanely cool that I would jam to it anyways every time TNT ran this little piece of bad ass genius.

  • I FREAKING LOVE THIS INTRO!!! Best use of a song from BOC.

  • Godzilla should air again. With Cloverfield, a renewed interest has risen with giant monster/kaiju movies. Say if they aired Godzilla once or twice every week on Spike, MANY people who watch it, both old fans of the genre and new.

  • I would stay up late at night with my dad to watch this! Man I miss it..

  • i remeber monster vision they should bring it back it was awesome

  • I wonder why SyFy stopped showing Godzilla.

  • i wonder why they dont broadcast godzilla movies anymore

  • yes-it's even funnier when they mis-identify baragon in "destroy all monsters" I think it's gorosaurus they show but they say baragon. I was just watching that movie recently and still can't get over the shots of varan flying! awesome stuff I wish they would have left in his own movie instead of just all the endless myron healy stuff.

  • How did you get this footage. When I was a kid I tried to record it but my VCR was never hooked up right. lol. Thanks for uploading this video. Good times.

  • Man this was the BEST show. Now TNT "KNOWS DRAMA".

  • ohh ,it was so awesome, on halloween night on movie central they played Godzilla final wars, it was kick ass

  • for real? damn that halloween party...

  • Godzilla can do anything! He make right turn on red anythere, NOT JUST CERTAIN PLACES! He not have to wait in line for bathroom at Steeler game! He go in sink if he want to!

  • TNT is utterly unwatchable now it so damn boring! They neef to bring Monstervision and Godzilla movies back. It wouldn't kill them to not play Law and Order for a couple of hours on a saturday night so Monstervision could be run.

  • i loved that... they need to do that again. or any channel actually. amc used to have godzilla marathons for halloween :(

  • I remeber that AMC's MONSTERFEST. 1 full day of pure godzilla and two other days of other monsters...i miss my childhood :(

  • me too, I want to have the monstervision back! As it is, I'm watching Godzilla movies again :D. Good times!

  • Ohh God.... This brings back so many memories.... TV sucks these days.

  • This is classic! One of the best Monstervision promos ever! Sadly, it now serves as a reminder of how far TNT has fallen.

  • they called gabara baragon

  • Maybe we should all write emails to TNT so they can bring MonsterVision back!

  • Monster Vision was my excuse I gave to my mom to stay up all night every Friday back when I was in the 3rd grade LoL

    On top of Godzilla, I remember watching Maximum Overdrive and the Night of the Living Dead movies soooooooo much.

    Good times.

  • I can remember this. I stayed up all night every night this was on to watch Godzilla. He's the best! I wish they still had Monstervision on TNT. :(

    This was back when Television was cool.

  • where can I see godzilla on tv?

  • If the word awesome could be defined visually...I would be defined by the image of Godzilla. No man, no machine, God or Demon can can match his awesomeness.

  • God it's been forever since i've seen this. It brings back a lot of memories.

  • I feel old now. I have this on VHS recorded from the early 90s...so awesome.

  • me too

  • Wow, Baragon looks a lot like Gabara :P

  • I still remember this as a child...

  • thanks for posting this. Monstervision made my weekends in my youth. Go Go Godzilla!

  • When will any of the Godzilla movies be aired agian?

  • Used to LOVE weekend TV. In New York, and then cable, with all the Godzilla, sci-fi, horror, and monster movies on the weekends. Some pizza, root-beer, a cute woman to cuddle-with on the sofa, and late-night Godzilla movies. Sounds like HEAVEN.

  • Oh hell yeah! I remeber this! This wasa the shit!

  • that wasn't even Baragon..that was Gabra..DUH

  • OMG! lol wtf... welcome to 2008 :( no more scfi movies that you can just stay up late for the hell of it and watch them... I remember monster vision thats when TNT didnt know drama lol... joking TNT sucks go to hell and take your drama serries with you FAGGOT!

  • Have you been drinking?

  • yeah NO good sci-fi movies all of the ones that are on are horrible espically from the sci-fi channel thats the worst of them all and that use to be a good channel now its crap.

  • I loved this commercial when it first hit the tube thanks for posting!

  • Bring BaCK jOe BoB!!!

  • I have this entire marathon on VHS..really need to get it,and many of my old VHS recorded shows,converted to DVD. Shame how terrible cable,and television in general,has become. Reality shows,American Idol..ugh. Talentless faces and hardbodies is all that television seems to care about these days.

  • That wasnt Baragon that was Gabera!!!

  • i know thats what i said

  • to 7DARKHELLS, yeah lol it is gabara...but forgive them...this was still soooo awesome X infinity! :)

  • This is pretty cool, I remember watching Monster Vision too. However they misnamed one of the monsters. Gabara is credited as Baragon, hehehehe! But otherwise, good job!

  • I remember staying up to watch MonsterVision.  I also remember the outerlimits marathons...

  • WoW! This reminds me of staying up all night watching "Godzilla Bash '94". I still have this on vhs along with the MTV Lifetime Achevement Award thing for Godzilla also.

  • Back when there was a point to having cable tv!

  • What ever happend to these D:

  • AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I used to love this commerical!!!!

  • Oh god...this brings back the best memories of my childhood. I really wish they would bring it back. I remember when TNT used to play movies worth watching (Godzilla, Jason and the Argonauts, etc)

  • dude, this was the only way I used to be able to survive Saturday's. I wish they hadn't stopped.

  • Why were saturdays bad? Where you beaten. If so, Im sorry.

  • Mothra and Rodan wernt Godzilla's proper enemies like King Ghidorah or Gigan wer. Iv seen alot of Godzilla clips like this with the same music alllll the time. Its a gd song but getting annoying now. Still A gd video though. Keep Rocking.

  • yeah this takes me back. i watched this like a hundred times

    and back then i didn't pick up on the fact that they got the names wrong. gabra was the wackest monster of all time next to kamacara (sp?)

  • OH MY GOD! NOSTALGIA! I loved this as a kid. My dad used to tape the Godzilla movies on TNT, back when TNT was cool!

  • This is where I first heard that song! And I loved this bumper!

  • Oh, TNT, bring back my good old days, bring back Monstervision!

  • I have this on tape with Godzilla vs. Monster Zero. I love it

  • I remember that I taped Godzilla vs. Mothra, Godzilla vs. Monster-Zero, Godzilla's Revenge, and The Terror of Megegodzilla off TNT's MonsterVision. Those were the good old days of TNT.
