CBS Saturday commercials 1988

[moondragon05]

the shows back then are so much better than the crap they show now

[johnpecquex]

George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg? Aren't those like, some of the best directors?!

[Luigi84289]

Still remember when my folks and I first went to see The Land Before Time. One of the greatest animated films ever.

[RodStewartfan1]

Man I miss Saturday mornings so much the way they were in the 80s-90s! I agree The land before time from 88 will always be the best one!!

[tybo09]

Most random comment ever, I know, but this was recorded the day before my 8th birthday.

[OinariKanji]

Wow this was 3 days after I was born :D makes me feel old lol

[VirtuaCory]

Where has time gone. Great stuff.

[FLPman]

Ice Cream Joe or something like that

they were little waffle cones and ice cream balls.. that was awesome!

also captain crunch (not the cereal) but they did have glow in the dark sogs, the robot, and the captain as little figurines..

in the 80's evetythign had it's own figurine

[bozothefighterpilot]

Ive got myself a VHS tape full of Saturday morning cartoons and commercials from Feb. and March. 1988 too.

[Jontiac]

wow, that pizza party commercial/game (which i owned) would have been lost in the depths of my mind but this clip brought it back no problem.. funny how the brain works..

[devulboy1]

Party...Pizza Party...let's rap like its 1988! The Italian chef shown the brothers how they make good pizza & actually can rap. Italians are known to sing, while Swedes can make a mean spicy meatball to put the Italians to shame crying "mamma". Btw, my own papa (father) was French & those Looney Tunes I saw on ABC featured Pepe Le Pew, and I'm like introduced to the French. Since I'm part Cherokee from Mom's side, I find it sad to never seen an "Indian" on 80's cartoons (or did I miss it?) +

[devulboy1]

I seen that movie in theatres & never imagined "the land before time" didn't gone extinct on TV, video & DVD. I award the "Swedish chef" as the best ethnic stereotype (LoL!) & we should have kids study about the great Swedes whose ancestors pillaged all of Europe a thousand years ago. Nevermind, we have "Norse/Viking" black metal music we listened to a decade later. I watched some CBS, usually "Garfield & friends" I was more into ABC schedule & when NBC shown toons, a few I cared for. +

Pizza Party! OMG! I SO wanted to get that board game when I was a kid! :D

[cuteycindyhoney]

I had Pizza Party! (^_^)

[ignoranceandwant]

Right on! The dates are correct..."The Land Before Time" premiered Nov. 18, 1988.

We used to eat Croonchy Stars, which had wonderfully ridiculous puzzles on the back of the box. One was a "big spelling contest!" were the winner was the one who could spell the word "rutabaga".

[FilmNMusicBuff77]

1988-1989 WAS A BAD TIME FOR ME BECAUSE, MY TEACHER HAD TAKEN MY PRIVELIDGES AWAY BECAUSE, I was behind in my school work. two years later, I tried to smack her because, she got nasty with me, and the treatment when I had her as a teacher.

[devulboy1]

I was 8 at the time, my parents divorced a year before & Mom wasn't able to find a job yet, the wall street crash in 87 caused a recession to follow in 6 years. Growing up in Sou. Cal., the local economy was in bad shape from mismanagement in the state government level. I wasn't doing bad at school though, did my homework & paid attention to my teachers, I was special ed. with the "retards" or "misfits" came from "little busses". I don't think toay's kids can get away with saying those terms.+

[EroSennin6669]

"I was 8 at the time, my parents divorced a year before..." I'm right with you, just on the other side of the country:)

I was sp.ed. math and honors English. Hope life's better for you these days.

[dougd1015]

Some of these 80's television shows carried on over to the 90's playing re-runs so I actually do remember quite a few of these.

That weird Teenage Wolf man thing.

I never watched it, but I did see the opening along with commercial in regards to it.

[alltradespro]

this is like the best commercial break every...croonchy stars were the effin best, they need to come back out with that. and PIZZA PARTY...i've been lookin for both these commercials forever

[somethingcar77]

Croonchy Stars were so good. I totally forgot about those.

[CineRecon]

I just had flashback watching that Pizza Party commercial, oh man, that felt weird

[Civonos]

Yeah me too!

[kagomeshuko]

My sister had the Pizza Party game. It was her FAVORITE game for a long time!

[virgochic00]

WOW i was only 3 months old ....lol

[texasusa05]

Every kid got yelled at for being elbow deep in the cereal box trying to dig out the prize. Or picking all the marshmallows out of lucky charms and eating them. The cereal part tasted like dog food.

[skinnerburgers]

Somehow I guess Pizza Party never caught on.

[betterversionn]

LOL - i owned it!

[janglar]

Yes! The Pizza party rap is timeless, although my cousin had the game and it was about as fucking retarded as possible

[threefour5]

Fun stuff, I remember that Pizza party commercial, never had the game but that song came back to me like it was yesterday.

[ekkostar]

Croonchy Stars were real? I thought that was just a joke!

[carlitosbug]

Which Garfield and Friends episode shows the TV spot to The Land Before Time? Is it The Binky Show/Keeping It Cool/Don't Move! or is it Magic Mutt/Short Story/Monday Misery?

[Ihearyoucalling]

None of the Land Before Time sequels will ever top the first!

[fmfanatic]

OMG!!! Thanks for bringing back some fun childhood memories -- a time when the commercials were almost as good as the shows themselves!!!

[metop33]

I so agree! Kids today have no idea how good and genuine tv use to be like! They don't have anything like this anymore. Kinda sad ;/

[malloryd]

and little did they know that they would overkill the land before time and do 22 more.

[wheels85]

The first Land Before Time was and always will be the best.

[fl1992]

God Bless Muppet King Jim Henson who performed The Swedish Chef's voice and head- May he always rest in peace in heaven. The Chef's hands and arms were performed by Muppeteer Frank Oz!

[booker80]

[campsports]
