You know, I watched the Garfield Thanx special the other night and wondered what the original commercials were. Now I know. And WBBM's presence on C-band satellite (via PrimeTime24) helped fill the void left by areas with no access to another CBS affiliate. Great choice especially if you were a Bears fan. (Da Bears would succumb to the Redskins in Washington a few days later.)
Movies, cookies and cereal were all well and good, but what they really wanted that year was a GAME BOY!
I have the same tape!!! My Dad recorded this off CBS when I was little with the Garfield Thanksgiving and it has the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and Bugs Bunny Thanksgiving too! I LOVE watching the commercials! Crazy it was taped the same night!!!
I had that Playskool Weebles Farm as a little boy and I still have it today. I'm surprised they didn't show the picture of the yellow cow w/ the letter "T" on its tag which is located on the toy's backside. I dunno what happened to all the weebles, though, but I'm sure they ain't far.
You're welcome, I can't always figure them out, but I try as best as I can.

I don't think my ears deceived me here; promo #11 used the Rafferty Blockbusters theme.

It sure did; it was the all-piano version.
