If, despite all possible logic, I end up working as a director-producer-writer-actor in short films, I'm gonna rip-off that "window shopping" joke/pun because it is so awesome.
I have this exact set of commercials and whenever I see the Christmas Comes to Willow Creek spot I always have to exclaim, "we have a lady on board AND SHE IS IN LABOR!!"
Not only is the husband in the Scope commercial a douche for spending 1.50 on his wife at Christmas time, but he's also insinuating that he won't kiss her unless she uses it. Hope she dumped him!
I remember when Geraldo came to Janesville, WI to interview Ken Peterson of the KKK & got punched in the nose. We watched it on TV in school. It was awesome.
But "the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" really takes the cake. How could I have not seen this? Somehow I missed out on the story of Santa's childhood. Poor me.
@ajpecanic It is without a doubt THE best movie about Santa. There is some other studio that took a swing at it in the 90's, and they pulled it of pretty well too. Buy them both. :)
CBS was *unbeatable* in the 1980s for Saturday Mornings.... and 1988's image campaign and lineup was unstoppbable with Muppet Babies, Garfield, Mighty Mouse, Hey Vern It's Ernest, and Pee-Wee's Playhouse! Great all around!
However, Pat Sajak's show.... at least it did better than Chevy Chase's on Fox a few years later....
The tune for the jingle to the two Bounce commercials on this video was inspired by "Jump (For My Love)" by the Pointer Sisters. A YouTuber named dadsoldtapes has a different commercial with the same tune, but with vocals (not sure if it's by the Pointers or not).
as Tom Jones would say/sing "it's not unusual", however I gotta ask 4 curiosity reasons were/are you a vegetarian/vegan or had strict parents or did you never have the desire for the Golden arches. That said....... you've never had them before...... don't even think about eating them now
My parents were not strict and I was never a vegan...the stuff just looks gross to me. I do not even like the smell. If I want a hamburger, I just make it homemade.
So "The Pat Sajak Show" was 90 minutes long like SNL, except it aired on weekdays. In case you were wondering what Pat's up to today, he's currently hosting a far more successful show, the syndicated game show "Wheel of Fortune."
Thicke of the Night (yes, Alan Thicke had a late show).
The Chevy Chase Show
The Magic Hour
Keenan Ivory Wayans
Jimmy Kimmel (Yeah, I know he's still on the air but it won't be long until he is cancelled and indicted for the atrocious war crimes he passes as late night entertainment.)
"Oh no, you got lost. Oh no, there's T-Rex. Oh no, your friends are j-holes. Oh no, you realize you love them once they're gone. Oh no, you're a j-hole. Oh yes, everything worked out! Oh no, T-Rex ate your mom."
Every time I see Land Before Time promos, I think of the NC's Saddest Nostalgic moments. "How am I supposed to feel sad for something that died millions of years ago?"
*in high pitched crying voice*: "LIKE THIS!"
So the Claymation Christmas DID air again in '88; that's likely when I watched it. I taped it when it aired that time, and to this day I still watch the tape it's on every Christmas. I've even introduced it to modern-day kids to the thing. Can't let the classics be forgotten!
I have these same commercials and my collection, and the Christmas comes to Willow Creek promo ALWAYS cracks me up. "we have a woman on board, and she is in LABOR!!"

Claymation Christmas was awesome! And, thanks to YouTube, next month, I'm going to watch it for the first time in over 20 years.
As far as Rankin-Bass Santa origin stores go, I much prefer "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" to the rather odd "Life and Adventures...".
I can't believe it took until 1988 for diaper companies to realize that boys and girls have different anatomy.
Isotoner slippers--for when it's 5:30 pm Christmas Eve and you still have one more person to buy for.

Plus I felt CBS' own "Television You Can Feel" image campaign from that year, while high energy still, was not as good as CBSpirit from 1987.

jwgreek8606 3 years ago
Technically, Dave didn't take his timeslot, since this short-lived Sajak CBS show was on at 12:30.
80sCommercialVault 3 years ago
Actually, Sajak was competing with Johnny Carson. But, Ansenio Hall help out in the failure of Sajak, in part!
mikejaysmith 3 years ago
Looking into it, I guess the Sajak show ran from 11:30 to 1:00, which meant it competed against both Carson and Letterman. No wonder it failed.
