Love this commercial. I remember getting excited whenever I saw it come on T.V. The good 'ol days...

[nomadcowatbk]

Wasn't this in a Stallone flick?

[blackmale78]

[TheTVTastic]

I can STILL and STILL DO sing this jingle.

[TexDad1971]

I'm not at all happy with this.......I can only click the 'like' button ONCE? Terrible. Just terrible.

[wam785]

I was vborn in '68 and me and my sister would get so excited when this commercial came on. Makes me wish I was a kid again...

[dsslave2]

I remember Toys R US used to be BARGAINTOWN which was a toy store.

[mjpk6269]

Is it "STILL OPEN IN YONKERS"? If not, when did it close and what took its place?

[michellesupport89]

This is just absolute perfection. I remember it used to make me cry as a kid.

*sniff* This is one of my fave pre-Christmas memories as a kid. Watching after school cartoons and sitcoms on WNEW, adding to my way too long Christmas list whenever a commercial came on. I was born in '66 and never even went to a TRU until I was grown, but the anticipation, the magic that was Christmas in the 70s is defined by this simple 30-second commercial. Kids today don't know what they missed out on.

@HardyGirl66 You capture it perfectly... I feel ya! I can remember this even on WPIX and also during morning cartoons. I am writing, each year, a bit about what we have lost by having grown up and losing the eyes and innocents of childhood if it becomes a book, you would be someone who would enjoy the read. From family to TV it all changes, doesn't it? I do know that if you close your eyes you can journey to a wonderous place called our youth... Too bad reality forces us to open our eyes again

Nothing like Christmas in the 70's!!

[morbidious]

I was born in 71 and I remember this commercial quite fondly! When I saw this commercial as a kid in the late 70's and 80's I got a thrill that shot through me that can only be described as the anticipation of Christmas being just around the corner! Oh the magic of those days!

[liwowoli]

It's the Toys R Us time of year? Wow. That's the most honest description of Christmas I've ever heard.

[AdamCartwrightILoveU]

I was born in 68 so I remember this commercial in the late 70s.oh the magic of those days

[moviebuff383]

...1976 ? i thought this was 80's?..lol i saw this in the movie Cobra 1986 :)

[ghostrepublic]

I remember seeing this commercial back in the late 1970s when I was a kid (I was born in 1969) One wonders why toys r us doesnt still play this commercial these years. Its fun, charming, nostalgic, delightful, and timeless. Certainly much better than any other comercial they produce and air these days.

@ghostrepublic You're absolutely right... I'm the same age as you... and I coud'nt agree more!

[Imback1950s]

Oh, the memories : ' (

[ghostrepublic]

@Imback1950s I'm with you.

[TheBillyChocolate]

Perfection!!!! The Absolute greatest commercial of all time!!! I still remember this coming on television.

[schroeder8911]

@TheBillyChocolate Back when we could only view The Grinch once a year. Now we view what we want, whenever.

[retroguy1976]
