Robot costume FAIL. If you freeze the frame you can see Barney's head as he transforms. He needs more than help -- he needs to get his own damn Pebbles
Some of those One To Grow On segments were cheesy -- but this one with Murdock and Urkel is pretty epic
I used love Tato Skins! Even as late as '91 they were still selling them.
As for Jaleel White, you can bearily reconize young Steve Urkel.
LOL, Look! Its 11 year old Zach Morris, its ironic that "Good Morning Miss Bliss" begin production just a year after this commerical aired. Oh and Gummi Bears spend the first few years on NBC until 1989.
You have purchased -chocolate chip cookies-. You may also enjoy -movies about karate-. If not, consider it a prize.
Kids, if a fire somehow breaks out in your sink and you're tall enough to reach the taps, don't bother your neighbours. They have more important problems.
My Child Dolls - There's one that looks like you! Provided you already look like either of them. White curly brunette, white straight blonde, they're all here!
@fattoler This show used to be on NBC before the show moved to "The Disney Afternoon" back in the late 80's or early 90's along with reruns from the previous show that are also part of the "Disney Afternoon" block.
Does anybody else think that it was a bit overtly hostile and bratty when that little boy in the pudding pie commercial blurted out, "CREEP!" at the older girl when she ate the whole pudding pie without giving him any? I mean, she WAS being a creep, but I thought it a bit strange to put something like that in a commercial. Showing kids name-calling is not a very good precendent. Even for the 80's...
@MsFarzee I know! I was just going to say that, but saw that you already had. It seemed like if that girl (now woman) was given a choice between sex and a Hostess pudding pie....she would pick the pudding!
The "Betcha Bite-A Chip" boy from the "Chips Ahoy!" Ad was 'Wormser' from "Revenge of the Nerds". His name is Andrew Cassese. 25 years since these classic ads, wow!
That Water Wiggle looks toned down from the version I remember from the 1970s, which was like a medieval torture device. We used it once and NEVER again!
And speaking of terror, that Sunkist Fun Fruits commercial? If I were under ten years old in 1986, I would have seen that and had nighmares for months. Couple that with the unnerving surrealism of the Levi's ad right after it (seriously, what drugs were the people who made that one on?)...
@blugreen123 Tato Skins never went anywhere! Keebler simply sold that brand to the maker of the T.G.I. Friday's brand of snacks. So, if you can find the T.G.I. Friday's Potato Skins chips, you will have found Tato Skins. :)
Barney may have been imitating Prince, but they wouldn't dare mention him by name, for fear of being sued! Also Barney may have went to Pathrock to buy Pebbles, but it was more fun stealing Fred's!!!
Cookie Crisp Cereal was one of my favs growing up!! Loved Tato Skins and yes T.G.I Fridays does make Tato Skins. They're in the vending machine at my work. I always get the Chedder Bacon flavor! Those Pudding Pies looked gross! Those "One To Grow On" skits are Saturday morning memories!!
in the first smurf intro with the horse, the guy on the goat is Peewit from "Johan and Peewit " the series Peyo did before he did the smurfs. The smurfs started as a sideline in the Johan and Peewit series. In Sweden they where called Johan and Pellevin, their series is set in medival times. Johan is a page trying to become a knight and Peewit is his trusted companion.
@kerberos623 The original comics themselves involved the two guys on all sorts of adventures from what I noticed. Hardly any of them were ever published in the US besides the story that introduced The Smurfs ("The Smurfs and the Magic Flute").
Great set!! Tato Skins were good. Can't remember when they were discontinued but I don't think they lasted long. I love your descriptions on Barney's mental status & his determination to get Pebbles. Just buy a damn box dude...LOL. Hostess pudding pies were GROSS & I've always loved the old Apple Jacks box!!!
@Chad9976 I know, I let someone else in on that bit of info shortly after I left my first comment to you. :-) All the same, it's good to know that some things from my childhood haven't completely disappeared...they've just been renamed or changed around somehow.
june 7th? that means it was most likely the first saturday of summer vacation and i was a die hard gummi bears fan so i KNOW i was watching these when they aired. sometimes it truly brings tears to my eyes...i love these videos so much. thank you!
@drsnowmon You can still find Tato Skins, you just have to look harder. Keebler gave Tato Skins to the company that makes the T.G.I. Friday's brand of snacks. So, if you can find the T.G.I. Friday's Potato Skins chips, you found Tato Skins; they're just 'slightly' camouflaged. :)
You're not alone. I loved those pudding pies too, along with the fruit pies. People can recoil all they like but they were one of my many joys of childhood. Haven't thought about a pudding pie in years but now I want one bad. LOL.
Thank you, Murdock, for teaching us fire safety. Perhaps you're not crazy after all.
The My Child dolls were notoriously hard to keep clean because they were so fuzzy. I almost regretted having one at the time since they were also more money than a Cabbage Patch Kid.
So this is what was on tv 13 days before I was born.
