80's Commercials Vol. 679 

This is basically what my afternoons were like after school.From 2:30 to 5:00. Great compilation!

2:54 - Hey, kids! Ever wonder what Super Mario would look like as a trucker with a mullet? Well, wish granted!

Literally everything here is what I watched and loved about my childhood. The Transformers, Thundercats, The Go-Bots, Three's Company, The Jetson's, Cap'n Crunch, Fruity Pebbles.

3:57 - After discovering Pamela the Living Doll, the aliens decided that Earth was not worth saving, and all mankind was doomed. Thanks Worlds of Wonder! Your creepy doll has killed us all.

Look forward to every new upload always takes me back to my childhood.

These are from Sunday, 1/4/87. "New Gidget" episode "Citizen Moondoggie" aired that night at 6:00 PM; "Throb" at 6:30 PM (rerun); the "Three's Company" episode aired Monday, 1/5/87. Also, the Big Tang Drawing Contest was held in 1987.

Go Home by Stevie Wonder is the background music in the SUper Seconds commercial at the beginning of the video. WTAF become WTXF Fox not long after this.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALIEN DOLL COMMERCIAL?

I totally watched The New Gidget and Throb.

Three's Company-Two dates at the same time..? couldve just broken things off with one Jem-that live action abomin-i mean adaptation didnt last long in theaters Pamela The Living Doll-this almost looked like the trailer for a horror movie

The aliens and the doll.... ah

I don't know what's scarier - the local TV kids club guy or the "living doll"! Looks like the good Cap'n needed a little backup from Jem - too bad we didn't see the outcome!

Great memories 👍🏻

So, you had the Transformers and Go-Bots on the same channel? I didn't even think that was even possible. Also (and with apologies to James Rolfe for paraphrasing something from his Cheetahmen II review)..."Yeah, next time a tornado comes into town, eat a bowlful of cheerios and try beating it up like Popeye and see what happens."

That Three's Company episode is a John Ritter tour de force.

WTAF will always stand for “what the actual fuck” for me So long, Ron. Yeah, hit the curb Ron, here’s your walking papers. You bring shame to the meteorological arts!

Jane Leeves who is best known for playing Daphne Moon on the television sitcom Frasier from 1993 until 2004 was in that Throb sitcom clip @8:34 in the light blue jacket.

This may be the perfect 1980s block of cartoons. @1:08 I can still recall the prime time special that introduced Thundercats. But I was sure it was '87. @2:01 Not gonna lie. I wanted a Pound Purry. I wonder if they considered "Pound Pussy"? Nah. @2:32 Question: I get that Barney is doing Indiana JOnes but is there significance to the color of his outfit? Seems out of place. @2:55 My local Fox afilliate also had a Kids Club with a wacky guy like this. So it makes me wonder what brought on all these "Kids Clubs" across the nation @3:33 G1 Transformers and GIJOE.. there was nothing like it! @4:30 Nationally Advertised? Shoot, I'm just used to local advertising. You have my attention now! @5:33 Laverne & Shirley.. Mork & Mindy.. MTM productions were perfect @6:30 I also watched JEM on Sundays @8:26 Holy .. it's GEORGE CLOONEY!! @8:54 New Gidget. LOL. I watched this show. (Anyone ever see the New Monkees?) BRAVO on this PERFECT collection of 80's shows!

Eat it Ron!

My sister had the gray striped Pound Purrie they used in the commercial. She named it Whiskers, too (inspired by the commercial, I'm sure. Me, I named mine "Purrie." How original of me). Interesting how they used footage from the original 1984 MLP special for the MLP 'n Friends promo. Must've been when they butchered . . . . um, I mean edited it for the series (sorry)

Who was the announcer for the Thundercats promo before the day/time part?

Scandal! George Clooney shaves his legs

My little sister had the Pamela doll. I never liked her.
