Halloween 1993 was a crummy day for me - Jets beat the Giants that day, it rained so it made Trick or Treating rather difficult, but this Simpsons marathon was on FOX so it made it all better!
Its a shame because Bruce Campbell was really on his way to becoming a big star I think. Always felt that shows failure kinda stunted his career, unfortunately.
5:32 - This is actually pretty cool, as the original idea early on with The Simpsons was that it would one day be revealed that Homer was Krusty. Not only are they voiced by the same actor, but Krusty's body was literally Homer just in clown get up. Originally, the writers thought people would notice, so they were going to do an episode where it would be revealed that Homer was secretly Krusty, which would put Bart in a dilemma as his father (a man he does not respect) and his childhood hero were the same person. But, no one really seemed to notice, so the writers dropped the idea.
That was one of my favorite Simpson's Halloween specials. "Oh good, the curtains are on fire!" One thing I love about Addams Family Values is it's so quotable and you notice something new every time you watch it. There's a nice bit of irony in Kirstie Alley saying she's a Vulcan in Look Who's Talking Now because she was Lt. Saavik in Wrath of Khan
I'm not sure what I was doing that Halloween since I was only a year old and my older sister was 3 years old but it's still interesting to catch a glimpse of what TV was like before I can remember it. Hope your Halloween this year was a good one 80sCommercialVault.
12:16 I still have that recorded KTVU FOX premiere of Ghost Mom on my vhs as I speak. I watched it that very night. Hope I can find the tape one day. --------- The other title it's refered to today is "Bury me in Niagara"
Oh wow, in the anti-smoking PSA, I swear the guy that asks him for a smoke is the guy who played Bulk in Power Rangers for years. Never realized he did anything before that!
5:30 Krusty doesn't have big feet, that was proven in the episode 'Krusty gets busted'. I'm thinking that it's Side Show Bob dressed as Krusty dressed as Homer.
Whoa, this set captures the Florida orange juice commercial with "this is junior high, you don't bring your lunch, you buy your lunch." I'm sure that commercial was a few years old by then, too.
what do you mean "collect all 12 nestle crunch jammin designs"... it's chocolate. do they expect people to hold on to these opened chocolate bars and display them on a shelf for years on end?
Fox Halloween Bash-Bruce should seriously look into reviving Brisco Cnty Jr..love the fact that the theme music lives on in NBC Olympic Games promos Martin-this episode was funny"YOU HAVE BEEN A THORN,IN MY ASS!!!" Martin should have caught on earlier to the fact that Varnell was stealing his gimmicks Batman Happy Meal Toys-B & R maybe should be thinking that Joker is spraying poison gas on all the customers/employees.. 90210-Brandon better have a good escape route planned for when the husband comes home.. Hyundai-his response to her inquiry.."Well wouldnt you like to know..? ;) " Ghost Mom-so thats what happened to Edith Bunker after she died.. The Sinbad Show-loved the cameo by Ron O'Neal in character as Superfly in this episode
5:04 - I agree with 80sCommercialVault that Addams Family Values is much better than the first one, and easily my favorite Addams Family movie. Yes, it's sad that we never got a third film with this cast, due to the passing of Raul Julia the next year (he was apparently very sick when he was making this film), and the fact that the box office for this wasn't as good as the first film. But, at least the live action film franchise got to go out on a really high note with this. (And no, I don't count the ultra-cheap straight to video movie, Addams Family Reunion, with Tim Curry as Gomez.)
Yes no kidding. Sega ruled the video game scene in 1993-1994. Then in 1995 people forgot all about it and either went back to Mario or played Mortal Kombat.
It ideally should have ended when Phil Hartman died in 1998. Or alternatively, after "The Simpsons Movie" in 2007. It is effectively a zombie at this point and probably will not be put to rest until another one of the voice cast passes away. Even at this point I'm not sure that would kill it.
