Ernest in times square 1988 Happy New Year America 

YEAH, fresh off Ernest Saves Christmas!!!!!

Jim Varney was a genius.

This was a week after _Hey Vern, It's Ernest_ aired its final episode on CBS. _Hey Vern, It's Ernest_ was cancelled after its only season in 1989, despite star Jim Varney winning a Daytime Emmy Award in the spring of 1989 for Outstanding Performer in a Children's Series. Not even a letter-writing campaign of 30,000 strong could save the show.

1989 the year I was born ^_^

Saturday 31 December 1988 Sunday 1 January 1989 Goodbye 1988! Hello 1989!

CBS New Year specials were always wack. Too bad Jim and Gladys didn't interact onstage together.
