80's Commercials Vol. 730

These commercials aired on ABC on December 2nd, 1988

1. Chevy S-10 Blazer (Cold remedy...ha ha ha...ha. I don't get it)
2. Pathmark
3. Express Mail Service from U.S. Mail
4. Promo for "Phantom Of The Paradise" (Awesome, one of my favorite cult movies! The songs by Paul Williams in this are just amazing)
5. "A Muppet Family Christmas" Commercial Bumper (Brought to you by Playskool. We had the same broadcast recorded from a different affiliate as a kid and the tape was lost or thrown out at some point. Most, if not all of the ads on this recording appear to be exactly the same, so it feels great to finally post them here)
6. Playskool Definitely Dinosaurs (I had a few of these, though none of the ones I had seem to be in this ad though)
7. Nabisco Shredded Wheat (I always get a kick out of this bootleg Sandy Duncan at 2:21 whenever she shows up in an ad)
8. "A Muppet Family Christmas" Commercial Bumper (I really wish that Disney could finally sort all of the music rights issues out with this special and put this up on Disney+ in it's original unedited form. IMO it’s absolutely criminal that it’s easier to watch the more recent subpar Muppet Christmas specials than the classic one)
9. Toys R Us
10. Sudley's Shower (This was my favorite ad here from this broadcast while growing up watching our tape of this and I’ve never come across it anywhere else. It makes me wonder how many kids actually had ridiculous stuff like this)
11. Lego
12. Youth Plus PSA (With Louis Gossett Jr.)
13. Promo for "Murphy's Law"
14. Ritz Bits
15. Playskool Playsounds Stove and Sink
16. Promo for "Who's The Boss" and "Roseanne"
17. "A Muppet Family Christmas" Commercial Bumper
18. Promo for "Moonlighting" and "Thirtysomething" (The season premieres were in December because of a writer's strike earlier that year which delayed production on numerous TV shows and movies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Wr...)
19. Hess Toy Truck
20. Panasonic Programmable VCR
21. WABC Eyewitness News Promo
22. Toys R Us
23. World Wildlife Fund Wild Animals at Wendy's
24. Sony
25. Youth Plus PSA (With Rex & Rita Saurus)
26. Promo for "Mr. Belvedere" (I've never even seen this episode but the sight of Mr. Belvedere dressed as the evil stepmother from Cinderella is forever seared in my brain just from seeing this promo as a kid) and "Just The Ten Of Us" (Tim Burton, is that you?)
