1980s ABC Saturday Morning PSA Memories

[@poetmiester]

If you were a kid in the 80s you were very fortunate! They were some of the best times ever! Thank you for this trip down memory lane! 😄💖✨

[@stevewilson5749]

Who's still listening to the late great Luther Vandross telling us about your carrier choice's in 2020! Remember it's Never too much!RIP Luther Vandross ❤️😢

I damn near cried threw this. My child hood I miss so much. Better times.

[@plateshutoverlock]

Back when people had hopes and dreams.

[@LUCKO2022]

Love this and also it depresses me at the same time. It just makes me realize how old I am is all. I remember this stuff when it was new.

[@billconway4860]

[@traciewilliams2072]

I SO enjoyed watching these commercials! Great memories!! Luther truly could sing A-N-Y thing! 🥰

[@ThisGenXLife]

These were awesome. I did learn a lot from these. Great memories. I hope kids today have something similar.

[@brandonpage7087]

@ThisGenXLife, nope, sadly, they don't. I really think that should be rectified.

[@kingkuts]

Saturday morning...and a bowl of cereal 👍

[@w1975b]

My choice of cereal frosted flakes (There Grrrrrret!) funny, I'm watching these rememable videos, I never saw a ad of Kellogg's frosted flakes on the ABC Saturday mornings breaks🤔

Me too

[@kgoundan]

Even with a degree you could encounter the future blob.

[@manofmanyinterests]

Sadly, yes. I wish I had been steered in the right career path. Decades later, I should be well on the way to a great retirement. Instead, I'll need to work until I drop. However, I do have ideas which I think will be successful.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

@@manofmanyinterests How I feel.

[@gspendlove]

That's true. But without one there is no question. The few people who have had long-lasting success without going to college got lucky, and you can't count on good luck. Luck favors the prepared.

Ugh, this makes me so sad. I wish I could go back to the '80s. This current era just blows so much! People have lost their minds today. 🤮

[@billconway4860]

Totally

[@brandonpage7087]

@Gildedbutterfly1976, agreed!! This is certainly the most miserable time period, I've ever lived through! Yes, so many seem to have lost their minds nowadays, with their crazy ass political views. There's a reason so many people nowadays are jonesing for their childhoods or adolescence!!

[@Cameroo]

Thanks for taking the time to upload these! I wish they were better quality but it is what it is. :) Stuff I never noticed is the kid in the Beans and Rice PSA was in a whole series of food PSAs. Also neat to find out Luthor Vandross was the voice of Zack of All Trades. Very fun!

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Excellent upload- lots of good childhood memories here!

[@abueloorgulloso]

Do your job do your job, plan for a future job. And you won’t feeeearrr…the mean ole future blob! That is the part of the psa that sticks out the most in my memory 😂😂😂 good ole Luther Vandross rip 😔

[@btetschner]

A+ video! Amazing PSA memories, I LOVE IT.

[@coolbluelights]

Wow. I had a piece from that choppers segment stuck in my head for the last 35 years but I always thought I saw it on Sesame Street. I also remember the Zack of all trades bits. I didn't know then nor do I know now what I want to do. ADHD is a trip.

[@coreforce9872]

YuckMouth seems like a nice guy. I’d ditch school to chill with him.

[@doodlestrudel1991]

Ok i was born in 2009, But something about older media just fascinates me Why can't PSAs like this be on tv nowadays? They don't scare the bajeebuz out of you and still teach you something valuable You can keep the serious ones, But we need something like this from time to time

[@gracebleekman2557]

I was born in 2002 but I totally understand.

[@andywolan]

23:39 - "Computer Whiz". Wow, it's been a while since I heard that as a job title.

Now stay tuned for American Bandstand following School House Rock,next on ABC!❤️

[@stevewilson5749]

Yes it was 😃

Great to see O.G. Readmore again!

[@stevewilson5749]

And as always; We return after these messages!❤️💜😀🤗

[@brandonpage7087]

Those words were special to us, who grew up hearing them on Saturday mornings, in the era of the tv bumpers. Nowadays, with the credits squeeze, & so many not watching TV anymore, those words mean absolutely nothing to today's youths.

[@sha11235]

I remember the one with the cowboy and cheese.

Luther Vandross as Zach. I know now that it's him, but I didn't realize it back then.

[@pinkponypuppy9586]

7:00 such a simple design and fluid animation! I adore they’re voices too

[@samikero688]

I came here to see the beans and rice cartoon song. ABC really did have a lot of good PSAs back in the day, and 40 years later it's still solid information.

[@pinkponypuppy9586]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@samikero688 yes they really did have one of the best commercials! Really a golden time for alot of people sadly I wasn’t alive by then. It’s shocking how even after 40 years like you said they still have good information, the different between the old days and today is shocking.

[@DyrianLightbringer]

O.G. Readmore really had a lot of PSAs. You know TV is seriously addictive when they aren't afraid to tell you to read.

[@brandonpage7087]

Anybody ever notice how in the ABC Weekend Specials, that featured O.G. Readmore, he had a British accent, yet, in these classic bumpers, he had no accent?

[@omegahtv6779]

Peace to Luther Vandross for singing against the evil schemes of The Future Blob!

[@alexanderpytko5394]

The last one, about popcorn. "I like my best unbuttered with just a pinch of salt." I've had popcorn unbuttered with salt and I HATE IT that way! Butter always makes it taste better. But I never buy popcorn at the movie theaters, for some reason, it upsets my stomach. I think it's the coconut oil they put in it.

[@kellycorredor1602]

12:36 is it Atlantic Avco Embassy Records or AAE records?

[@Flassh81]

It sounds silly and simple. But I think these psa's need to return to KZbin videos. Kids seems to lack some of this most basic info.

[@brandonpage7087]

Agree 100%, & that's actually a great idea. It certainly would be the only way to get them to pay attention to them.
