Little Caesars- I own that puppet toy of that mascot advertised in this commercial. The pizza slice it was originally holding in its hand is long gone, but it’s still holding up well after so many years. Crispix- I agree with your comment about this cereal getting soggy in milk quickly. For that reason, I enjoy eating it dry. I bet it’s even better in a snack mix like shown in this commercial.

Surprisingly, this would not be the only Uncle Buck TV series, as there would be another in 2015. Both series only lasted a single season.

[@brittneythompson7218]

Man the 90’s was such a great time. Anything from the 90’s makes me feel so comforted and happy 😊

[@singularmusing970]

Oh my I love this era. So comforting.

9:21 Somehow, The McRib returned

[@yusakug]

I definitely remember watching The Flash back in the day. Too bad the show wound up only running one season. While it did okay, the ratings weren't strong enough to support more, since it was one of the most expensive shows on television at the time. Still, it did give us some memorable episodes, like the ones where Mark Hamil appeared as the Trickster, which was basically a prototype of his Joker voice from the Batman Animated Series.

I remember my mom picking us up from school in that new blazer as a surprise. She just bought it that day (brand new), and she had already tinted the windows while we were in school lol. It was black, one of my favorite family cars growing up. I think i was just 9 years old, and my sister was 17. We were SHOOK. 😂

[@Rouglas]

Top Shelf actor is the Scranton Airport Attendant from Home Alone. Classic.

[@diceman74]

Those TopShelf meals didn't work. I'd eat 3 or 4 of them in a sitting and never lost a pound.

[@stratoplayer1988]

I believe the Maytag announcer was done by Fred Gwynne. AKA Herman Munster, Jud Crandall (Pet Sematary), and Judge Chamberlain Haller (My Cousin Vinny).

[@user-mk6ei9bh6z]

When CBS was on fire I was five years old when these commercials aired and John Wesley Shipp was a very good flash just my opinion

[@kx4532]

Never ride with Auntie Lockbrakes!

[@switch4960]

Myself, our parents and grandparents watched these. Thanks for the memories and happy holiday season!

[@charliejoson9145]

I miss the McRib. It appeared in McDonalds Philippines in 2014. I took a photo of it as remembrance and now I'm thinking about it. Also, is the Rescue 911 here the same as the one narrated by William Shatner? I fondly have memories of watching Rescue 911 in the 90's [syndicated]

[@JFD62780]

I'd tend to think so; I don't remember Rescue 911 without Shatner! XD

[@yusakug]

9:05 - If I were Debbie, I'd be worried about what I'd find under the tree that year if your mom forgets you're 16 and not 6...

[@DanZero77]

The WCPX promo for The Challengers wasn't using the NBC "Be There" jingle, it's the "Turn To" promo by Frank Gari, used by this station and many others across the country around this time. An example would be "Turn to 3" from KVBC which appeared on 80's Commercials Vol. 427.

[@80sCommercialVault]

I knew it was something I'd heard used to promote an NBC station

[@TTrigg]

Swanson Great Starts Breakfast-too bad the pancakes didnt come with orange slices Barbie Children's Summit-Margot Robbie's Barbie should organize one of these for the sequel The Flash-John Wesley Shipp > Ezra Miller WIOU-thankfully,she didnt do the story,thus "that animal"remained behind bars WCPX 6 News Promo-r.i.p Eve Arden Dallas-Bobby Ewing shouldve known not to mess with Erica Kane Love 94.5 WWLV-FM-plot twist..the person whom they were talking to was a rep from the station's competition

[@sylvial2835]

I completely forgot about the Barbie child summit
