Cbs Holiday Commercials | December 19, 1988

That was a crazy magical week…except for the Pan Am 103 bombing that Wednesday. As a kid, I paid it no mind as I was elated to be suffering from the chicken pox and thus got to skip church that Wednesday night to stay home and watch the Pee-wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special, which I taped and watched over and over and over again the rest of the month, driving my older siblings nuts.

Oh wow that's so cool that you can remember so clearly back to that time. My older sister loved the special as well. The special came out a few years before I was born, but I was able to see the Pee-Wee Herman show on Broadway in 2011 and it was like Pee-Wee's Playhouse Live on Stage with a lot of the original cast. Happy Holidays! 🙂

11:19 - Count Duracula the Duracell Vampire is trying to keep the fun of Halloween going even when Christmas is on its way. Could he have been the one to kick-start the idea for Tim Burton's the Nightmare Before Christmas? 14:26 - The Bunny (who at the time was brand new) must have made a deal with the King to get people to buy his batteries.
