How about that Now Back To Our Regularly Scheduled Programming. That was interesting that they chose Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity by Gustav Holst. It's one of the greatest pieces of classical music ever that was some SNL Moppets

[packerbacker180]

I saw that Muppet SNL a couple weeks ago and debated whether to wait or post it then but I figured I'd wait until the new year. I just didn't want to forget about it, lol.

I know what you mean PB

How about that Rick and Morty, that was nuts:o

[packerbacker180]

Yeah, I finally got into Rick and Morty after watching the season 6 Christmas episode this past December. That lead to me watching season 7 after to see where it went, and now I'm on season 2. Not sure why I avoided it for so long, one of it's creators is Dan Harmon who also created Community, so the humor is right up my alley. Expect more clips in the future.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Well that is great PB, it's fun when you follow a creator of something and then you know what to expect what else they make is

What a way to meet your favorite celeb That was cool he mentioned that he was from Star Trek & Reading Rainbow

OK, I'm gonna post as many vintage local commercial as possible. During Christmas you met Steve Goedeker, so here's this one that is a bit of a introduction

Oh the Little Shop of Horrors Skid Row was great, I think it's an underrated part of the film.

Here's this little KPLR Channel 11 promo from 1989, 35 years ago this year of showing Batman the original Series and then going back to the 3 Stooges. I loved it when Batman was on TV and If this was still the 80s The Three Stooges would be on at 12:00 AM Midnight tonight and woudl be over at 3:00 AM. Those were such fun times for Me



OK, back to Goedekers. Here's this Goedeker's from 1990 Notice he says Best Buy & Circuit City That's because they were his competition in South County. Only Best Buy remains right now.

[packerbacker180]

Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel. It's weird because around here I think it was the arrival of Best Buy that took down Circuit City.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Indeed it was same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel Such fun times. That was cool how KPLR Channel 11 did that Three Stooges...they did gifs before gifs were a thing How about that. It's different in all locations. Goedeker actually outlasted Circuit City but he was taken over by a company & people I didn't know in about 2019 so Best Buy really didn't put him under. Keep in mind this in South County is where Toy Chest & TRU was as well as K-B in the mall. In fact the South County Mall was right across the street from him. I still can't believe that mall is gone Here's this commercial from 1994, 30 years ago this year which I really recall this
