One of the best moments in television history:

Bernie and Phyl’s

The new Bernie and Phyl’s commercials make me sad. The sons are kind of boring. Bernie and Phyl themselves were much better.

I do like this one though:

Some awful Bradyness

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

We used to watch it every Thanksgiving growing up. The house smelled of turkey and my sister and I would be watching the parade and drawing while watching the floats go past.

We only went to the parade once. It was probably one of the coldest Thanksgivings I remember. I was 13 and we got up early to get on the train. We found a spot towards the beginning of the parade so it wasn’t as crowded. I remember climbing up on the base of a lamp post to see the parade better. Snoopy was always my favorite float.

Right behind where we were standing, there was a coffee shop, so we went in there and drank hot chocolate while watching the parade from the inside.

I don’t watch the parade often now, but today I’ve been watching. The best part was that the PARADE GOT RICKROLLED! And it was awesome. Some puppet even said, “I love Rickrolling!” I had to sit through Miley Cyrus but it was worth it.

One of the best old DOS games…

THIS is PBS

You know what used to scare me when I was little? The creepy face on the PBS logo.

The old PBS bumpers were creepy, too!!!

Absolutely terrifying!!!

Googlers love Mount Airy Lodge

Since I wrote my post about Beautiful Mount Airy Lodge last summer, I have gotten almost 900 hits from people searching for “Mount Airy Lodge” or variants of that phrase. Some people found my blog post from Googling the line from their old theme song: “All you have to bring is your love of everything…”

I think that term gets me more traffic than anything else I’ve ever written. My I Hate You, RMV post, my Harriet Carter post, and my kugel recipe (or really, my family recipe…I can’t take full credit!)

I guess there are a lot of people feeling nostalgic for the commercials aired in Greater NYC from the 70s-90s!!!

A few other gems were the Carvel Commercials will the creepy Tom Carvel urging you to buy a Fudgie the Whale or Cookiepuss:

Or Crazy Eddie…as you know, his prices were insane:
