13. Thanksgiving Memories
Today, we're taking a trip back to celebrate three retro traditions that make Thanksgiving not just a feast for our tummies, but for our hearts too. First up, we're tuning into the classic sitcom 'WKRP in Cincinnati', specifically the hilarious 'Turkey's Away' episode. Who can forget the infamous line, 'As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly'? That moment alone is a slice of Thanksgiving TV gold. See it here! https://youtu.be/BGFtV6-ALoQ?si=i1YpF2zvim5RhnK-
Next, we'll float back to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades of the '80s and '90s. Remember when seeing those giant balloons of your favorite characters was as essential as the turkey itself? From Garfield lounging in mid-air to Superman flying down Broadway, these parades were a kaleidoscope of wonder for our younger selves. Witness what I believe is the greatest parade float ever! He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: https://youtu.be/jHao1ewrU30?si=F3-yFoM9BJ37J4p9
And finally, we'll fast-forward a bit to visit a more recent classic, the 'Slapsgiving' episodes of 'How I Met Your Mother'. These episodes brought a new tradition into our lives, blending humor, friendship, and, of course, the anticipation of a good ol' slap. Watch the entire Slap Saga! https://youtu.be/2NsA5eCYjwA?si=fY3oBPyuFMNCezRy
And, of course, we can't forget the iconic Thanksgiving Day tradition for all the wrestling fans out there – the WWF Survivor Series. We’ll look back at the debut of two wildly different characters: the legendary Undertaker and the unforgettable, infamous Gobbledy Gooker. One brought chills and thrills, while the other… well, let’s just say it was a unique moment in wrestling history. The debut of the Gobbled Gooker: https://youtu.be/xh00VNHNB7o?si=aFQKgbAUA52iGJj3 The debut of the Undertaker: https://youtu.be/xp6ruCqGYKM?si=DGgh_Oz5v7pCcP3m
So grab your favorite Thanksgiving leftovers, settle into your most comfortable chair, and let's reminisce about the Thanksgivings of yesteryears. Because today, we're not just sharing stories, we're sharing memories.
