As Jennifer Lopez famously stated in that golden turkey, GIGLI: “Its turkey time. Gobble, Gobble.” (Relive the experience here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCQEs4uXbSc)

Yes, its Turkey Time once again and VHS Rewind is back with its Thanksgiving way-back machine: in this episode, we taking you back in time to relive the 1991 Thanksgiving Day Parade (courtesy of an NBC affiliate in Eureka, California!).

Guided by some cringe-inducing banter between hosts Katie Couric and Willard (loves the very young ladies) Scott, this particular Thanksgiving Day Parade offers the usual flotilla of floats, clowns, off-key high school marching bands, baton twirlers and of course your then-favorite character B A L L O O N S (Woody Woodpecker; Betty Boop (I think Willard has a woody for this one); Pink Panther; Raggedy Anne; Bart Simpson and more). And this parade is chock full of top Grade-A talent: John Schneider (!) SINGS! Kelsey Grammar SINGS! Keith Carradine SINGS! Joey Lawrence (‘memba him?) SINGS! Susan Anton (‘memba her?) SINGS! (and taking a nod from Willard, one of the VHS Rewind (loves the very young ladies) co-hosts (yes, it’s Christopher) swoons over Susan. And so much more incredible talent is on display (PC Quest (‘memba them?) (look them up if you don’t ‘member). And what is a Thanksgiving Day Parade without a depressing song from the then-Broadway show MISS SAIGON?!?! This parade abounds with so many great fashions. Given that this is the Thanksgiving Day parade, and Christmas is less than a month away, the commercials in between the parade are curiously not-Xmas-ey in flavor (some are, but most are about Cotton (!) (with an incredible earworm song sung by Richie Havens(!), unemployment in America (!!), Gameboys, Nintendo, Vaseline(!!!!) with no Xmas flavor whatsoever.

So please Take a listen to this holiday tradition from VHS Rewind and we hope you have a very Happy (and delicious) Thanksgiving. Gobble Gobble.

Welcome back!  Chris and I are relaunching VHS Rewind with a “CoreyGeddon”!   We are diving deep into the works of Corey Feldman and will not be stopped! To start the fun off we discuss the often forgotten classic, Meatballs 4 from 1992!

“When the wealthy and scheming Monica Shavetts (Sarah Douglas) intends to buy Camp Lakeview and turn it into a golf course, owner Neil Peterson (Jack Nance) hires the young and spunky Ricky Wade (Corey Feldman) to handle the situation. Ricky has a bold idea: He wants the summer camp’s waterskiing team to compete with Monica’s rival team from Camp Twin Oaks. The showdown will determine Camp Lakeview’s future, and the underhanded Monica will stop at nothing to win.”

Meatballs 4 was released on March 6, 1992

C-c-c-catch the Wave, People !! It’s the most m-m-m-m-merriest time of the year and VHS Rewind is proud to be spending this holiday reviewing M-M-M-Max Headroom’s Giant Christmas Turkey 1986. This is, indeed, a strange bird of a special with the faux computer-generated host singing songs (some of which are actually Christmas-flavored and one of which, “Merry Christmas Santa Claus (You’re a Lovely Guy”) actually released as a single, getting sch-sch-sch-schmaltzy with kids and conducting the strangest interviews with the likes of Bob Geldof (why?) and Dave Edmunds (who?) (this special originally aired on British television so I can only assume that those two guests were word-famous in London at this time). But then, M-M-Max “interviews” (not sure that is the right word) Robin Williams (well into his cocaine habit and c-c-cutting loose with some horrifically un-PC schtick) and Tina Turner (well into her c-c-c-cocaine habit as she cannot stop laughing – seemingly with no reason– throughout her appearance). B-b-b-best of all, we get to experience UK-based telly commercials as they aired back then! So sit back with g-g-g-good cheer AND LOVE in your heart and enjoy this b-b-bag of coal. Merry Christmas, Santa Claus, you are one love-love-lovely guy.
