Man, TCM really presents the Looney Tunes cartoons like the historical pieces of animation that they are. After every short they have someone talk briefly about what you just watched. Haven't seen something like that since the early days of Cartoon Network.

High-res scan of Bedrock Blizzard Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles ad (1998).
Crazy to think Post gave kids a sugar packet to pour on their already sugary cereal. Eh, that’s the 90’s for you.

Looks like Hershey got the Peanuts license again for Valentine’s Day.
They first got the license back in 2024, but unlike previous years, Snoopy and Woodstock seem to be the only characters used this time.

They opened a Central Perk coffee shop in Times Square (from Friends). It’s not really my thing, but I was curious.
Looks nothing like it does in the show. Mostly there to push merch and $6.00 coffees. If I was a fan and traveled from outside NY to see this, I’d be pretty upset.

This pizzeria is playing Alf. And yes, it’s that same spot that plays Mario 3 on top of their fridge.

Back in 1991, NBC teamed up with Toys R Us to release a comic book promoting their new Saturday morning lineup.

The Disney Store is re-releasing those old Mego Marvel dolls. This looks so weird to me cause I associate them with the comics in Wizard and Toy Fair magazines.

Have you ever wondered what the last things to air in the '90s were? No? Well, here they are anyway - TV Guide scans from the last day of 1999 (and some of the first things to air in the new millennium).

Here’s a high-res scan of Happy New Year, Charlie Brown VHS box.
I know it’s not as popular as the other holiday specials. But this one is a childhood favorite of mine. So relatable, having homework over a break and not being able to fully enjoy yourself until it’s done.

Here's a high-res scan of Jetsons artwork created for the Cartoon Network Millenium Celebration.
Just came across this in one of my old TV guides, and with New Years coming up, I figured I'd scan it.

I was staring at the meat and cheese gift boxes in Target, as one does, and noticed this one came with those granny strawberry candies. 🤔

Here's a high-res scan of the VHS "Happy Holidays with Darkwing Duck and Goofy!". The cover kinda makes it seem like this might be some amazing cross over Christmas special. But it's just two Christmas episodes from their shows (which still isn't too bad).
