Trip down memory lane with these choice moments from Christmastime in the 1990s. It all seems so far away today, doesn’t it? Let's start with an hour of 1990's Christmas TV commericals...
The Price is Right with Bob Barker was always at its gaudiest when Christmas rolled around, here’s a 1990 episode from a few days before the 25th of December. “Come on down!”
Dolly Parton’s Home For Christmas special for ABC from 1990. ABC paid Parton a reported $44 million for a two-year contract to star in a weekly variety show in 1987 that lasted less than a season. Home for Christmas was the 31st solo studio album by Dolly Parton.
Who didn’t stop off at Blockbuster Video before the holiday to rent the latest blockbusters? Available on VHS that season: Pretty Woman, Ghost, Total Recall, Problem Child, Tremors, and Days of Thunder.
You couldn’t turn on a television over the holiday season and not see the Coca-Cola polar bears!
The hottest show of the 1990s was Seinfeld, the sitcom that launched a fresh new holiday tradition… Festivus! “As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way... a new holiday was born"?
The Golden Girls was one of the hottest shows of the 1980s on NBC - but do you remember the spinoff, The Golden Palace that aired on CBS from September 18, 1992, to May 14, 1993? Seems everyone in the cast wanted the show to continue after Bea Arthur left so they dropped the remaining three girls into a hotel they had to run. Felt very forced but lasted two seasons.
