Hilarious! It's funny just how much advertising sensibilities have changed since the 80's and earlier. I wonder if those were actual muppet characters?
Awe... I was really hoping to see that George Hamilton commercial continue too. Oh well.
LOL! Muppets. George Hamilton. This stuff is great!
Does the Fox valley Mall still look like it did 24 years ago? Never been there but I have to go one of these days.
