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- [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 [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 [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 [https://youtu.be/xh00VNHNB7o?si=aFQKgbAUA52iGJj3] The debut of the Undertaker: https://youtu.be/xp6ruCqGYKM?si=DGgh_Oz5v7pCcP3m [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.

12. Garfield's Halloween Adventure

You know him, you love him, and chances are, you've chuckled at his hilarious disdain for Mondays and his insatiable lasagna cravings. Yup, I'm talking about everyone's favorite fat cat, Garfield! From comic strips to TV screens, this sassy, sarcastic feline has been a staple of pop culture since the late '70s, with his unmistakable orange fur and perpetually unimpressed expressions.
