In 1993, Mystery Science Theater 3000's annual Turkey Day Marathon bumpers were filmed at the Edina, MN home of fan Debbie Tobin, a MSTie who at that time posted regularly on the then Prodigy MST3K bulletin board, and who had done a bit of clerical work at Best Brains Inc. As the story goes, Comedy Central had caterers prepare a beautiful turkey dinner where, unfortunately, the crew spent so much time filming the spread that it spoiled under the hot lights and very little of it could be eaten by the party-goers. These spots and bumpers are culled together from my personal VHS collection of Debbie's party, and also featuring spots highlighting the "Pick The Wisecrack" winner Susan Schneider of Jackson, NJ.

Compilation of the commercial breaks that aired during the original broadcast of The Ewok Adventure in 1984, right around the holidays.

In 1985 my father recorded 6 Christmas specials that aired on CBS 2 in New York. At the time he had no idea you could press pause on a VCR during the commercial breaks so the full broadcasts were recorded. This is something I'm grateful for all these years later. Every Christmas season I watch these old recordings and it fuels my childhood nostalgia. I compiled the commercials for the pleasure of my fellow nostalgia buffs. As seen from most of the bumpers the Christmas specials aired were: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Frosty the Snowman 'Twas the Night Before Christmas A Charlie Brown Christmas How The Grinch Stole Christmas The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus
