I was wondering if somebody who has the original tv version of this could list some of the commercials during the special? Also, I was browsing through some different threads and noticed that people had said Muppet Family Christmas was slowly cut through the following years it was shown. Is this correct?

Here's the commercials I can recall:

  • OshKosh B'gosh
  • M & M's
  • Filmation presents "Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night"
  • Leonard Parrt 6 (Bill Cosby movie)
  • Best Buy
  • Crispy Critters cereal ("they're indubitably delicious")
  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (with the three chefs)
  • My First Sony
  • Extra Sugar-Free gum (now w/ Nutrasweet!!)
  • Double Mint gum
  • Dayton's Santa Bear sweepstakes
  • "Milk- it does a body good" ad where the kid grows up
  • some sort of M&M candies rip-off

ABC promos for "Three Kings" (TV movie), Sledge Hammer, the Charmings, "Not Quite Human" (TV movie), "Julie Andrews' The Sound of Christmas" (special) and probably a couple of other shows.

Coming up on KSTP-5 news (Mpls/St.Paul), Gary Hart is back on the campaign trail and a Minnesota North Stars hockey player is arrested for indecent exposure.
