These commercials aired on USA in late December of 1988
1. USA Cartoon Express Commercial Bumper
2. Cinnamon Toast Crunch (With Jonathan Brandis and Olivia Burnette)
3. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe 900 Number
4. Power Phone for Nintendo Players 900 Number (The footage of the kids playing NES in an authentic 80's living room is priceless)
5. USA Cartoon Express Commercial Bumpers
6. USA Network Kids Club "How Do You Celebrate the Holidays?"
7. Popeye 900 Number (I guess they really had 900 numbers for everything back then)
8. All Time Children's Songs (The creepy version of "Teddy Bear's Picnic" in this compilation can be heard here: youtube.com/watch?v=06UThzW7nF4 I believe most of the tracks here were sourced from albums originally recorded by the Richard Wolfe Children's Chorus in late 60's/early 70's)
9. USA Cartoon Express Commercial Bumpers
10. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
11. Muppet Babies Books (This is a spoof of the popular syndicated political panel show "The McLaughlin Group". Too bad they didn't have the redheaded girl hosting it say "WRONG!")
12. Promo for "Calliope" (Similar to "Pinwheel" on Nickelodeon, this was a show that aired various live action and animated short films)
13. USA Network Kids Club
14. USA Cartoon Express Commercial Bumpers
15. Quaker Instant Quaker Oatmeal
16. Sunkist Fun Fruits (Interesting that they made an animated commercial. The trees are definitely less terrifying here than in the live-action ads)
17. USA Cartoon Express Commercial Bumpers
18. USA Network Kids Club (I'm not exactly sure when this block aired...they are still airing segments about Christmas but they're also talking about it being 1989. I'm leaning towards this being the week after Christmas but just before the new year. The Master System ad from the previous volume also includes an offer that ended on 12/31/88 so I don't think these aired in January)
