Episode: Episode 516--The 1981 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Description: Happy Thanksgiving! (For those outside of the United States, happy Thursday.) For this holiday, we jump back 43 years to 1981. What was the hotness that year? A version of Strawberry Shortcake which was reminiscent to the technology used in Malcolm, for one. The video game surge started, though it wasn't represented in the parade. As you prepare to do Black Friday shopping, remember to go to the AT&T phone store and get a Garfield phone.
