I CAN'T BELEIVE NO ONE MENTIONED THE PETS.COM COMMERCIALS!
I absolutely adored the dog sock puppet! I have 3 of them, one that talks, one that doesn't, and one with suction cups to stick in your car :) Actually I even have s sweatshirt with him on it, LOL. Anything with him in it had me craking up. "What goes up must come down..."

Bridget, I did sorta mention it, I just had the wrong company name!

Petopia's sock puppy trying to get into the kitty's apartment, bribing the doorman - "I'll give you thr - four dollars!"
I have not seen this commercial, but my husband LOVED it!! It was aired during a show called "Dahmer" (sp?) that has since been cancelled.
A boy is stuck beneath a fallen tree (or some similiar plight) and orders his orange tabby "Cat Lassie, Cat Lassie, quick go get help!" so Cat Lassie trots off . . . nightfall comes and the boy is still not rescued, but Cat Lassie is curled up fast asleep at home!! :D :D :D Has anyone seen it?? If so, what channel, what time and during what show? I would love to see this! I didn't even think to ask my husband what the product was . . . (who cares)
It wasn't a commercial, it was part of the show "The Downer Channel". You can view a clip here: http://www.hollywood.com/multimedia/detail/media/471974
I haven't seen that one either but I'd love to! I sure can't see either of mine rescuing anything! :D :D
Oh, I forgot to add, it's cute! :D
That was cute!!! And Leah, I think we should name you Pet Talk's official investigative reporter. You seem to come to our aid in finding things often!
Gee, props to me. :o
Actually, anyone with a good search engine can look smart. ;)
Oh Bridget, that was my thought exactly! I was a Sock Puppet fan from the start, and have 2 puppets myself, as well as a lot of his paraphenallia! Oh, how I miss him! Every new commercail was better than the last. Remember the watch on the arm of the Sock as he knocked on the door! :D And I agree... I'd buy ANYTHING promoted by Cinder and the Smokster! Star and Cody too! Star thinks Smokey's a hubba-hubba hunk! She's alwasy making me paste their wallpaper on the screen!
Thanks SO much, Leah! :D Now I just have to download one of the players so I can view it. I think I will try to view it on my work computer tomorrow, so I don't have to get all nervous downloading (and screwing something up) on my home PC. Thank you again; truly brightened my day! :)
Avajoy, you probably already have at least one of them. I've had three (no Quicktime since I don't have a Mac) and none of them have ever given me problems. WMP was already on, and I've downloaded the others. I finally took Shockwave off because I was running out of disc space and it seemed to be the one I used the least. But Real and Shockwave were simple to download and install. It's a little hard to find Real's FREE player on their website, but it's there amongst all the pay services. Anyway, I hope you can view the clip, I was more than happy to find it.
Leah ~ I was able to watch it on my Windows 95 computer at work after I downloaded WMP by finally choosing (56) as a shot in the dark, since I had no idea what the numbers represented. I guess I was clicking on the wrong ones which is why I couldn't download previously. My home computer is Windows 98 but I guess it does not have Media Player. ANYway, the clip was sooo delightful and I thank you again for sharing! :) :) :)
We jest watched the "Kat Lassie" video ~ That Kat could have been our Boots, the Kat...
All snuggled up warm as toast in bed, while Dad's waitin for him to show up wiff help :D!
