Yet another incredible PPG spot from 1999. Just making interesting stuff to get people’s attention- and it did. That was the same approach to the programs - do things that bring people in. We couldn’t follow, we had to lead. No one was doing this stuff. No one else...

I vividly remember this spot, and recalling how much more I believed in the girls after that. It always felt like the network was confirming to us that the characters were as real as we imagined them to be. It was stirring. Thanks for your work on these.

The ad department was really cooking with this era. I recall similar spots with the Eds and I believe Courage.

The magic here is cartoon characters interacting with two adults. For kids, this in some way makes you feel like an affirmation that cartoons are right and cool, and so believable in your hearts. It's how movies with larger than life concepts work. This was that in a commercial

And They were excellent, I would watch CN over Nick anyday. I feel horrible for what became of it now.

I read somewhere that those two dudes/this specific commercial had to do with CN's involvement with some sort of basketball website? have any info on that?
