The Pavilion on Post Oak (1991)

Tonight on TLC's I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant, Amy's 24-month undetected pregnancy comes to an abrupt, but unusually clean, end. 



Orrrrrr . . . Tonight on episode 1 of TLC's  1 Kid and Counting, Michelle discovers that giving birth is really easy and she's never going to wear shoes again!

Ahaha, this cracked me up. Especially since I actually did see an episode of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant where they baby landed in a shoe.

(That show scares me even though I am certain I will never be pregnant again...)

I like the top of that dress-thing though. Not so much the rest of it.

I like the top, too. I also remember those ridiculously huge pants back in the early 90s. I never had a pair like that, but I saw a lot of them.

I've seen a bit of "I Didn't Know" and I sure wish my pregnancies were that unnoticeable! If my ginormous belly didn't give me away at the end, the nonstop vomiting did at the beginning. I just thought the picture was weird and because the baby is naked and has a surprised expression; it looked like the kid just dropped out of her!

It really does look like that!

Palazzo pants is what they were called. I didn't have a pair either. I was wearing broomstick skirts instead.

Also, 1991? Those puffed sleeves scream "no later than 1988!"

Palazzo pants! I couldn't remember what they were called. The ad is from Texas Monthly, which might explain things. Takes awhile for the mule train to get down that far south. ;)

As for me, I was totally into jumpers around that time!

Ah, that's true. I grew up outside of D.C., and always felt pretty sad for my Midwestern cousin when we'd go to the mall in my mom's Indiana hometown. Everything there was approximately two years behind what I was buying at Tyson's Corner (http://www.shoptysons.com/About).

This cracked me up, too, because SNL did a "Les Jeunes de Paris" sketch this weekend and Emma Stone basically had a baby the same way...

Ha ha! Thanks for posting that. I actually went to a bed a decent hour that night and I missed it.

OMG, I love it!

[write-light.livejournal.com]

and it's blocked already :(

You can watch episodes on Hulu, but I couldn't find this particular sketch. If someone knows about what time it aired that might help.

[write-light.livejournal.com]

I dug it up; it's on Vimeo. :D

What's weird is, I went through what was supposed to be the full episode on NBC.com (http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/november-12-emma-stone/1368131/), and I cannot find that sketch! How freakishly weird. It's like they cut it out entirely. Why would they do that when it was apparently (judging by Google and YouTube) the most popular sketch of the night!?

[jocelmeow.livejournal.com]

They regularly don't include all the sketches. Sometimes it seems to be because of music rights issues, other times I can't discern why.

[talonvaki.livejournal.com]

Dammit. I HATE when that happens!

Here's another one (on a French website, very appropriate!): http://www.wat.tv/video/snl-35otb_2exyv_.html

Don't ask me why, but NBC.com doesn't have this sketch, but they do have the full episode.

A+ commentary.
