    I wonder if the blue background was because those characters on the Shelf usually had a blue curtain in their frames. And with this being the first store to open with a Balcony stage, I wonder if they transferred that over based on that or to save costs or whatever reason. And felt that the stage looked too empty and then installed the set pieces....

      That’s definitely possible. The props shown in the manual could have been created after this show was installed.

    To me, that "napkin dispenser" appears to be a box for tokens, and it can also be seen to the left of the Beagles and to the right of Dolli. I wonder if they experimented with running the animatronics off tokens?

    • @showbizpizzacom
      @showbizpizzacom  Před 10 měsíci +5

      You’re probably right about the token dispenser. If it didn’t run the main show it’s possible it activated the effects inside the madhouse.

    These are amazing! I actually like how the Balcony Stage looks in these photos. I also didn’t know that the entrance to Mr. Munch’s Magic Madhouse was a door. (I thought you had to crawl through the Cheese Wall to get to it.)
    Also, I hope we find photos of the Brandon, Florida location’s grand opening. I’m not sure how accurate this is, but apparently it opened sometime in 1980, and I’ve seen a picture from Facebook (it might be available on Google or whatever) that was of Foxy Colleen’s "Now Appearing" poster that was apparently from the Brandon Florida Pizza Time Theatre. (It was apparently taken in 1980 or very-early 1981) More photos of Foxy Colleen would be nice.

    This was my childhood! CEC was SOOO much better back then!! I remember almost all of this. I had forgotten about the ball pit (ball crawl) until this video, but seeing it unlocked a core memory, lol! I had also forgotten about those horrifying disembodied flag wavers. Even as a kid, and even though I absolutely LOVED CEC, I found animatronics to be creepy. CEC and his buddies were okay. Still a little creepy, but still fun too. But I HATED the flag wavers. Oh, and that AWFUL animal feet clapperboard thing. Anyone remember that?

  • @daniexists6

    My only guess on the mystery shelf in the store is a few shelf of plush toys. My only guess is due to one of the bizarre blue in there matching Jasper's overalls at the time.

    • @MozillaFireFox1967
      @MozillaFireFox1967 Před 10 měsíci +4

      Arlington is a big deal for it being basically one of the best Cyber stores in TX (up until last year) and the history surrounding it. Oh and these pics haven’t been posted until now. It’s a much bigger deal than the other Arlington store, Justiss, which we have documentation of, although that one was a Showbiz.

  • @knottheory79220

    Since this was Arlington, I'm guessing the flags were meant to be the six flags over Texas (Spain, France, Mexico, Republic, USA and CSA)?

    Great video! One question though: If Arlington opened in October of 1980, how come the "Around the World with Madame Oink" showtape labels the release date as "November 7th"? Assuming the store opened with that showtape.

    • @showbizpizzacom
      @showbizpizzacom  Před 10 měsíci +6

      We’re not sure. This reel could have been from a different batch. If my memory serves me correctly, many of these PTT reels (the same show) had different dates in them depending on when they were dubbed and sent out.
      Also curious that the pennants are dated 1981, but are present in these photos. 🤔

    15:55 Id assume that its not an Italian flag, but the Mexican flag with the eagle being obstructed. Probably just a showcase of the "six flags over Texas". France, Spain, Mexico, Republic of Texas, The Confederate States, and the United States. (six flags is also headquartered in Arlington but I digress)

    Correct me if im wrong but I dont think thats the Italian flag, rather I think thats the Mexican flag which would make more sence since Texas used to belong to Mexico rather than Italy.
