Nosy Bears were popular starting in the late 80’s and into the early 90’s. They were bears that had bellies filled with air, and when you squeezed them their nose would do some kind of action depending on the theme of the bear. For example, I had the bear with the snowman in the nose, and when I squeezed his belly, little snowflakes would float around the snowman. To the best of my knowledge, the first edition release of the bears had 12 different themes, and then I know later on the company released Nosy Bunnies for easter (?). I definitely miss mine. I hope whoever has it loves it as much as I did!

From Wikipedia:

In television, interstitials refers to short programming which is often shown between movies or other events, e.g. a cast interview(s) after movies on Premium Channels.

Sometimes if a program finishes earlier than expected, a short extra program may be inserted in the schedule to fill the time until the next scheduled program is due to start. American cable channel TBS commonly aired Bloopers after shorter than average Braves games. Each interstitial program is three to five minutes in length and is produced in broadcast quality. The interstitial programming is produced in a news-oriented style that documents the issues that impact professionals and consumers alike (much like a network version of what you would find in a trade journal or magazine). Since Public Television is a non-commercial network they do not run commercials. Therefore Public TV utilizes short-form educational segments to use as interstitial programming. These short editorials covering various agricultural, business, medical, and environmental topics, air as stand alone segments in between (interstitially) these major programs.

Rygar (アルゴスの戦士 はちゃめちゃ大進撃, Arugosu no Senshi Hachamecha Daishingeki?) is a fantasy-themed action-adventure platform game developed by Tecmo for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released on April 14, 1987, in Japan for the Famicom as Argos no Senshi and later that year in the United States for the NES. A European release came in 1990. Rygar is a rough adaptation of an earlier arcade game of the same name, but the similarities are few. The main character, his weapon, and much of the enemies remain the same, but the gameplay of the NES version is quite different. While the arcade version is more of a standard side-scrolling action title, the NES Rygar is an open-ended action-adventure game like Metroid, which was also released at the time. At the beginning of the game, Rygar has access to some of the worlds, but as the game progresses, new areas open up as the result of finding items such as the grappling hook, crossbow, and wind pulley, which let him cross previously impassable obstacles.
