Samsung Shows Why Its TVs Are “Best in the House” at 2024 Unbox & Discover

Actors Molly Shannon and Tim Meadows debut 90s-inspired spoof marketing campaign to show how Samsung TVs can upscale your favorite old shows and movies in amazing quality

3/22/2024

Samsung Electronics America celebrated the launch of its 2024 TV and audio lineup during its annual Unbox & Discover event at the Samsung 837 retail experience store in New York City. The products are now available for pre-order, with some never-before offers – including getting a 65”-class Crystal UHD TV on us1 when you pre-order a qualifying new 2024 Samsung TV.

Joined by actor Molly Shannon and actor, writer and comedian Tim Meadows, Samsung debuted a nostalgia-inspired, spoof marketing video, “Best in the House.” It brings together the best of the era’s sitcom nostalgia, with the best in today’s TV technology to showcase the cutting-edge picture quality of Samsung TVs.

“It was so much fun creating this 90s-inspired campaign with Molly and Tim,” said Sarah Larsen, Head of Marketing, Home Entertainment at Samsung Electronics America. “We brought back so many of the things we all know and love from that era – from Molly’s butterfly clips and Tim’s pukka shell necklace, to the ‘uncle’ who never shows his face, and of course, retro TVs and dial-up Internet. Across every touchpoint, this campaign pays tribute to nostalgia and shows how today’s Samsung innovations can make our favorites even better. It’s just another example of how Samsung can upscale every moment!”

Getting into the nostalgia, Molly and Tim participated in a throwback Q+A session alongside Sarah Larsen – where they shared some of their favorite 90s memories and songs, what it was like working in television then, and now – and what content they’re looking forward to re-watching to see it transformed with Samsung upscaling.

The Samsung Music Frame: Play Your Favorite Music While Displaying Your Photos

It wasn’t just TVs in the spotlight at the annual Samsung home entertainment event. Tim also had fun personalizing the all-new Music Frame – a customizable speaker that plays your favorite music, while framing all your favorite photos. Jokingly interrupting Samsung Senior Vice President, James Fishler, during his remarks, Tim joined on stage to showcase an image of himself and Molly from “Best in the House.” James later hopped on stage with a Music Frame, as well – complete with his own 90’s throwback photo.
