This is from Pioneer's first demo disc from 1980. I had to cut out about 5 minutes of this to fit the time limit, but I have the complete version on Google Video and Stage6.
Video bitrate is at 256, to get the sound in stereo I had to move that down to 64, 96 forced it to mono. I'll see if I can inch it up a little more as it sounds a bit compressed here but still better than mono!
Another exclusive TV offer for The Heart-Touching Magic Of Jim Nabors, available on record and 8-track tape from Suffolk Marketing! So you don't forget, mail your check in before midnight!
One of Burger King's less-remembered ad campaigns- "America loves burgers, and we're America's burger king!" Watch this for yet more reasons why the 70s was the greatest decade ever.
Can you believe DVD has been out for 10 years now? This is from the very first DVD that most people saw, the Panasonic Demonstration Disc from 1996. This was shown repeatedly in stores when the first DVD players came out, since actual movies weren't put out for a few weeks afterwards!
From 1979, Adam Rich from "Eight Is Enough" shows off his skateboarding prowess. Too bad it wasn't enough to keep him out of trouble later on.
The "Dear Alex & Annie" in the middle of this was cut for time, but I put that up separately.
Primitive computer-generated text display from a local channel on Cablevision in Jericho NY. Kids could mail in their favorite jokes to win money, and they would be displayed on the channel along with the kid's name and address! Don't know if any of these people are still at these addresses, but please don't harrass them! Audio is from radio station WBLI.
Another segment from the Toshiba DVD Gallery demo disc, this is a bunch of the "You've Got Senses- Use Them" promos. Don't know if all of these aired on TV as I'd already pretty much stopped watching it by then. The disc lets you keep playing these over and over if you so desire.
This was included on Polygram's first DVD releases in 1997, showing the titles they had out. They were packaged in "Laserfile" cases, which most people hated and they switched to the traditional keepcases the following year.
