Subject: What a trip

Love this item thoroughly. I live in Canada and didn't get the US networks until 2 years later than this when we first got cable. You have to remember that this was 'it' - No video store/VCR yet (not in mainstream anyway) and TV limited to the big networks - what they were promising for the upcoming year was a big deal. If there was going to be a big movie on TV it was real must-see TV then.

I remember lots of those schlocky programs featuring TV & sports celebrities competing (early 'reality' TV sort of).

A true time capsule. Always interesting to see how this stuff was marketed - I love this kind of stuff when it's included in DVD sets etc.. because it provides context. e.g. seeing the original commercials in programs to recreate the original experience.

Where do you get this stuff!?
