      @@ChrisHonowayOFFICIAL When people talk about the 50s, what they really mean is the 1954-1964. When people talk about the 60s---what they really mean is 1965-1975---when people talk about the 70s---what they really mean is 1975-1983. Having said all that---more cultural changes happened in just the 30 year period from 1950 to 1980, than in the last 30 years from 1990-2020. Truth be told---we've been at a cultural standstill since the turn of this century. I mean, if you watch a movie from 2000, except for things like "payphones", life doesn't look a whole lot different then than it does now

      @impalaman9707 Last week I watched the replacements a movie from 2000 and I never once was like "this movie is so old" But if i saw a movie from the late 70s in 2000 I wouldn't get over how old it looked.
      It seems like the quality in cameras hasn't improved that much since 2000. Cars don't look that much different.
      The only stuff I notice that is a bit old looking is the computers, cell phones and the inside of cars

      @@ChrisHonowayOFFICIAL MY POINT EXACTLY! I remember back in 1980 watching "Psycho" from 1960, and thinking, "This movie js ANCIENT!" But now, I'll watch "Shallow Hal" and think that movie could have been made yesterday! I'm telling you---pop culture is at a standstill!

    I think all or most of the news broadcasts back then were called "eyewitness." Very nostalgic and comforting to watch these. I was 17 then and it was a great year.

      The “Eyewitness News” brand would have been on KGO-TV 7, as it was on all other ABC-owned stations. But KPIX held the rights to the brand in the Bay Area, so Channel 7 adopted the “News Scene” brand instead. All three big network stations boasted high-quality newscasts in the 70s and 80s, though I liked Channel 7 just a shade ahead of KPIX.

    47:58 1981 was the first year I started following sports in the Bay Area. For me, it was a glorious beginning as an 11-year old sports fan, as right away I got to witness an American League West title by the Oakland A’s, and then later on a stirring 13-3 season from the San Francisco 49ers that culminated in a victory in Super Bowl XVI for their first-ever NFL Championship.

      In January (81) when the hostages were released from Iran, they started talking about Vietnam veterans were getting upset at all the cheers for their return when they got pummeled at their own return just years before. People started saying to pass forward their cheer for the release of our people that were held in Iran towards former Vietnam vets also. (I was 19 at the time, and it struck me as touching)

The Oscars were moved also, weren't they? (To the following night)

    • @RetroLandfill
      @RetroLandfill  2 года назад +3

      Hi, I can't really take requests, as I am limited to whatever is on the tapes that I have (unless you have tapes you want to donate for capturing). I still have about 40 or so Betamax tapes to look through. These remaining tapes may or may not have commercials on them... but most likely they do. After that, I have a stack of VHS tapes I plan to go though. The frequency of the uploads depends mainly on my spare time and motivation to do it. It takes quite a while to go through a tape, capture the commercials, figure out the date it was aired, edit the commercials together, upload and then write out all the time stamps of each commercial. I am glad that people seem to be enjoying these commercials, it definitely keeps me motivated to finish the project. Feels like preserving a piece of history!
