I was a big Trekkie and watched Star Trek 2 from an over the air VHS recording. The commercial before it started was some cop/judge show, and a series premiere of a show starring Kristie Alley as a playboy bunny. As a kid who watched too much 80s TV, I remember alot of those promos, news blips and commercials! Another movie recording (Star Wars I think) had a news promo about the death of Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent murdered by a Mexican cartel. I probably watched that promo 100 times!
Hopefully our brain capacity doesn’t fill up. I have a lot of commercials up there in long term storage!
