Preserving a Generation of Broadcast Media from the basement of my home in Nova Scotia, Canada.
It is my belief that taped media from the 80's and 90's is a cultural mural representing the final generations of the 20th century. Media consumption, consumerism, lifestyle, and the role of the technology boom that saw home computing and the internet enter daily life. This incredible and unique time period is unlike anything we'll ever see again. It is no less important to preserve this era in media than it is to save the hieroglyphs on the walls of Giza's tombs...
All material seen here has been gently and carefully recorded from old physical media by myself.
Reach out to me if you have tapes, records, or other forms of media to donate to this project.
I also have a running GoFundMe linked here where people can donate financially to help with costs associated. Every cent donated goes back into this project for equipment, travel, etc.

I never got the point of even eating the red Smarties last in my whole lifetime; this was in spite of the fact I knew this jingle existed, and the last time I had this GOATed chocolate candy was like 2022 hahahaha (Happy Canada Day weekend BK)
If ya ever make a Facebook or Twitter for ya vids of one late 70s - mid 90s family friendly commercial through the day every day please let me know I'd like to follow a Facebook or Twitter like that I don't look at YT all of the time and I don't subscribe to YT channels who post lots of vids the same day or more than 3 at the same time because I don't get notified for all of them.
I don't see many nwer posted vids of late 70s - mid 90s Nestle Quik commercials and I still like them and I still drink Nestle Quik 'it won't ever be Nesquik to me' so thanks for the video.

thanks to this commercial I was always drinking chocolate milk at school
I used to love Smarties! I remember we could only get them in Canada because here in the U.S. there's a candy called Smarties that are basically flavored sugar wafers. Our local Tops actually has Aero bars (another personal favorite) in their international section - I wish they would get Canadian Smarties, too! I haven't had them in about 10 years or so.
We have them, my friend. Whenever you want them hehe
Finally, the source of another earworm from my childhood!
That Jungle Book credits sequence is so reminiscent of the animation done by TMS. Beautiful animation.
I remember this ident airing right after ASN reminding everyone to set their clocks one hour ahead.
We Belong Together on Channel 6 WPVI-TV PHILADELPHIA.
Man I miss teletoon
To this day, when my wife leaves garbage in the car, I always tell her, “Bring your trash ashore.” It is due to this ad.
LOL!
One of the most iconic Transformers scenes
I was 4 when this video was aired and I am happy to see so much progress in the city. For decades, Halifax stood still as other cities grew up. Now we are seeing the boom for better or worse, this city is leaving behind the stigma of a dead city. Sure, many people don't like the change or the locations picked for the new towers being built, but in another 50 years, those people will be dead and a new city will be in its place. Why complain about progress?

He's wrong about one thing the Halifax Harbour is not guarded by mcnabb's island or Georges Island at the opening of the Harbor there is Devil's Island and I don't know why people don't put that on the map it is a haunted island and very few investigated but the ones that I find that say they investigated Devil's Island they were not on the actual Island they were on mcnabs Island and they described the island with mcnabb's Island history and Georges Island history all-in-one which has no history at all with Devil's Island so anybody investigating Devil's Island do your research first before coming to Halifax
And here I thought my hometown of Saint John New Brunswick what's the founding city of Canada where it all started... oh wait yes it is... I do live in Halifax but my hometown is great and has a lot of history but people tend to ignore it because it's not big like Toronto the thing is we don't tear down trees we don't tear down historic properties we don't tear down anything to put new things there of course we tore down the old hospital because that was decaying over the years and a lot has been built up but nothing is taken away the history is still there when you look at Halifax today compared to the video shown here it's making it look like the history of Halifax is hidden with glorified touch ups it's all right for today but if you wanted to see the history of the city you have to go a couple streets away from the Waterfront and the boardwalk and find the historic properties you can't even see Citadel Hill from the water anymore that's how pathetic things have gotten for Halifax where you can't see one of the landmarks in my hometown you see pretty much every landmark and of course just like Halifax in the Halifax back in the day with the Halifax Explosion my hometown went to the same thing with the great Saint John fire in the downtown area a lot was gone but well restored but of course the Waterfront now is being decorated with today's what they say is needed outdoor atmosphere and what they should have kept was the volleyball court and the Coast Guard base because now they have nothing to direct the traffic coming in and out of the harbor on ship but I think the ships know how to say all these days with today's technology but the history is still there and again I'm not saying how fast is a bad place just hides a lot of the history with new construction and demolition of a lot of old property
0:24 boom!

Likely. It's pretty generic
Taken from Mad scientist Cartoon (1988).

My daughter started using at 16 years old. I did everything i could do to stop her..I showed tuff love, I had her committed 7 differnt rehabs I even tried loving her through it by showing compassion. Nothing worked. My daughter was 28 years old. She had been on a high for about a week. She was walking down a major highway and stepped out in front of a car. It doesnt matter how bad parents want their kids to stop. Unless they want it bad enough they want quit.
Very sorry for your loss. I admire and commend you for your efforts to help her.
Mac Tonight was done so dirty by the internet. A cool character axed by McDonalds because of some memes
I loved these Marble Mountain ads! If you have any more, do post them!!
The commercial brings me back middle school days and I was 13 at the time.
24 Years (1997-2021)
our poor cites looked like they had so much to them i know there were still homeless and such but look at the cites now we have barbarians running around!
Approximate date of April 8, 1984
Best use of the MGM logo ever!
The way the retro computer market is going... they probably cost about as much today
Really? I have a few of this era.
I missed out
I just bought one of these for $425 in 2024 😊
Air Bud vhs Canadian version
I remember Betty Rubin calling my parents and I heard that voice on the phone and was like is this "Betty Rubin" and she was like "yes it is dear" lol
Lol. This commercial's so cute. I loved it in 1991. I'll always love it.
My father worked there around this time, and some of the stories behind the scenes were hilarious. No staff member ever washed the dishes that the Pu Pu Platter was served on. Interesting times...
That's awesome haha. Feel free to drop all the stories you want. Everybody who comes here will love it
My dad flew that 747 back in the 80’s my dad switched planes tho and he is sadly retiring when he is 55 or 60
I’m sure shaggy Rogers would gobble up all the food right now
