This is a vintage 1988 clip from the Minneapolis–Saint Paul talk show Good Company, where hosts Steve and Sharon Edelman (who reminds me of Shelley Long) discuss the opening of an exciting new Italian restaurant in the area: Olive Garden. They run through the location and menu, before delving into
Take a trip in my time machine to 1992, when Hasbro Flirt Squirts commercials aired on television, trying to convince girls to secretly spray their friends with water guns disguised as a calculator, candy, nail polish, lipstick, portable cassette player, and sunglasses.

This a vintage news report from the vaults of ABC7 in New York highlighting the crazy demand for Cabbage Patch Dolls leading up to Christmas in 1983. Man, those parents are NUTS. Me? If my kids want something and it’s out of stock or hard to get that’s just too
Traveling even further back in time than that 2001 BBC news report about cameraphones comes this January 31, 1978 Talking Heads performance of ‘Psycho Killer’ on a British music television program called ‘Old Grey Whistle Test.’ Catchy name.
