Youtuber Retrofreak84, who I’m guessing was born in 1984 and is 40 years old this year (now I Just need the city he was born in and first pet’s name and I will become Retrofreak), took a gamble on an eBay listing for a vintage Sony Video Tape for a
This is the entirety of the 1988 Pee-Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special lovingly remastered in 1080p high definition. Now I’d be lying if I said I remember it, but I probably did watch it. What can I say, 1988 was a long time ago, and my memory isn’t what it used

This is a clip of the opening from a 1983 episode of Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour that was remastered from 480 to 4K resolution by Youtuber Bob The Taco using neural networks. The first portion of the video is a side-by-side comparison, followed by a full-screen of the original standard
Note: Watch at 2X speed, the video was slowed down to half speed during the upscaling process. This is the very first of Walt Disney Productions’ Silly Symphony shorts, ‘The Skeleton Dance’, originally released in 1929 that’s been upscaled to 4K resolution and 60 frames/second thanks to artificial intelligence technology
