I was wondering what happened with that tape listed on eBay that was sold for over $300. I’m glad you were the one that bought it. Cheers!

[@Channel37TV]

I believe that's another copy of the same tape. I paid a bit more for this one than I would normally pay for tapes, but not quite $300.

4:42 - Windex - Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara (Ben Stiller's parents, who were a comedy duo in the 1960s-70s).

The set they used was also used by stations such as WEWS in Cleveland and WTVF in Nashville. Both stations were branded as “Eyewitness News.”

[@StukInBuf]

@Derrick Anderson(open): That didn't register for a while; yes, I see they had similar studio set-ups. I just added this part a day or two after originally posting: Were WGHP and WTVF part of Scripps-Howard Broadcasting, like WEWS is?

[@Channel37TV]

@@StukInBuf WTVF is currently owned by Scripps, but only since 2012. WGHP has no connection to Scripps-Howard.

I skipped to the end area and paused at 26:19... New York Carpet World... are they a national carpet-selling store? I recall seeing their ads in the late 80s on Chicago television.

[@Channel37TV]

I believe it was a chain, but I'm not sure how far it reached out. I recall seeing their ads in a few different markets, though.

19:52 - Quick glimpse of Martin Short in "The Associates".

*CORRECTION:* Airdates are actually March 23 and 24, 1980 (based off the Nightline promo).

[@Channel37TV]

You are correct. Title and description have been updated. Thanks!

[@UNCJerry77]

Love the Family Feud slide ID. Awesome stuff.

Martin Short and Tim Thomerson in a sitcom together? That might have been a hoot. Before they both got famous. Pre-SCTV and Volunteers and Trancers and a bunch of other fun stuff for the both of them
