These time capsules reveal that the things that seemed important at that time, were mostly unimportant. Everything passes, everything changes so there is no need to worry.

I'm guessing in September on 1982 when I was born they replaced Match Game at 11 with The Joker's Wild

I use to watch ch6 weather with Jim Obrien even when I lived in NJ closer to Ny in Perth Amboy. My parents had a channel master rotor antenna and we lived on the top of a hill about 100 feet elevation I watched the weather forecasts especially before storms effected my area they usually effected the Philly area first. Poor Jim O Brien died in a tragic parachute accident. damn shame! I always will remember the music they played on this news station also the news was the best ever and the music theme as well! Great newscasters as well those were the good old days of real conservative and best news coverage ever better then the NY market!

22:00 Mention of the Giants vs. Eagles wild-card game, which wound up being the introduction of one Lawrence Taylor to national prominence.

I am very glad that Pretzels in ice cream, soup, and salads didn't catch on.
