Well...I finished the tape last night. After a bit of "Chances Are" there was a brief commercial break before it then cut to a weak signal. So safe to say, we hit the end of the line. Was this 2002 time capsule wouth the $1? I'm gonna say yes. Its just fascinating what you can find on these things. And your thoughts on this wacky experience, dad?
If anyone isn't in the mood to dig through to find our other updates, here's a list of the content that was on this tape.
-Rocket Power Marathon (Featuring "The Race Across New Zealand"). This was a new one on me! Basically the Rug Rats as "dope" skateboarders. Total insincere pandering.
-Last 2 minutes of a "Guiding Light" episode. No context. Couple find a glove on a merry-go-round horse. Mmmmm... OK?
-Full episode of Oprah discussing Women and Heart Disease More pandering. One out of two women will experience heart disease. Said Oprah over and over and over.
-Some news reports involving shootings and robberies circa Valentine's 2002. Missed this segment.
-WBKids block featuring Pokémon "Electric Shock Showdown," and Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries. What can one say? It's Pokémon! Tweety and Sylvester Mysteries? Inessential, but better than Tiny Tunes or Animaniacs.
-A fair portion of the shitfest called "Chances Are." Dunderheaded romantic fantasy "comedy." A failed date night movie.
Hope to find more hidden gems like these at our local Goodwill (and other thrift store locations). Overall, a pretty interesting time capsule. Oh, man those computer graphic kids commercials! MY EYES!!!
Did somebody say, "Mitch Hedberg?"
