I'm not sure, I don't think he performed but he may have attended the event

It sounds like you’re referencing one of the twists in the O.J. Simpson trial saga. If the grand jury dismissed a case quickly, it suggests that the evidence or arguments might not have been solid enough to move forward. That trial had so many layers, legal strategy, media frenzy, and public opinion all tangled together. Do you have thoughts on how it was handled overall?

@@theVHSfiles it was a clear-cut framejob and the LADA simply failed to catch the real killers. Read the Sealed Envelope by Sheryll Shipley. Also, if you have any Hard Copy, Geraldo, etc. especially with the Brown family from 1994-1996, those would be absolutely killer. Pun intended.

There’s something special about watching an old TV broadcast in its entirety-static and all! 📺 The commercials, analog glitches, and even the closing credits paired with news clips really capture a slice of that moment in history. It’s like stepping into a time capsule and reliving the exact experience viewers had back then. Do you have a favorite show or broadcast that takes you back?

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!!!

Wow, that’s such a vivid memory, thank you for sharing!! It’s wild to think about how word of mouth rumors would shape the way we experienced music back then. King Diamond definitely carried an aura of mystery that fueled so many urban legends!

@@theVHSfiles Thanks! I realize that every generation says, "We were the last generation to....[whatever]" I have to say, though that I am truly grateful to have experienced both sides of the Internet era. Obviously, instant access to practically all the music is great, but there was a real joy in the anticipation of an album from a band you love coming out (on Tuesday, of course.) Depending on how close to a city you lived, new music was severely limited. There were times where a friend would get a hold of an album, and everyone would borrow it and make copies. Plus, often times, you had no clue whether or not an album was good or bad until you wasted your hard earned grass cutting money on it.Sometimes, you'd hear a song you liked on the radio, but if the DJ didn't say who it was, or if you wren't paying attention you'd have to wait hours or days to hear the song again. Even then- you still might miss the title, lol. I tell my 25 yo daughter "Back in the day" stories all the time, and usually her response is "That's crazy" or "That would be terrible" I recently told her that there were days where you'd go to a friend's house hoping to hang out, and if they weren't home, that was it. You had no idea where they were or when they'd be back, and you certainly couldn't call them. The saying "Youth is wasted on the young" is so accurate. Take care! I've been enjoying the content very much!

Haha, absolutely! That line really captures Wallace’s no nonsense style. A biography titled Now You're Being Unpleasant, Wallace! would be perfect and unapologetic, just like the man himself. I’d read that in a heartbeat!!!

@@theVHSfiles I love your exclamation point after "Wallace." Imagine the many people he interrogated (er, interviewed) over the course of his career who thought that. NOW YOU'RE BEING UNPLEASANT, WALLACE! 😠

@@theVHSfiles I'd read it too, in a heartbeat (or in the beat of a ticking stopwatch -- get the 60 MINUTES reference?) 😁

Thanks for the info! KKTV 11 has been a staple in Colorado Springs for years. Gray Television has really built up a solid portfolio of stations. Appreciate you sharing!

@@theVHSfiles my pleasure

Great fun facts! 📺 It's cool how FLIX evolved over the years, starting with its launch in 1992 and adopting The Movie Channel's rating system later on. That 2000 refresh must have been an interesting shift, too! Thanks for sharing this bit of TV history!

it’s interesting how closely they aligned with TMC back then. Thanks for the deep dive into TV history, love hearing details like these!

@@theVHSfiles Even though you say that you might not take requests, do let me know in advance about if you find on what I seek. Thanks. And also, prior to the year 2003, FLIX would also show what would be on Sundance Channel (now SundanceTV). In May 2006, when TMC underwent a refresh, perhaps that when FLIX began to "exclusively" show the Showtime variant only, both before and after the FLIX promos: Previously, the Showtime variant was "reserved" to being shown before the promos (as evidenced on a recording of a FLIX promo break from December 17th, 2003).

I think it's from USA

@@theVHSfiles what holiday special on USA?

@@jeffmarks1996 I think it was during a USA Christmas movie th-cam.com/video/p6CQcl5oI1w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NFaj3_ZnlmqAMm1u

Good eye! 😄 Maybe some intense 90s drama or just a bit of overacting?

What's that.. a phone number?

Right? It’s like we’ve been part of a secret club all these years! 😂 It’s wild how some things just slip through the cracks, but that’s what makes finding these gems so special. Glad to know we’re in good company!!! Thanks for watching!

That’s great to hear! Dave Wagner is such a talented journalist, and it’s awesome he returned to WTSP in 2022. They definitely had a solid team back then. Thanks for the update!

Haha, yeah, Luke Perry definitely had a unique style with that hat! 😄 But he always managed to pull it off in his own way. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

Thanks for pointing that out! Late June 1998 was a great time for some classic commercials. Glad you’re enjoying the trip down memory lane! 📺😊

@@theVHSfiles I am!
