wow... thats cool. youtube ftw!

it was off an old vhs tape i had. back in the early 90s i was a nerdy young teenager in monterey, and after mptv dropped the SF stations i started installing antennas on my moms house to receive them again, so this episode was of interest to me.

i may have recorded more episodes, i used to record tons of random shows, but i dont know where those tapes are (dads house maybe?)

I'm sorry, that last name is just unfortunate

This is great retro stuff, I have some Monterey Show eps on VHS. Mike Goodenough passed away around 1995 I think.
