TV memories 70's - 80's - Flint & Detroit

Remember when TV was a family event? If you have 20 minutes to spare, I can give you a ride in the time machine! You won't believe the long forgotten faces and sounds you'll see in here. Here's a few names for you... Bill Bonds, Ollie Fretter, Sir Graves Ghastly, The Friendly Giant, Amyre Makupson, and the list goes on and on. You'll find great vintage news briefs, commercials, advertisements and other clips from the 1970's and 1980's. I even threw in the static channels in between for more reality. There's also a special broadcast at the end. Enjoy the ride!!

PS- A very special thank you to www.fuzzymemories.tv
