I LOVE the onld 80's programming. There used to be a commercial for BEST resntals, I think it was. A Cheshire Cat on a branch... I think he says Best Sentals rents the best, or something close to that. !!!

I think I was running a studio camera on this newscast. My first job out of college.  Maggie, Chuck and Andre all nice people. Pretty cool set, huh?

They used to play the crap out of the Best Rentals commercial! I don't know when it was finally retired it but the last few times I saw it air it looked old even then and the audio had deteriorated noticeably. Funny, I've tried to find that commercial since but haven't had any luck.

Did they just give a Farmville shout out?
