Oh, I didn't realize you were born in the 90's, lol. Then how did you get old TV shows from the 80's? Did your dad tape them when he was a teen or young adult in the 80's?

@rwk2050 When my parents were engaged in 1991, some friends recorded a video of their engagement party and they taped over this tape. Then they gave it to my parents. So after the engagement video, there was like 5 hours of Live Aid from 1985.

Wasn't Back to the Future in theaters at that time? It was released early July, 1985. Also, Phil Collins Don't Lose My Number was released July, 1985. The 80's were a great time. The We Are the World song, with Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and many other mid-80's artists, was that released in Jan or Feb 1985? I remember seeing it on TV then.

@rwk2050 I know Back to the Future came out shortly before this. But I wouldn't know the answers to your other questions because I wasn't born in 1985.

I live in PA, but I've never been to Dutch Wonderland. When they said "... adventure it's true," and then showed the donkeys, I was sure they were going to use "petting zoo" as the rhyme.

Omg, that two person cartwheel @ 0:46 was epic (and I don't use that word often, seeing as it's overused these days).

@rwk2050 I'm pretty sure WTAF became FOX in 1987...No more independent stations after that :(

[rwk2050]

I live in Allentown, PA and we have Service Electric cable so we might have had this station. So, it was WTAF in 1985, but in the 90's it became FOX, is that right?
