$275 for sport coats? I wonder how much they are today...

[disneyfan85]

I remember the music for "Mac and Mutley". I wished that I could find the whole theme for it!

[SiouxCitian]

I did find a link for that JFK special. but I can't seem to post it on here without it saying an error has occurred. anyway, type in JFK: an unsolved murder on Google, and KRON's website will be one of the first links.

Those terrible 1980s glasses need to make a comeback.

Yaz - Move out (105FM: Never realized popular that song was in San Fran.)

[rockergirl83]

@indyfan22k the song for Live 105 FM is called "Situation" by Yaz.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think I've ever seen a car overheat as fast as the one in # 10. I think you'd have to really be a numbnuts to cause that to happen...

@BabyFace316 lmao

[Ibhenriksen]

AHAHAHAHAHAH @the eyeglasses.

[danielledrules]

I find it a bit offputting that Castrol car oil is sold in a drug store. I mean, it seems a bit unhealthy.

And the 105 FM commercial...to sum it up in one word-hilarious.

[xContaminatedx]

9:08 too. flippin. funny!

Dig the old Siegfried & Roy sign at 9:13, still at the Stardust at this time? Love old Vegas shots, these views are the only ones left of the Vegas of my childhood (not recognizable today).
