I grew up right across the river in NJ and had lots of family in NYC. I remember my cousins complaining about this very thing. They were very excited to come over and watch TV.

I worked in a video store and we had people buying videotapes from us that were over $100 at the time. It's hard to go back to recreate the feeling of entertainment scarcity, even in my imagination.

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't seen it before, but found some videos on YouTube. Great time capsule. Bookmarked and will watch more.
