1970's Public Access TV.....wow....how far we've come! (A fun little clip)

[Chip TRG]

Thought you TV folk might get a few laughs out of this clip. Ahhhh, the things you can find on eBay.

I don't really have any info about the interviewd guy, but man oh man is that "reporter" funny, throw in the vintage microphone, the cruddy 1/2" video tape look, the seemingly numerous technical gaffs, and the hilarious "freeze frames" at the end (complete with a shoulder cam and shadows of people moving), you have a classic slice of vintage public access TV. Make's "Wayne's World" seem Emmy-worthy.

Great clip, but from the interview, this was from 1982, before Christmas.

How many times did the "reporter" poke her cheek with her tongue, anyway? :laugh: She looked like she couldn't wait to get out of there!

loved it...thanks. i'd rather watch something like this than more slicker productions any day.

i'm sick of slick.

Sorry, I could only watch about 1 minute of it.

It wasn't too much of a train wreck to keep my attention.

It was all I could do to wait until the guy got several seconds through his explanation...then I bailed. :help:
