Howdy! Welcome to my alternate channel, where I have collections of television commercials, promos, channel bumpers, or any other stuff shown on TV many years ago. Most of the stuff here comes from our personal collection of VHS tapes, which is quite large.

Comments are welcome, but don't flood me with requests or leave inappropriate comments. Any strong vulgarity, trolling, or spam will be deleted and may result in a block.

Also, sometimes I may upload compilations that don't have an exact date when they were recorded. If anyone is able to help pinpoint a date, please do so! I will be glad to update any videos that have incorrect or ambiguous dates.

And finally, all commercials and advertisements in these compilations belong to their respective copyright owners. No copyright infringement is intended. This channel is used to preserve television gems not broadcast in years.

Thanks for watching and supporting retro television!

Hi - I am going to go on a hiatus for a couple of weeks. There's a bunch of stuff happening in real life right now that I need to tend to, both work-related and personal. Nothing bad or serious, but these are a bigger priority at the moment.

So I'll be back in a short while, happy early Memorial Day, and thanks for watching all the retro commercials!

I plan to re-upload some old Cartoon Network videos this month. When they originally went up several years ago, it was during a period when I would exclude repeated segments and/or show credits. Obviously, if the latter has a voiceover or promo during them, it makes them more unique. If repeated stuff is left in, then it makes the set more complete. And again, if some compilation dates are from a different time of year compared to the upload, don't complain about it. There are nostalgic things that you can enjoy watching all year 'round.

Take care!

There was a mistake left in today's video, so it's now been re-uploaded.

And enjoy the Super Bowl, whoever you root for.

.....and one of said MTV re-uploads got immediately blocked again today, even when all the main wraparounds were trimmed out. Lovely.

We'll try again next Monday.

This Monday and Tuesday will be re-uploads of two MTV compilations that were posted back in 2020. A few days ago, they got blocked for containing footage from Yo! MTV Raps. Them's the breaks...

Happy New Year (and New Year's Eve), everyone. I've got more stuff in store for next year, and it will kick off with a reupload of an old Cartoon Network compilation posted in 2015, and the date is from exactly 20 years ago. A couple days after that will be another reupload of a fairly recent video (1/3/2002, uploaded in 2019). I discovered some more material on another tape that hadn't been dealt with yet, so although the 2019 video will have to go, this reupload will be longer and better.

We are starting to run out of new commercials to post from our collection, however. Almost everything from the 1980s has been posted or captured, save for a few ESPN recordings and personal stuff. Most of the videos in the next couple months will be from the 1990s or 2000s, and there will be several reuploads of old videos posted years ago that didn't have all the commercials intact. Also, don't be surprised if some compilations are posted months ahead of time. I've got some reuploads of CBS ads from October 1998 planned to go up in January, so don't fret about it. Just enjoy the commercials. :-)

Happy new year, and thanks for tuning in to television treasures on the channel!

(P.S. Rest in peace, Betty White. So unfortunate to end the year with her passing, but she is a legend and we thank you for making us smile.)

Due to audio sync issues in today's video (12/23/1999 commercials), it will be immediately re-uploaded to correct the problem. Apologies.

As we close out the special weekend and move into the new month, look out for some "Nifty Nostalgia from Nothing but November!" Yep...that good old gimmick where every day is stuff from the same month all-month long will take place for the next 30 days. And also, going from the middle of November until the 25th, every other day will be commercials from various Thanksgiving parades over the years!

Since Halloween is always a fun time of the year, and you get to dress up and be spooky 'n stuff, tomorrow you will get something special: an HOUR-LONG video of Cartoon Network commercials from 2000! How's that for a Halloween treat? 🙂 👻 🦇

A video that was posted earlier this month (CBS commercials from 10/7/2008) will be re-uploaded tomorrow morning due to a few minutes' footage of The Price Is Right being left in inadvertently. Tomorrow's originally scheduled video will be up later in the day. Apologies!
