I have a VHS cassette with a movie recorded from the USA Network, I believe sometime during 1986. After the movie, the tape caught the open to the children's show "Calliope" and its first segment. This video is made up of the content from the end of the movie until the tape ran out. It includes:
--the last two seconds of "The Tuttles of Tahiti," then the USA Movie outro;
--a "Radio 1990 Videogram" (a musical scene from the 1985 film "Sweet Dreams" which I edited out);
--"Night Flight" promo (which includes a second of the classic "Jac Mac and Rad Boy Go!");
--"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" promo;
--USA Network ID;
--"Calliope" show open, with Gene and his moviehound sheepdog Liza. He tells us there will be a lot of "fiddling around" on this episode (including a feature about young violinist Anne Akiko Meyers);
--Sonny goes cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs in space (with Frederick Koehler from "Kate & Allie" introducing chocolate Bonkers);
--"Three's a Crowd" promo;
--"Oh Madeline" promo;
--"All-American Wrestling" promo with Mean Gene Okerlund, touting a match between Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart and "Leaping Lanny" Poffo;
--"Calliope" returns with a 1980 episode of "Cockleshell Bay" (minus the open and closing credits), titled "The Grand Old Duke of York," almost ten minutes long;
--Gene takes a look at a photo album of his devoted viewers;
--finally, a partial commercial for the Roller Racer riding toy.
And NO, other YouTubers, you may NOT hijack this video for your own channels--I'd prefer the views stay right here, thanks!
