Return to Wet N Wild 1988 Las Vegas GrowinupinSincity81 2017-07-04 | Revisiting this Classic footage from the Original "Wet N' Wild" in Las Vegas, with the Original Audio. Forgive the torrent of Water works and obnoxious kiddos (I'm singling myself out on that comment), and enjoy what it was like to take in all of the rides and amusements on the North Strip. Recorded in the Summer of 1988, the park would expand to include more rides and Picnic areas throughout the next decade. The sheer Terror of Der Stuka simply dwarfs any such experiences at the new park in the SW Valley. Enjoy the visuals, and, again, a big "Thank you" to the Ptak family, who star in this feature, and whose patriarch went through all the trouble of schlepping a gigantic Panasonic Camcorder around the Waterpark. Happy 4th of July, Vega-rinos!

Bloomberg News Network September 28th 1995 Report USA Network GrowinupinSincity81 2023-08-04 | Another Partial Bloomberg News Network Report, as it aired on the USA Network. Recorded on Thursday September 28th, 1995. All the Nation's News, Finances, Sports scores, and even horoscopes. No Surprise to hear about the winding down of "The trial of the Century" as the OJ Simpson verdict was just around the corner in Early October (October 3rd, 1995). Sorry that it is only a partial broadcast. The Tape was used to record "FOL" re-runs on the USA Network.
Bloomberg News Network September 27th 1995 Report USA Network GrowinupinSincity81 2023-08-04 | Brief Bloomberg News Network Report, that aired in the early morning of September 27th, 1995. After a 5:00 AM Airing of the "Facts of Life," USA (as carried on Prime Cable [now known as COX cable]) would air a 30 minute installment of Bloomberg news that provided financial news, sports scores, world and US politics, as well as Horoscopes. Sorry for the Brevity. The tape was meant only for the "Facts of Life" re-runs. Neat time capsules, though, however short.
Las Vegas Thunder Ken Quinney September 1995 Promo GrowinupinSincity81 2023-08-04 | Back when only Minor League Hockey graced the LV Sports Landscape. Since then, Vegas has had their own NHL Franchise, who just happened to have won the Stanley Cup, in just their Sixth Full Season. Here, former Nordiques Player Ken Quinney is front and center for this September 1995 Cable Promo for the Las Vegas Thunder. They Played at the Thomas & Mack, and Practiced at the former Ice Rink at the Santa Fe Hotel and Casino. It seems Ken's son, played for the VGK recently, which, if true, is crazy coincidence, and awesome.
Shaquille ONeal Vs Hakeem Olajuwon One on One PPV September 30th 1995 GrowinupinSincity81 2023-08-04 | A Promo for the Short-lived and apparently much hyped showdown between Shaquille O'Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon. According to this Bleacher Report Article:basketballnetwork.net/old-school/shaquille-oneal-vs-hakeem-olajuwon-in-a-pay-per-view-event-that-almost-happened-in-1995"The War On the Floor" was supposed to take place on Saturday, September 30th, 1995. Mere months after "The Dream" (frankly) Embarrassed Shaq during the Houston Rockets Sweep in the NBA Finals. I was a huge Shaq and "Penny" fan, so this was rather devastating. Nevertheless, here is a Pay-Per-View Promo, that aired on Prime Cable During an early morning Broadcast of "Facts of Life." The date of this airing is either the 27th (Wednesday) or the 28th (Thursday) of September. So, it seems this even (to be held a the the Trump Taj Mahal, of all places) was still "a go" just a couple days out from tip-off. Would have been fun to see. Shaq would eventually get this Rings and a NBA MVP crown in 1999-2000. There is not much online media about this, so hope it draws out some interest and information from any Basketball Fans out there.
Jenny Jones Show Day Time Talk September 9th 1994 Partial Episode GrowinupinSincity81 2023-08-02 | Partial airing of the Day Time Syndicated talk show, "The Jenny Jones Show." Aired on KVVU FOX 5 in Henderson and Las Vegas, on Friday September 9th, 1994.Sort of Coincidental (and Poignant), that this episode revolves around secret Crushes. Not 6 months later did a Secret Crush "Reveal" lead to a very real Murder and subsequent lawsuit brought against the show and its' producers. Just thought I would share as much of the show I had managed to tape from back in September of 1994. The Commercials from this recording are on a separate Video.For Copyright issues, refer to Copyright Act of 1978, Section C: Article 107: the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified in that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research is not an Infringement of copyright.

KVVU FOX 5 Las Vegas September 9th 1994 Commercial Block GrowinupinSincity81 2023-08-02 | Sorry for the rough tracking issues. This Commercial Block of Local and National Spots, was buried at the end of tape containing an airing of the "Jenny Jones" talk show program. Dated to Friday, September 9th, 1994. Note the debut of the Suzanne Somers Talk show coming that next Monday (EveryBody had their own Talk Show in the Mid-90s). Also, the Second weekend of NFL Action on FOX (their Inaugural Season of Coverage), with a much anticipated showdown between KC (Joe Montana's New Team) Vs San Francisco (His Former Squad for whom he won 4 SBs). Local Flavor in the form of Courtesy Oldsmobile, Walker Furniture, the Southern Nevada Cosmetology University, Palace Station (Guadalajara Bar & Grille), ["The Guad"}, a PSA with Jan Paul Koch, for the Assistance League (narrated by Ralph Menard). This Econo Lube N' Tune Commercial seems to strike a Nostalgic note for many locals. As for the Phillips Junior College on East Flamingo. Looks like it is long gone, with a vacant ACE Hardware on the site. Coincidentally this Shopping center, one of 3 Renaissance Centers in the LV Valley, was once the Home of Video Park II (an amazing Double Story Video Rental Store), and The Ritz Banquet Hall and Club. The Ritz was where the Class of 1999 Had their Senior Prom (for Cimarron Memorial HS). How is that for Local Vegas History? Recorded off KVVU FOX 5 in Henderson and Las Vegas, September 9th, 1994.
Discovery Zone Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie Summer 1995 Commercial GrowinupinSincity81 2023-06-16 | For the Early Summer of 1995, the Discovery Zone, or "DZ" had an exclusive tie-in promotion with "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers- The Movie." A Summer Pass grants you a Wrist Activator with 33! Mighty Morphin' Messages. Exclusive Cards that Kids could collect to build up their own MMPR- The Movie Display. I may have been too old for "DZ" by this Summer, and My MMPR Toy Run ended in 1994, but this is a fun time capsule of what captured the imagination, back in 1995. My favorite bit is the disclaimer that NO Power Rangers Will Appear at Participating Discovery Zones. How Disappointing. You Just know they were trying to avoid a law suit here, LOL.
The Furniture Store Las Vegas May 1995 Commercial GrowinupinSincity81 2023-06-16 | Another Classic "Furniture Store" spot with our man James. Features the classic delivery of his signature line "You Paid Too Much!" I prefer this original reading of the tag line, as opposed to the later, more pitiful (as in "Sorry for you") reading. This one really calls out the Suckers who overspent at Walker or Levitz's.

FOX 5 KVVU Dec 1990 Commercials GrowinupinSincity81 2023-06-11 | Commercials from around the Holiday Season, from what I assume is December of 1990. Based on the Star Search Promo, and the Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous Promo. The Lou Rawls United Negro College Fund Marathon ran from the 1980 thru 1993, so that doesn't really narrow it down. As you can tell, KVVU TV5 was also going by FOX 5 during this time. Pretty hilarious Columbo imitation here, and what I assume to be Wolfman Jack (an impression of) on the VO work. These local commercials sure are cheesy, and wonderful.

Dumbos Circus Episode 68 Friend Times Three Near Complete May 1992 Disney Channel Airing GrowinupinSincity81 2023-05-22 | Nearly complete Disney Channel Airing of "Dumbo's Circus," from Late May of 1992. Credit to the Wonderful "Defunctland" YouTube Channel, and Kevin Perjurer's work documenting the History of Children's Television in the 20th Century. The Defunctland TV series pays extra attention to classic Nickelodeon, PBS, and Disney Channel Programs. Upon re-watching his excellent video on "Dumbo's Circus," I was sad to hear that many of the episodes are considered Lost Media, and save for some incredible folks out there who have uploaded their home VHS recording to YT or the Internet Archive, there is no Physical Media Release to save these episodes for posterity. I believe this is the nearly complete 68th Episode, of the Series. Titled "Friend Times Three," the Circus comes across a set of Triplets, named "Margaret-Ann," "Sally-Ann," & "Sue-Ann," who make the acquaintance of Lilli, Q.T. Barnaby, Sebastian, Dumbo, and Fair Dinkum. Many Musical Numbers here, with most focusing on everyone's new found friendship (Times 3!) and the trio's participation in the day's Act. This was recorded in late May of 1992, on the Disney Channel, during a Free Preview Weekend. Subsequent promos following this episode include a Preview of "Still Not Quite Human" (1992), set to premiere on Sunday May 31st, 1992.For Copyright issues, refer to Copyright Act of 1978, Section C: Article 107: the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified in that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research is not an Infringement of copyright.

May 1993 KVBC Las Vegas Mike Bradley PSA GrowinupinSincity81 2023-05-01 | What's to say. On the Surface, a harmless local PSA about News 3's devotion to helping viewers be Water (and Plant) Smart, as they tend to their Gardening Needs. But, those from here, and who watched or read the papers in the '90s, might recall one Weatherman named Mike Bradley. Sadly, Mike found himself in some legal trouble in 1994, for, well, some unsavory practices. Will just leave it at that. (Google it, or don't...sorry). "Mike Bradley....Gets Down & Dirty!" 'Nuff Said.
