I'm actually doing something like this, although nostalgia, not authenticity is the goal. It's a present for my sister.
Working to collect late 80s commercials right now, and the old "move of the week" bumpers, local news promos.
Anyone have ideas where the commercial breaks would be?
I'm wishy washy on what source to use. I'm thinking Harmy's DeSpecialized, then just autocropping it to TV shape.
