    		 My great grandfather recorded the 1987 World Series for me about two months before I was born. I watched the tapes a lot, partially because my favorite baseball team (The Twins) was a part of it. I also noticed that he didn't cut away whenever commercials aired, so all the commercials that aired during the games are captured on the tapes. There's a lot of history there. Including some halloween themed commercials from Fleet Farm, I believe.
    All of this Political Correctness junk is going to turn me into a modern day Archie Bunker before I turn 30.

      		 Cool! And nothing is better then classic programs with the commercials still in them! I've got tons of old shows and sporting events with the commercials.....if you ever transfer it to DVD from the VHS, give me a shout, I'd love to trade for a copy of it!

        		 That is awesome! My father taped the 1986 Chicago Bears Superbowl himself, and it has some commercials in it. He also taped an episode of the Simpsons on Fox in 1991 and it has some commercials about the war in Iraq, LiveAid, Wendy's, and McDonald's. Very historical indeed.

          		 I found an old tape my dad recorded and it has the All Madden team from 1990 with some Diet Coke commercials featuring pro athletes. Part of Superbowl 24. A decade in review special on KCBS 2 hosted by Keith Olbermann when he use to do sports there.

            		 I taped the 86 All Star game and on the tape is a commercial introducing the Predacon toys into the transformers line

            The commercial had them taking on the Dinobots

            But it never really happened in season 3
