Too bad, 2D; I was gonna try and holla atcha' for a possible tape trade to relive my teen years watching Video Soul/Vibrations.
Believe it or not, I cannot find ONE old school (c. 1990) BET fansite (sites on Rap City, Video Soul/Vibrations, Teen Summit, etc.) on the Internet.
I have been taping and archiving TV shows since 1988 (when my family bought our 1st VCR--actually before that I used a regular tape recorder to audio tape TV shows) because you never know when you're gonna come up with something cool to save for the younger generation.
ETA: I am really looking for folk that taped short-lived 80s shows that I really liked, such as:
Manimal (the theme song reminded me of the old R&B song "Let The Music Play")
Trauma Center (a weekly disaster-type drama series)
Lottery$ (a weekly anthology show that illustrates the age-old adage, "If I had a million dollars...")
Note that all these shows aired during the 1983-84 season
And one short-lived Saturday morning cartoon:
The Kid Superpower Hour with Shazam (1981-82)
Anyone knows if someone taped these shows, gimme a holla!
