VHS Archaeology: EP13 - KCPM 24 Chico, CA - Thanksgiving 1988 NBC Commercials Breaks

This episode features almost 30 minutes of commercial breaks from NBC on Thanksgiving Day of 1988. I had recorded the NFL game, and forgot to turn off the VCR. The tape had plenty of room so an episode of Family Feud, and A Current Affair were recorded.
