  • 87 minutes of 1987 commercials... dream or nightmare??
    Retrontario’s primary mission is the preservation, research and exhibition of rare videotape recordings (1970s to 1990s) recorded off of any and all Ontario (and surrounding area) TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. We also hope to create an ongoing oral history of this content through comments left below the videos. Please add to this evolving history, if you know more information pertaining to the clips, fondly remember them or have a modern thought all comments are welcome!

    It's hilarious. I spent my childhood waiting for these things to end - only to sit in front of my computer as an adult and wish I could watch them on my parent's old TV again. 😂 Humans are weird.

      An Apple ][ (shown here) with a modem could dial into a service that had a text based interface like Compuserve and access an online encyclopedia in 1987. Problem solved, right? Actually no, because the pr. minute phone AND service charges were very high, and on top of that you had to pay a monthly fee. This was pretty.much the standard across "online services" back then. The internet was not yet really public and for the most part the only people that had access to that were people in government and those in university or research facilities.
      So this is why physical encyclopedias were still a big thing well into the personal computer age.
