1990 VHS • The Byron Allen Show + Commercials 60 FPS

About

This tape is an unedited recording of The Byron Allen Show, a syndicated Hollywood talk-variety program, along with its commercial breaks, as broadcast on King 5 in Seattle, Washington. The tape is labeled 1990, with content placing it at the boundary of late 1989 and very early 1990.

The show's guest lineup provides the primary dating anchors. Connie Sellecca is introduced as a star of the series Hotel and the TV movie Turn Back the Clock. Melissa Manchester promotes a tribute album covering artists from Ella Fitzgerald to Judy Garland to Edith Piaf to Billie Holiday and Dionne Warwick — her album Tribute was released in 1989. Bronson Pinchot is identified as the star of TV's Perfect Strangers and the motion picture Second Sight, which opened in 1989. Steve Odekirk and BeBe and CeCe Winans round out the guest roster. Byron closes by announcing next week's guests: Sheena Easton, Howie Mandel, Bill Kirkenbauer, and Don Lewis. The Abyss, the James Cameron undersea thriller, is promoted as coming to videocassette — the film opened in August 1989, placing its home video release window in late 1989 or early 1990.

King 5 confirms the Seattle market throughout. An institutional spot states that King 5 has maintained a full-time commitment to the Northwest environment for more than 40 years — King 5 launched in November 1948, making this consistent with a 1989 or 1990 broadcast. The Oprah Winfrey Show is promoted for weekdays at 4 on King Five. A Seattle party line service directs callers to 1-976-3000. Clairol Nice n Easy hair color, Pledge Touchable furniture polish, Prego versus Ragu spaghetti sauce, Tum's EX antacid, BVD brand underwear, Nestlé Alpine White chocolate, and Doritos corn chips appear among national advertisers. A 1-976-GABB party line runs multiple spots.
