# Various Television Recordings (1989)

Some off-air television recordings from the New York metropolitan area. One is an installment of WEEKEND UPDATE from a SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE edition of somewhere in March 1989, as recorded off of WNBC-TV4. This is followed by the original March 28, 1989 broadcast an installment of ROSEANNE titled "Toto, We're Not in Kansas Anymore" (season one, episode twenty) off of WABC-TV7. Then, there is a near-complete recording of a rerun of the episode "Lovers' Lane" (season one, episode six; originally aired December 6, 1988) from April 4, 1989. This is then followed by 22 minutes of a two-hour marathon of episodes of I LOVE LUCY that was run by WNYW-TV5 in New York upon the death of Lucille Ball on April 26, 1989. These minutes consist of a repeat of the episode "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" (season one, episode thirty; originally aired May 5, 1952). Scattered episodes of ROSEANNE follow, each with an unknown date attached to them, and then there is a cable recording from MTV dating from November 1989. That last recording consists of several music videos (billed as Classic MTV) shown between commercials, and, somewhat amusingly, a moment of technical difficulties: —"Down Under", composed by Colin Hay and Ron Strykert, performed by Men at Work, courtesy of Columbia Records by arrangement with Sony Music Licensing (single #38-03303, from the album BUSINESS AS USUAL, #FC\[T/K\] 37978) —"Take on Me", composed by Pål Waaktaar, Mags, and Morten Harket, performed by A-Ha, courtesy of Warner…
