1:05 - That's my favorite childhood intro program, since I'd truly was little. At my formely hometown *#JamaicaNYC**.😀*
*_Manhattan_* instrumental song is also my favorite kind of music, *TheaterPup.☺️*
I wish to go back in thr past and save WNEW-TV Channel 5, owned by Metromedia on most of independent stations to prevent from future nonsense by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation from Australia.
This is from 1985
Sometimes I have trouble with that. Why do you say '85? Just checking.
@@TheaterPup
Both Missing in Action 2 & Ghoulies came out in 1985
See that's confusing, IMDB says Ghoulies was '84.@@A1collect
