From the days when there were things on TV actually worth watching. Brilliant.

I've seen it on YT, tho it's not here now -- perhaps check back in a few months.

(I know this from 5 years and six of my own channels -- I never monetized, bc I didn't own the content -- seems sleazy to me.) I can't swear that this uploader didn't monetize his uploads, but it seems highly unlikely (his channel has that ''labor of love'' feel about it).
