Ok this bytch was OCD crazy. That’s amazing and should be turned into movie.

Movie would be trash, she had no life

Interesting story but she was probably mentally ill
Hope she died at peace

I'd be interested in the commercials not really the tv shows. Just to see how different ads used to be. And maybe the news.

I genuinely regret not keeping more archivable shyt man as I grow older, I love getting my hands on old media and reading old newspaper articles and the like.

For as obsessive as she was. Media from the 80s and 90s is still pretty fukking valuable. Its virtually history. It needs to he preserved and digitized.

I was a lower level archivist . Didn't know that youtube would be created, which lowered the value of the rare stuff I recorded.
When I was a kid it used to be a big deal when rappers were on tv, people used to call each other up "yo RUNDMC is gonna be on channel 4" I have tons of hip hop related interviews, video music box episodes, "Like It Is" episodes, Black tv shows that didn't make it to season 2,etc.
