About the curation
1989 is a strict shelf. Every clip on it is something that originally aired, released, or went out as a live broadcast in 1989 — one scene, one segment, one performance, one commercial at a time. Retrospectives do not qualify. 1980s countdowns do not qualify. Reactions do not qualify. To add or remove anything, write hello@timesurf.tv. The full curation policy is on the About page.
