A video rip of the fifth issue of Family Magazine's video companion series, which ran for a couple of years during the peak Bubble Economy days.

Recorded from a JVC Super VHS video deck and upscaled to 720p via Retrotink 5X. Note that this upload includes a couple of brief skips/gaps due to the age and condition of the video tape, which lost sync in two spots—nothing essential, though.
