Title: TurboExpress on TV (video included)
Post by: Pcenginefx on July 30, 2006, 08:14:37 PM

Hi all,

It came to my attention that the TurboExpress had a cameo on the TV series Doogie Howser, M.D back in '91.  I have finally found the episode and encoded a 640x480 video for all to have look see.

I want names, Aaron :)  Who here is watching that junk!? :)

Nevertheless, great video (as they oh-so usually are)

Holy moly! Aaron, I can't wait to see this :)

DOOGIE HAUSER!

I always liked the way the show began, myself (typing in a journal on a computer).

EDIT: Doogie Howser!

Very interesting.  I wonder if NEC paid the studio to include that because they did not cover the Turbo Express label.  I liked the show and I like what system he is playing.  :)

I've been watching it from the start again after I heard that the TE was in one of the episodes.  I've really enjoyed watching the series, and quite frankly am surprised as how graphic they get when talking about sex.

Yes it sure did.  I can't remember if the NEC logo is covered or not - I don't think it is.

I actually just watched Enemy of the State last night. Its a TurboExpress, except with the label on the back changed. Also there is the white symbol on the front.

And yes, i found it nessecary to freeze frame the movie, just becuase :D
