VH1 is currently airing their third series of year-by-year shows covering pop culture events of the 1980s. This latest series goes into some obscure things that I had practically forgotten about, but still no coverage of CED.
The 1982 show does have a segment on VCRs where the hosts are hefting a 1980s top-loader commenting on how heavy and expensive the unit is, although the one shown is relatively light compared to RCA's VBT-200 from 1977.
VH1 has a web site on the series here:

I watched a few episodes when it originally aired, pretty entertaining and brought back some memories. I just wish I had some 3-D glasses to watch it with. _________________ Also a video game collector. |

Unfortunately I'm about 2hrs from the nearest Best Buy. Although it would be cool, are they specially marked for the promotion? _________________ Also a video game collector. |

American Paper Optics will mail you a free pair of 3D glasses if you call or email them:
(800) 767-8427
sales@3dglassesonline.com
The glasses for the VH1 show use clear ChromaDepth technology rather than the more familiar red/blue anaglyphic process:

The ChromaDepth process is pretty lame on television, but can be quite dramatic in print form. My university is presently promoting Brain Awareness Week, so there are posters of a 3D brain all over campus with a pair of ChromaDepth glasses attached to each poster:
