It’s been nearly a month since the last episode of Stranger Things aired. While the ‘Conformity Gate’ storyline turned out to be a letdown, it just reinforces how much we love the show after all these years. In fact, many fans are already rewatching it! One fan really embraced the show’s 1980s vibe and even managed to get Stranger Things playing on a 1983 television – the same year the first season takes place.
Working TV From 1983 Plays Stranger Things!
This post really took off on Instagram, and we totally get why! It’s amazing to watch a show set in the eighties on an actual eighties-era TV. The intro music and those classic red letters appearing on the screen just feel perfect – like it was always meant to happen. The person who created this setup explains the process in the comments, but it’s a little complicated, so we won’t go into detail here. If you’re technically inclined and want to know how it was done, check out the link to the original post.
The post features a video clip of the show’s opening scene, and seeing those familiar young faces immediately brings back memories. It’s especially poignant now that we know how the whole story unfolds. It’s amazing to think back to when Vecna and the Upside Down weren’t even a concern, and all we had to worry about was the Demogorgon – those were the days!
Yes, Stranger Things has finished, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop enjoying it! And what could be cooler than watching the show on a TV that actually worked back in 1983? This person clearly has good taste.
