Tape has notable jitter and degredation probably due to the nuclear armageddon of 2001. I'll do my best and then pass it to forensic experts.

A good time to mention this tape was given away for free and so it is reproduced on the absolute flimsiest of VHS tapes, so it's a miracle it's functional at all after 20 years.

1992: I have graduated from college! The world of potential is infinite!

2021: I just figured out there were only 16 episodes of Hong Kong Phooey
Whoops, this is taking off.

Hong Kong Phooey also appeared in the Laff-A-Lympics series, and probably got shoved in sideways through a bunch of Hanna-Barbera licensing and appearances. Here he is as late is 2017, in a Boomerang series, voiced by Phil LaMarr:
Laff-A-Lympics is 24 episodes, so since Hong Kong Phooey is all up in that (voiced by the same actor, Scatman Crothers), it's possible many tiny child brains combined it all into one big blob and so there's a lot of HK in memories.

Archive Team, would you kindly completely archive scripting.com, leaving some air holes on the top

And it's always there, in your essay, because you know how this will be written: "Unlike as mentioned in OTHER essays, in fact that didn't happen" (meanwhile, pictures and writing everywhere that it happened). "The OTHER essay's mistake about this date is this" (gives wrong date)
