Ep. 12: Crowdsourcing, Apologies and 'Touching Evil'


In this installment, thank you, thank you, thank you to all my Facebook friends and friends of friends who nudged me in the right direction on my most challenging "Crowdsourcing" entry to date. A rather light project sampling brought little of significance into view this time, so I take the opportunity to make a deep dive into my classic collection. Finally, some apologies for errors I’ve discovered in the course of this podcast. Enjoy!

Ep. 11: Every Sitcom Ever Written


In this installment, I catch up with a few fall comedies, including the premiere of “9JKL” and the return of “Bob’s Burgers” and “Superstore.” I report on my efforts to create a homemade DVD set of “Legion,” and I make some decent progress on my current collection. Finally, I both in theory and in practice reject the “Wisdom of the Crowd.” Enjoy!

Ep. 10: A Deep Dive on a Minor Milestone


Welcome to this, my 10th installment of VideoFuzzy! I’ve decided that every tenth episode will include a show-so-far on my cataloging efforts, so for this one, I decided to pull in my entire pre-podcast classic collection – Discs 1 through 228 are now listed on my VideoFuzzy blog as Catalog Post #000. Also, while recent premieres took some attention away from my cataloging efforts, they fit in pretty well with my Friday Night Feature, an oddly relevant double episode of “My Name Is Earl.”
