Ep. 91: The Prisoner


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 91st episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "The Prisoner," I feature AMC's 2009 remake of that odd late-'60s production starring James Caviezel and Ian McKellan.

In my Classic Collection, cataloging discs 1526 through 1550, I found episodes of "The Closer," "Medium," "Missing," and from Comedy Central, "Drawn Together," "South Park," "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," stand up specials with Patton Oswalt and the year-end wrap-up "Last Laugh 2004" featuring Norm McDonald and Greg Giraldo.

In my Current Collection I talk about the "Doctor Who" 60-year anniversary specials, Kenneth Branagh's "A Haunting in Venice," the fifth season of "Fargo," and "A Murder At the End of the World."

In Video Outreach I found a couple dozen tapes when we were clearing out my folks home and took a moment to enjoy what remained of their media collection. Highlights included a couple of VHS tapes released by regional musician Gordie "Crazy Fingers" Lindquist [Channel: www.youtube.com/@gordonlindquist2958]. Also Branson, Mo., favorites Yakov Smirnoff and Roy Clark, a few movies, Christmas music and other more faith-centered entries.

Ep. 90: Death Rattle DAZZLE!


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 90th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Death Rattle DAZZLE," I talk about the third season of hulu's "Only Murders in the Building" with friend and fellow fan of the show Brad Johnson of Pittsburgh.

In Cross Connections I explore principal cast members Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, and trace connections from "24," "Monk," "Alias" and "Accidentally on Purpose." In Fond Reflections I mark the passing of Matthew Perry.

In my Classic Collection cataloging discs 1501 through 1525, I found episodes of "Prison Break," "Kitchen Confidential," "Arrested Development," "Revelations: Omnium Finis Imminet," "The Prisoner," a bunch of commercials for citi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PrM2ZxL-tQ), Eclipse gum (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuOJy3wmngA), Smirnoff Ice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv9V0Nb1lfY) and UNO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSaCb2i2ZGo). Also, highlights on my methodology for cataloging detailed through "FlashForward" and "LOST."

In my Current Collection I talk about my viewing of the "Mission: Impossible" trilogy, the live action series "One Piece," "The Umbrella Academy," "Don't Look Up," the fifth season of "Arrested Development," "The Pentaverate," "Vivarium," "Lucky Hank" and "Found." I also touch on the memorial service we held for my dad, that service archived here: https://bit.ly/3s4Qmn3

In What I've Been Watching I talk about movies I saw flying to and from a recent vacation including "No Hard Feelings," "The Prestige" and "Spoiler Alert," closing with a By the Numbers stats update on my cataloging efforts.

Ep. 89: Forever Freestyle


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this totally '80s installment marks my 89th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. This installment, titled "Forever Freestyle," celebrates probably the broadest timeline covered by my classic and current collections, featuring material from every decade between 1930 and 2020.

My Fuzzy Feature highlights the 1980s miniseries, network series and the 2009 reboot of "V," including a contemporary clip from my "TV is the New Reading" podcast. I track some Cross Connections through the casts of the original and the reboot such as Jossverse connections to Morena Baccarin, Alan Tudyk and Gina Torres and original series connections through Michael Mantell and Richard T. Jones. A flashback episode of "My Name is Earl" featured an appearance by long-acknowledged Golden Thread Beau Bridges as Carl Hickey. And several arterial connections showed up in "Mercy" including Michelle Trachtenberg, Jane Mulgrew and Elisabeth Moss; "Boston Legal" including Jane Lynch, Megan Mullally and Prime Connector Stephen Tobolowsky with William Shatner, Rene Auberjonois and Armin Shimerman.

In my Classic Collection, cataloging discs 1476 through 1500, I encountered an ad for a two-disc set packed with '80s dance hits called "Forever Freestyle." You can see the ad here: https://youtu.be/ZDNlUl706Ls Based on finding it in my collection I added the songs in that compilation to my music collection.

Also, I found one of two German-language episodes of "Monty Python's Fliegende Zirkus," the Bravo rebroadcast of "Six Feet Under" episode "Eat a Peach," and a Lexus ad featuring some brilliant stage-management tagged "The safest accident is the one that never happens." You can see that one here: https://youtu.be/Xw3-hOE3l8M

Plus comments on "Hamlet 2," "The Prisoner," "The Ninth Gate," "CATS," "The Riches," "Fringe," Ellen hosting the Oscars, a documentary on the 2008 presidential election called "By the People: The Election of Barack Obama" and the 1952 movie "Desk Set."

In my Current Collection I talk about the "BoJack Horseman" finale and connections between that and the final season of "Six Feet Under." Also, comments on "Quantumania," "Soup to Nuts," "Michael Shayne, Private Eye" and the third season premiere of "Only Murders in the Building."

In What I've Been Watching, comments on "Elemental," "Barbie" and "Grace & Frankie," as well as "Project Runway" and "Crime Scene Kitchen."

And in my streaming selections, I took in the series premiere of Nathan Pyle's "Strange Planet" on Apple TV. Fun show!

Ep. 88: Psyched Out


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 88th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. This installment, titled "Psyched Out," fulfills a promise I made years ago, Oct. 2019, in "Ep. 56: Embrace the Deception." This promise was renewed a couple episodes back when a long-awaited first-season episode of "Psych" turned up in my cataloging.

That is, the first half of it appeared. My cataloging for this set turned up the second half of that episode, to wit, "Cloudy With a Chance of Murder." I'd already long since added the eighth-season do-over, titled "Remake: AKA Cloudy With a Chance of Improvement" to my current collection. So when the second half of the original turned up, I was able to pull them both up for a long ago promised compare and contrast.

And since this installment also marks six years of VideoFuzzy, I took another road trip to Minot to visit my friend Kirk Nybakken to celebrate, take in both episodes back to back and discuss them.

I track some Cross Connections through the casts of "Psych," "Six Feet Under," "Bones," "Commander in Chief" and "Killer Instinct" and trace a Golden Thread through my collection with the work of Zjelko Ivanek.

In my Classic Collection, cataloging discs 1451 through 1475, along with the remainder of that "Psych" episode I found a whole lot of series recordings with concentrations of "Battlestar Galactica," "Bones," "NUMB3RS," "Six Feet Under" and "24," as well as "The Prisoner" and "Monty Python's Flying Circus." Also, the 78th Annual Oscars celebration, hosted by Jon Stewart, and a bunch of music videos.

In my Current Collection I archived the latter seasons of "BoJack Horseman," and took in the Amazon Films production of "The Goldfinch." And under What I've Been Watching, Ralph stood me to a production of "The Machine," which was ridiculous fun.
