Ep. 86: Everything Comes Down to Scrubs

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 86th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. For this installment, titled "Everything Comes Down to Scrubs," I chat about the "My Musical" episode of "Scrubs," which turned up on Disc 1413. In Cross-Connections I talk about the Studio Murphy Under connections for "Scrubs" and for Stephanie d'Abruzzo, who played the patient at the center of that episode.

In my Classic Collection, I talk about the pilot episodes of "Dirt" and "Star Trek: Enterprise," with comments on second-season episodes of "Sons of Anarchy" and "The Prisoner" from 1967 British television.

In my Current Collection, I talk about developments in the third season of "Kung Fu" on the CW, and a whole bunch of movies I watched including "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Happy Death Day" and "Happy Death Day 2U," "A Clockwork Orange," "Team America: World Police," "The Devil and Miss Jones," "Gemini Man," "Pressure Point," "Uptown Saturday Night," "Yolanda and the Thief," "Moon," "I Origins," and "Call Me By Your Name."

And in What I've Been Watching, we took in "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," and I streamed "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" and "Bird Box." I also watched the fifth-season premiere of "Black Mirror" and the pilot episode of "Stranger Things."

Featured Categories

My affiliated "Videofuzzy" podcast features a few standard segments, which are:

Fuzzy Feature: After cataloging my Classic Collection, I've generally encountered at least one show I want to lift from the digital mass, watch all the way through and comment on in a little more detail. I feature this in a segment called "Fuzzy Feature."

Cross Connections: Some topics, items and discussions are interrelated across different segments and will be featured here. Also, I play a game called "Studio Murphy Under," where I chart actors appearing in my media collection and degrees of separation with "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," "Six Feet Under" and Ryan Murphy productions with other shows in my collection.

Classic Collection: The collection of some 2,500+ discs I transferred from a collection of hundreds of VHS tapes recorded over the course of three decades, which I'm in the process of cataloging in this blog.

Current Collection: The collection of some 500 discs featuring shows I'm recording directly from my DVR, which I am also in the process of cataloging in this blog.

Occasional Segments:

By the Numbers: Every tenth entry, I include a show-so-far on how this project is progressing.

Corrections: If I discover an error at any point along this process or if one is pointed out to me, I will make a good faith effort to correct it.

Crowdsourcing: I occasionally encounter programming in my collections that I can't track down easily, and have thrown things out to my Facebook friends and followers in an effort to get some help with it (listed below).

Nerd Shows/Samantha Bee/Adult Swim: Subcategory breakouts generally featuring science and technology programs, and lists or other features where I wish to directly cite my source materials.

Old Business: If I've got an update from past topics or episodes, I'll take it up in a segment called Old Business.

Upcoming Shows: In this segment I'll give listeners a heads-up about shows I'm aware of in the lineup to check out or avoid.

Off the Shelf/Streams: Subcategories exploring media accessed through other means, including commercial VHS or DVD release or through online streaming sources.

VideoFuzzy at the Movies: This discussion crosses categories among classic to current and what I've been watching.

Video Outreach: Occasionally this project will have a practical impact or benefit to myself or others, and I'll include these stories and conversations as video outreach segments.

Video Outtakes: With dozens of episodes, I've naturally made the occasional blooper or outtake. Some are worth sharing, so I'll include them under this heading, usually toward the end.

What I've Been Watching: This category is where I comment about shows, plays and other media I consume that don't fit into other categories.
