Ep. 65: Burying Bones


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 65th episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging nearly 2,900 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Burying Bones," I open with my thoughts on protests, division and privilege in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. I add a correction from my comments on "Superstore" last time.

I then feature the fourth season installment of "Bones," titled "The Skull in the Sculpture" featuring Vicki Lewis of "NewsRadio" as a gallery owner. In Cross Connections, I track Caroline Julian, Whoopi Goldberg, Rich Sommer, Jewel Staite, David Boreanaz and Golden Thread Alan Tudyk.

In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, I talk about "The West Wing," "Mad Men" and a "The Daily Show" list from 2008, "John Kerry Ruins Your Favorite Jokes."

In VideoFuzzy at the Movies, I watch "The Disaster Artist," "Joker," "Knives Out" and the FX documentary presentation "A.K.A. Jane Roe."

In my Direct-to-DVD Collection, I chat "Motherland: Fort Salem," "Council of Dads" and "Harley Quinn," closing with "Dispatches from Elsewhere."

Ep. 64: Unfluential


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 64th episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 2,800 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Unfluential," I allow as how my recent birthday nudged me out of the prized 18-49 marketing demographic. I congratulate "Project Runway" season 18 winner Geoffrey Mac.

In my Friday Night Feature, I feature the series finale of "The Shield." I explore the storytelling throughout that series and the media environment of the late Naughties.

In Cross Connections, I retrace some connections for "The Shield," as well as connections through "Will & Grace" and "Motherland: Fort Salem." Also, my discussion of "6 Souls" highlights it as an especially intersectional inclusion in my collection.

In my VideoFuzzy at the Movies collection, I comment on cable presentations of "Black Panther," "Thor: Ragnarok," Kenneth Branagh's "Murder on the Orient Express," "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," "6 Souls," "mother!" and, from my own collection, "The Room." Yup, at about the 30:00 mark, this episode features the VideoFuzzy review of "The Room." You are welcome.

In my VHS-to-DVD "Classic Collection," I contrast "The Shield" with an especially disappointing second season episode of "Life." Also, comments on "Chuck," "Boston Legal," "Ugly Betty" and actor Michael Urie, "South Park," "The Simpsons," and "Criminal Minds."

In my direct-to-DVD "Current Collection," I discuss the series finale of "The Magicians," along with comments on "Briarpatch," "Vagrant Queen," "Will & Grace" and their "I Love Lucy" episode, "Superstore" and CheyFest 2020 -- get destroyed! -- "Dispatches From Elsewhere," "Brockmire," "Cake," Syfy's "TZGZ," selected IFC rebroadcasts of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," and comments on "Better Call Saul," highlighting standout performances by Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler. Also, congratulations to Christine Morse on her and her lovely family's appearance in a regional commercial -- well done!

Finally, under Old Business, I talk about DVR issues I had while recording the series finale of "The Magicians," and I reorganize my approach to this production. Starting next episode, new episodes will drop as I catalog 25 discs. Enjoy!

Ep. 63: Unconventional Means


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 63rd episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,800 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Unconventional Means," I discuss the 12th season finale of "Doctor Who" and its expansion of the Doctor's story as well as current and past adventures.

Oh, and Jodie Whittaker turned up in character on BBC's Doctor Who Official Twitter @bbcdoctorwho recently with a message for children and fans to help them through the global pandemic, which I thought was super classy, retweeted @tjVideoFuzzy.

My Cross Connections explores an FX documentary, "The Most Dangerous Animal of All," on an author whose research into his birth father convinced him he was the son of the Zodiac Killer.

In my VHS-to-DVD "Classic Collection," I talked about Lincoln Meyer abducting Shirley Schmidt in a third season episode of "Boston Legal." Also, decent candidate for a feature, Walter Matthau and Inger Stevens in the kinda gross "A Guide for the Married Man" from 1967, with comments on episodes of "The Simpsons" and "Fringe."

In my direct-to-DVD "Current Collection," I had to stream a couple of episodes of "The Magicians" ahead of the series finale this past week -- the basis for the title this time; I had to pull up ancient digital recordings I had of "Doctor Who," and stream episodes of "The Magicians," otherwise less-traveled media sources for this collection.

Also, lightning round discussion on "Brockmire," "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," "The Sinner," "Briarpatch," "Dispatches From Elsewhere," "Better Call Saul," and "Motherland: Fort Salem."

Ep. 62: Everybody's Talking About How Bad This Is


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 62nd episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,800 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Everybody's Talking About How Bad This Is," I highlight "Masks in the Moonlight," a benefit I attended for the Bismarck Cancer Center, and recommend the cause to anyone able to help.

I also discuss musical clips I've put together for past episodes, referencing television theme songs and so forth. With the potential for copyright infringement (none is or has ever been intended in this production), I'll be stepping away from including them in the future.

My "Friday Night Feature" highlights a pivotal episode of "Mad Men." In the run-up to the second season finale, Don deals with separation from his family as the ad firm undergoes major developments in his absence.

In "What I've Been Watching," Ralph and I attend a community theater production of "Greater Tuna," and the title reference, from the NBC series premiere of the Fran Drescher project "Indebted," that is, "Everybody's Talking About the Pilot." This was not a good show, but via "Golden Thread" extension from my "Cross Connections" discussion, I attempt to reconcile Steven Weber's role in that project and elsewhere in my collection, up to and including his significant role in Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," which I've identified as one of the mystical centers of my media collection.

In my VHS-to-DVD "Classic Collection," I celebrate the debut of Kristin Chenoweth as Annabeth Schott in the sixth season of Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing," the fourth episode, titled "Liftoff," with possible comic references to "Noises Off!"

In my direct-to-DVD "Current Collection," I discuss "Supernatural," the run-up to the 12th season finale of "Doctor Who," the third season of "Sherlock," the run-up to the 18th season finale of "Project Runway," the "Bad Tina" episode of "Bob's Burgers" and connections with "Parks and Recreation," premieres of USA shows "The Sinner" and "Briarpatch" and Aaron Paul rocked in the Netflix production "El Camino" (2019).

And in VideoFuzzy at the Movies, "Birds of Prey, and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn" was awesome!
