Ep. 94: Into Every Generation


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 94th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings, and with this installment, titled "Into Every Generation," I celebrate seven years of doing so.

Helping to mark the occasion, in my Fuzzy Feature I chatted with longtime friend and friend of the pod Marc Bailey, also known as Grailwolf, to talk about the 1992 release of Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the FX presentation of which turned up on disc 1604 in my classic collection. We talked about the movie, the TV series it gave rise to, the spinoff of "Angel" and the comic series, as well as other Whedon projects, and farther reaching ramifications of the production.

In honor of this film turning up in my cataloging project, I have expanded the mystical center of my media collection to include Joss Whedon productions, in my newly renamed Joss Under Murph Studio Challenge, linking shows in my collection through "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," "Six Feet Under," Ryan Murphy productions and/or Joss Whedon productions. A few connections become quite a bit clearer and just make more sense with the acknowledgement of this expansion, which suggests it was a de facto center all along.

In Cross Connections I explore some of the impacts of this expansion, certainly through my Fond Reflection farewell to the movie Buffy's Watcher character Merrick, played by Donald Sutherland. I trace other connections through "Criminal Minds," "The Closer," "NUMB3RS" and a two-part "Alice in Wonderland"-themed Syfy miniseries starring Caterina Scorsone titled "Alice."

In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, for this set covering discs 1601 through 1625, I talked about a significant second-season episode of "Rescue Me," a documentary recounting 40 years of the Broadway production of "Hair," the pilot epiosde of "Criminal Minds," Syfy's miniseries "Alice," and a bunch of episodes from "Arrested Devleopment," "South Park," "The Simpsons" and "24," alongside a bunch of music videos as well as the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, hosted by ... oh. Sean "Puffy" Combs.

In my Current direct-to-digital recordings, I talk about Pat Sajak stepping down form hosting duties on "Wheel of Fortune," podcaster Terry Geo's 2023 stage production of "Blink: A One-Man Gay Rom-Com," that link available here: https://bit.ly/45DbBeV and a spoiler-y look back at the first season finale of "Doctor Who," which I include at the very end of the show in case you're still avoiding spoilers.

TOP TWELVE: Here's a "Top Twelve" episode guide for people looking for a quick read-in on this blog and podcast effort: https://videofuzzy.libsyn.com/about. Enjoy!

Ep. 93: Trudy's Gift


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 93rd episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings.

In my Fuzzy Feature, I talk about the two-part series finale of "Monk," which turned up in my cataloging efforts this time. In Cross Connections I traced ties through "Monk," "Fringe" and "Moonlighting," and highlighted Golden Thread connections with Larry Clarke and Sharon Lawrence.

In my Classic Collection (VHS-to-DVD), cataloging discs 1576 to 1600, I found where I'd appeared on local noon shows promoting community theater, clip posted to VideoFuzzy's Instagram. Also, "Fringe" – both here and in my Current Collection – "Medium" "Monk," "Criminal Minds" "Prison Break" and "NUMB3RS" and animated shows like "American Dad," "Venture Brothers," "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" and "Tom Goes to the Mayor." I found some racy commercials and talk about the marketing concept of "floym." Plus, music videos (check out Jack Johnson's 2005 "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" here: https://bit.ly/3WFdK7q) and episodes of "The Twilight Zone."

In my Current Collection, I added a BUNCH of material this time including I already mentioned "Fringe" up there, I added seasons 4 and 5 to my collection, plus the entire series of "Moonlighting" and a couple different ties to "Medium" and "Fringe." Plus comments on "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," "Spider-Man: No Way Home," "The Batman," Alanis Morrisette's recent turn on "Austin City Limits," and more from the new season of "Doctor Who."

I close out with a couple unique productions. I explore the Indigo Girls' 1995 VHS release "Watershed: 10 Years of Underground Video" callback to sister podcast "VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack" Ep. 10: Caramia, some of the cool things I found there. Then my hubby, Ralph, and I recently took in the "Wheel of Fortune LIVE" production at Prairie Knights Casino and Lodge with cohosts Bob Goen and Daisy Wang and announcer Cody Dove, who was really leaning into that "Better Call Saul" credit. It was a great time and they put on a fun show.

Ep. 92: Reunion


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman marking my 92nd episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. My Fuzzy Feature for this installment, titled "Reunion," I talk about the first four entries I found in that 2005 FOX series.

I also share Book Reports on new releases "The Fury" by Alex Michaelides and "The Busy Body," the long-anticipated debut murder mystery by "All About Agatha" podcast host Kemper Donovan. Both are fun reads in very different ways and both come highly recommended.

With my Classic Collection, cataloging discs 1551 through 1575, I officially have fewer than 1,000 discs to catalog in my classic collection. In this set I found the first episode of "The Tonight Show" aired following the news of Johnny Carson's death in 2005. Also, several music videos and late night show clips, Tim Daly's private eye drama "Eyes," and episodes of "Desperate Housewives," "Grey's Anatomy," "Alias," "LOST" and "Fringe," and an "Ugly Betty" where Justin's class elects him homecoming queen as a joke but he turns around and shines the spotlight on his mother.

In my Current Collection I dig into the "Doctor Who" 60-year anniversary specials — and oh yes, there will be spoilers. Also, "Death and Other Details," "Fargo," "Surrealestate," "Feud: Truman Capote and the Swans," "Moonlighting," "Obituary" and "The Floor." In What I've Been Watching, I've taken in the Capitol Shakespeare production of "The Importance of Being Earnest" as well as a couple of movies: "Argylle" and "Wonka." Fun!

TOP TWELVE: Here's a "Top Twelve" episode guide for people looking for a quick read-in on this blog and podcast effort: https://videofuzzy.libsyn.com/about. Enjoy!

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.

TOP ELEVEN: Here's a "Top Eleven" episode guide for people looking for a quick read-in on this blog and podcast effort: https://videofuzzy.libsyn.com/about. Enjoy!
