Oddly enough, it was on the Biography channel here in Canada on Thursday, and I happened to record it. It is excellent!!! eric

I'm sorry to say, but I believe I read that Sam and Friends is an unfortunate victim of the early Quadraplex video age...which is to say, that when TV stations bought video recorders in the fifties and early sixties, their intent was to keep using the tapes over and over again, to save money and...

Adorable!!! Congratulations! eric

That reminds me a lot of a guy I used to hang out with years ago. He found a Spice Girls shirt, probably the biggest one they made and bought it for himself! (Luckily, he's kind of a small guy) Once he wore it to a concert or club or something, and everyone loved it, as they thought that he...

(for the other Canadians on the forum:) TIMMY'S!!!!!! Large double double, man!!! I even buy Timmy's to brew at home. There's nothing like it. eric

I actually still have the 45 for "Leader", but I've always loved the song "It's Hard To Say". That was on the radio a lot when I was a kid. He's so soothing. My thoughts are with him. eric

This sounds like it falls well within "fair use" doesn't it? My "Hard Day's Night" DVD disc 2 cracked at the centre just taking it out of the case. Now what? If I copy it from my friend am I not well within my rights? I don't want to start this discussion up again but you see my point...

I've been reviewing the tapes since you last contacted me Warrick and I think they're nice enough to put on DVD at standard quality. No one should complain about the quality of these, as most ones I've seen were taped in the 80's and 90's and don't look so fresh anymore! eric

All of the Muppets Tonight that I got, I imported STRAIGHT into iMovie and rendered DVD's directly. The quality is super! The Jim Henson Show episodes have been going onto tape first, although I'm so pleased with how my VCR is recording them! I have a really decent unit that tapes well, so...

I got it too, and plan to get them all as they show them onto DVD's. So what happened to Muppets Tonight? I hope they show them again as I missed the first few. Anyone know how many there are total? Anyway, it was a real treat to see (and hear) Jim and I believe Richard in this series...

Wow, scary! Just goes to show, huh? She had a voice that always gave me shivers (i.e. the sexy and creepy "Self Control" and the soaring "Gloria", mentioned above). Don't brush stuff off, I guess, eh? Could be very serious. eric

Now we're talkin'! At one time I had pretty much all of their albums (including "Passionworks"! Very hard to find (1983)) and I have always been a big fan of Ann Wilson's super soaring vocals. eric

I was 8 years old when the "Lost In Love" LP came out, and I heard it again just recently. Still very pleasant! I think that was the point anyway, not to rock out on us, just nice toonz. At least I'm not afraid of playing it in front of my kid! eric

Whoops! That $30 to $50 is Canadian prices, so that might be slightly different elsewhere in the world! later eric

The adapter is definitely cheaper than a new TV but you end up getting DVD's that only look as good as tapes. It's a good idea to get a new TV to take full advantage of the quality of DVD's but the RF Modulator (that's what you tell the salesperson you want!) is usually only $30-50. Not bad...

You have to hook the DVD player up directly to the TV, not through a VCR first. The crap (i.e. codes/macrovision/etc.) that they put on the disc makes the VCR think you want to tape it, and since that's a bad thing, (?!?) it changes the sync info, making your VCR change colour and brightness...

Yes, if that plan actually works, we've all been going about it the wrong way, wishing and hoping...we should be pooling some money and making our own!!!

i grabbed the Pierce Brosnan episode tonight. I imported it directly from my satellite receiver into iMovie, this way, I'm only going to get 5 episodes (commercials cut out) per DVD but they're going to look amazing! Once they're all done, of course, they're available for trades! How many are...

It was our anniversary (Friday) and we had a great day. Went for a walk downtown, picked up a few groceries, some bargain VHS tapes from a video store that was clearing them out (some Carlin, Gallagher, Cosby) and came home and cooked a turkey dinner (we love doing that in the summer...nobody...

IT'S ON! IT'S ON RIGHT NOW! It's the Jason Alexander one! Channel 538 on Bell ExpressVu. Why didn't anyone mention it??? Anyone know how many times they're going to play them? How many have I missed? *gasp* Somebody have details?? Help!!!! eric
