You sure about these two dates?

So's mine. But the picture in the article linked above is in full colour...

So were the 'Tinkerdee' shows made in colour, then?

Music clearances. For some reason, certain of the songs cannot be cleared for home video release in the US. The rights situation is different in the UK, hence the songs can be included.

It's the same edit as the one available on VHS, which is also the one that is aired in the US these days. It differs from the original broadcast version in that the commercial breaks have been edited out, and two very short scenes are missing (Fozzie lighting the tree, and Fozzie and Ma...

Because they'll check it.

And the saga continues... They're now claiming that Tuesday's reinstatement was issued in error, and have suspended my account again. There's gonna be trouble...

I can see things before they happen...

I have glasses which I use at work. The combination of crappy monitors and fluorescent lighting causes eyestrain :-( The glasses help a bit. I figure it has to be the lighting that's the key factor, since I used to use the same type of monitor at home and never had a problem there. Just to...

No, they killed the auctions off last Friday, and refunded the fees. I shall have to relist them :-(

I'm back! Now this is interesting... I received an email from eBay this evening thanking me for settling my invoice, and informing me that my account had been reinstated. The last invoice on which I owed them money was in June, and it was paid in July - I can see the payment on my credit...

Neither eBay nor PayPal charge interest. PayPal may charge you a fee for receiving money; it depends on the type of account you have. Anyway, I have a suspicion I can get them under the UK's Data Protection Act. By preventing me from gaining access to the personal data they hold on me, they...

Given that I live in the UK, I think even the monkeys at eBay would realise that I'm unlikely to have a US phone number...

Oh various things :-) In this case, I have a pile of laserdiscs that I'm trying to get rid of before I move house... I am appealing their frankly rather irresponsible decision. It's not just me they're inconveniencing - several of those 37 auctions had bidders who are now presumably just as...

Providing a fake phone number is also against the T&Cs, so as soon as eBay discovered that's what I'd done, I'd get suspended again. I didn't say I didn't have a phone. I just don't have a phone number that I'm prepared to publish, which is what this amounts to. eBay aren't going to be...

I did. Apparently they check. Specifically, I filled out the phone number field with zeroes, as I don't want to provide a number that might turn out to be a real one.

<rant> eBay have just suspended my account, cancelling 37 auctions I was running in the process. They have done this because I have not provided them with a contact phone number. I have been completely unable to hammer into their thick skulls that I do not *have* a bloody phone number to...

It appeared in the Cheryl Ladd episode.

Cool, thanks!
