  • Ep. 93: Trudy's Gift
    May 28 2024

    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
    Mar 17 2024

    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. Kemper's podcast "All About Agatha" can be found on Apple Podcasts at https://bit.ly/43j4hnB

    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 takes the win in a totally unexpected direction.

    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!

  • PROMO: Ep. 92: Reunion
    Mar 14 2024

    Hi, I'm Terry J. Aman, host of "VideoFuzzy," my blog and affiliated podcast slowly making my way through my media collection and sharing it with all of you. Changing things up a bit for episode 92, I wanted to step back and celebrate a fellow podcaster, from "All About Agatha," host Kemper Donovan's debut murder mystery "The Busy Body." A longtime student of the form, it's easy to tell the close read he's taken with the works of queen of crime Agatha Christie, combining what inspiration he's found there with modern twists like selfies, influencers and Kickstarter campaigns for a truly uncanny adventure drawing a plucky presidential hopeful and her ghostwriter into a murder investigation. Together with episodes of "Reunion," remembering Johnny Carson and from hulu, "Death and Other Details," I talk about multiweek USA Today bestseller "The Busy Body" as well as mystery novel "The Fury" by Alex Michaelides in this, my latest entry, a mystery-themed episode of "VideoFuzzy," available wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Ep. 91: The Prisoner
    Dec 28 2023

    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.

In this installment, titled "Death Rattle DAZZLE," I talk about the third season of hulu's "Only Murders in the Building" with friend and fellow fan of the show Brad Johnson of Pittsburgh.

    In Cross Connections I explore principal cast members Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, and trace connections from "24," "Monk," "Alias" and "Accidentally on Purpose." In Fond Reflections I mark the passing of Matthew Perry.

    In my Classic Collection cataloging discs 1501 through 1525, I found episodes of "Prison Break," "Kitchen Confidential," "Arrested Development," "Revelations: Omnium Finis Imminet," "The Prisoner," a bunch of commercials for citi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PrM2ZxL-tQ), Eclipse gum (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuOJy3wmngA), Smirnoff Ice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv9V0Nb1lfY) and UNO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSaCb2i2ZGo). Also, highlights on my methodology for cataloging detailed through "FlashForward" and "LOST."

    In my Current Collection I talk about my viewing of the "Mission: Impossible" trilogy, the live action series "One Piece," "The Umbrella Academy," "Don't Look Up," the fifth season of "Arrested Development," "The Pentaverate," "Vivarium," "Lucky Hank" and "Found." I also touch on the memorial service we held for my dad, that service archived here: https://bit.ly/3s4Qmn3

    In What I've Been Watching I talk about movies I saw flying to and from a recent vacation including "No Hard Feelings," "The Prestige" and "Spoiler Alert," closing with a By the Numbers stats update on my cataloging efforts.
