The envelope please???
Sorry about the delay. Blame those pesky archive problems.
Anyway, as I said, both you and ProfStokes got really close. I was sure someone was going to come up with the right answers - especially after the really big clues I dropped. But then the forum got shut down by our host, and that was the end of that.
But, before I explain the answers, let's recap. The original post included:
Quote
Almost three weeks ago, I deliberately did something to three consecutive montages that I've never done before or since. The first "cousin" who can post ... what it was that I did, what episodes were depicted in the three montages, and how what I did to the first of those three montages relates to today's 1000th montage ... Good luck!! (But if you know you're DS episodes, you won't need luck because you already know the answers, and you were probably just too polite to say anything at the time (which worked right into my plans) - but now is certainly your time to speak up! )
Then I added hints:

Unfortunately, no one has even come close to what I'm looking for, so I'm going to emphasize two hints that I gave:
- "what I did to the first of those three montages relates to today's 1000th montage" ...
- "you were probably just too polite to say anything at the time"
And I'm going to give you a new one:
- montages include more than just screen captures.
If I say any more than that, I'm going to give the whole thing completely away!
The hints definitely got both Ringo and ProfStokes on the right track:
Ringo asked if I'd used "scenes from just what would have been shown during Aug 1968" and labeled "the montage from Aug AND Sept?" And while that wasn't quite what I did, it's OH SO CLOSE!
ProfStokes picked up that the date on the 1000th montage said "August-September 1968". But she also thought something similar had been done for the July 3rd montage when Sci-Fi had shown episodes which originally aired on ABC on July 31st and August 1st 1968.
That comment prompted me to drop the biggest hint of all when I asked:

Did I?
So, is anyone seeing where this is all heading? If so, I've decided to give everyone a second chance. You all have until 12am ET/9pm PT Tuesday night/Wednesday morning to come up with the missing pieces and answer all three original questions:
- 1) what did i do to the three montages?
- 2) what episodes were depicted in them?
- 3) how did what I did to the first of those three montages relate to the 1000th montage, which was made up from episodes originally aired in August and September of 1968?
