Calendar Events / Announcements '10 I / Re: OT: VCR's??

Remember most VCR's have the RCA jack inputs you can use from your cable box or TV to be able to record without the problems of obsolescence with the digital TV switchover. I have Uverse cable tv and a non-HDTV set and had to do nothing for the switchover. Just depends on where your signal is coming from.

I would check some pawn shops or especially TV repair shops. Usually they have super cheap units they practically give away. Remember when VCR's cost 300 bucks and then you had to get them repaired and it was 150 bucks!!?? Good luck with your search!

Don't forget about the "Bring 'em Back Alive" series with Bruce Boxleitner! The CBS version of the "Raiders of The Lost Ark" network TV cash-in series.

I did prefer TOTGM though. Will be interesting to re-visit that show after all these years. Thanks for the heads up!

Current Talk '10 I / Re: Original DS on Chiller??

Maybe by some miracle SOAPnet might show it with their connection to ABC. (I'm sure some people still associate DS with ABC.)

I will say this about Worldvision. In the mid-90's I called them looking for tapes of the David Lynch TV show "On The Air" since it was not released on home video at that time, nor were there any plans to release it. I coaxed some lady into agreeing to send me some screener tapes of the show. Seems like maybe I told her I was doing a college research project on David Lynch or something.  I think for 50 bucks or so I received VHS tapes of the first 3 episodes with the words "Not for broadcast use" blazoned across the bottom of the video picture. It was pretty cool at the time, but whenever I tried to get some more tapes that lady was no longer there and whoever was in charge now wanted no part of trying to help me out.

Worldvision may think they are sitting on a potential cash cow with the new DS movie coming out and will only go to the highest bidder!! Like you said they could have been making money off syndication this whole time! Hard to understand the reasoning there.

[ghost_rolleyes]  (It was also during the period that Sci-Fi managed to show those Leviathans eps out of sequence for the third time.  [ghost_angry])

How bad was that bungled?? (How out of order were they??) I probably watched it the incorrect way my first go-round but didn't remember it. Now that I have the DVD's (presumably in the correct running order) I couldn't remember any differences to my oblivious mind...

Surely Syfy Channel (as its now called - how stupid!!!) or Chiller will step up to the plate and show the original once the new movie draws nearer... I remember for a very short time the old Sci-Fi Channel were showing the early early B&W episodes of the original series late at night, long after the runs they had of the completed original series. That would be perfect! Even last summer they showed a marathon of old Land Of The Lost show the weekend the new movie opened. We can only hope. I'm sure there'll be enough buzz created by the new DS movie to at least get a weekend of the early Barnabas coming out of the coffin episodes!! Come on!!!
