Delayed Accomplishment (finally spent a round tuit)
Delayed Accomplishment (finally spent a round tuit).
Finally got done something I put to the side a while ago. Okay, 13 years ago. Now, since Star Trek: The Next Generation began, I taped the shows onto VHS. In the final seasons using standard speed (SP) to record two to a tape, cross-taping from one machine to another to take out the spots. All expect the final episode. I think I was so disappointed with it that I put the task off to the side to do some other time. That was May 25, 1994 (Wednesday) and May 29, 1994 (Sunday), recording both the first broadcast and the Sunday reshowing on Channel 50, Detroit, just in case one was ruined (like with weather alerts). Well, I finally found the tapes the other day, and this time used the VHS/HDD/DVD recorder machine to record the tape to the hard drive, edit the spots outs and record back to a VHS tape. I also made a DVD out of it for myself, since it was there anyway. Even found a tape to become #71 in the series that mostly matched the ones I was using at the time.
For it being yet another time plot episode with three separate time-lines that end up never existing, it was interesting to be watching it through a time-warp of my own making. So lets time-warp and try to remember some of the spots that got removed: Beverly Hill Cop III movie, Chevy Geo, AT&T (their 'this will happen in the future' ad that kinda got the future wrong), other movies--The Shadow and the Flintstones live action movie, along with previews for ST: Deep Space Nine. TV shows listed on the TV Guide pages I pulled out at the time include Montel Williams, Oprah Winfrey, Barney & Friends, Sesame Street, The New Dance Show on channel 62 and Animaniacs on Wednesday. Sunday included: The 78th running of the Indianapolis 500, A National Memorial Day Concert (with tribute to nurses who served in Vietnam) on PBS, Twins playing the Tigers on ESPN, The Conspiracy Tapes (with a segment on a theory on the death of Clinton advisor Vince Foster), and the last of Arsenio Hall's shows showing early Monday morning.
Now, can I procrastinate or what?
Actually the past half year of so has been used to get old VHS tapes to DVDs for myself. Other DVDs I made include a 2003 History channel showing of Gene Kranz's Failure Is Not An Option (a history of the space race as seen by this Mission Control leader), Apollo 13: To The Edge and Back (from 1996), Michael Nesmith in TeleVision Parts (five episodes from the summer of 1985), The World of Jim Henson (from 1994), and "Weird Al" Yankovic - Behind The Music from 1999.
Have you made any interesting DVDs for yourself lately?
