| 4681 | Article | pannoni1 | Hello there, and if you don't recognize me, I run the pannoni series of YouTube channels, doing exactly as what you describe! It all started shortly after I got a VHS to DVD recorder for Christmas 2013, where I simply started with my family VHS recordings, of what I've transferred to DVD (though I need to do it again to the cloud drive, since DVDs are also going the way of VHS, though I still dub via that method before digitally transferring it). Of course, don't forget Betamax! First off, while they tend to be harder to find, they are far more likely to uncover that 80's (and even occasional late 70's) content on them! I recently uploaded a block from 1977 that came from a Beta recording that included most of an episode of The Bob Newhart Show, followed by the opening and first couple minutes of the short-lived CBS sitcom "We've Got Each Other". It came right off a K-30 Betamax tape that could only record 30 minutes in all. My oldest VHS find is an episode of Saturday Night Live from May of 1979, and includes a sketch on the recent Three Mile Island disaster, and also contains a lot of old local Baltimore commercials. Also, in addition to checking the labels, checking the label styles and even the tapes themselves often provide a clue if they're older, or more likely to contain Y2K-era recordings, which typically are lighter in weight. But even if you see a label that just has movies on them, it doesn't rule out surprises! Sometimes, a tape may have just a single movie on it, but the recorder either forgets to press the stop button or doesn't record over the rest of the tape, leading to various surprises. I recently found a tape where after a movie, it then followed a taped over portion of Saturday Night's Main Event from January of 1990, a full episode of It's Showtime At The Apollo, and about half of On The Beam, an R | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Nov 20, 2018 | |

| 2622 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think, for myself, I ended up preferring the shows in which the family was a whole. I'm guessing that is because my own family went through a divorce in my early teens, and I just wanted to feel stability. I would catch the Cosby's, Brady's, and others for sure. But I really enjoyed Family Ties the most. They always stuck with each other, even though they were all so different. And you never felt like there was a lack of love for anyone. | Growing Up Brady | Sep 09, 2015 | |
| 2640 | Article | kidcoffee | I almost forgot about Family Ties. For shame, but even still it was always about the Bradys for me. I think that may have to do more with the Bradys overly saccharine sweet approach to life whereas Family Ties was far more realistic with their approach. This made for a much better show, but my younger self desperate to escape reality would cling to the Brady Bunch for dear life. Also already being in syndication meant I could visit with the Brady kids far more often which to me was everything. Not that I didn't love my once a week visits with the Keatons, but they were so few and far between. Just when I felt myself warming up to the likes of Alex and Mallory I found myself ripped away forced once again to wait impatiently to find out what happened next. | Growing Up Brady | Sep 11, 2015 | |
| 2641 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, that was the difficulty of being a fan of shows not yet in syndication. I do think that some channels would show multiple episodes of the show from past seasons. Like maybe the earlier seasons were entered into syndication, while the first run shows airing. Still, the Brady's were great. Like you said, the saccharine nature of the show made you feel good inside, even when they were having issues. Kind of like the shows from the 50's and early 60's, everyone happy with their roles in life, never anything too stressful going on. People are always friendly, if not a bit nosy. Mayberryesque, if you will. | Growing Up Brady | Sep 13, 2015 | |
