| 2625 | Article | Caps 2.0 | Well, as Vapor alluded to, I do have a lot of experience with this. It all started back on RetroJunk, when I frequently came across cool commercials and trailers on YouTube that I thought belonged on RetroJunk. I didn't start giving credit to the original uploaders until 2008. In 2009, I got the Pinnacle video editing program, and so I started taking commercials from the DVDs I had purchased. Unfortunately, a lot of the recordings wouldn't move until I purchased the CloneDVD program. As for why I enjoy vintage broadcasts, and the commercials contained therein, it's because I did a lot of recording on VHS tapes well into my 20s. I ended up taping over a lot of the stuff I recorded in the 1980s, including a lot of amazing Disney specials that I regret recording over. I've since found a lot of them on websites that sell recordings with original commercials, and it's been fun. | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 09, 2015 | |
| 2624 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, that sucks. I have many VHS recordings from days past, most of them home movies but some recordings of things like Saturday Night Live, NBA games, and the like. | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 09, 2015 | |
| 2623 | Article | onipar | Ah, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, all of those feelings, thoughts, and questions that come along with a viewing of an old recording is wonderful. I'm sad to say almost all of my personal recordings and home movies have long ago succumbed to mold. :-( | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 09, 2015 | |
| 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 | |
| 2621 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think this may be my favorite article of yours so far. You're so right. It's not about the shows or commercials themselves. Like you said, they can be watched at any point on YouTube (and in some cases, HERE!) But to find all those other little details... local ads, local station promos, etc. And then to watch them all just as they aired together, like for a moment your TV has stepped back in time and is showing you what was on at any given moment, somewhere in the US. Then you start to wonder what the person recording the tape was thinking or doing while watching these shows and such play out. What was the purpose? What shows were they hoping to capture the most? Where is that person now? There just so much wrapped up in the simple act of watching the old recordings of someone else. I have a feeling Caps has extensive experience with this, as all of his video submissions seem to come from these types of recordings, local ads and all. | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 09, 2015 | |
| 2620 | Article | Vaporman87 | Seriously... why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel about Enuff Z Nuff. LOL. I've never even heard of that band. Perhaps that's a good thing. I know exactly what you mean regarding both Guns N Roses and Nirvana. One of my closest friends and his brother were devoted Guns N Roses fans, and when I wasn't being forced to listen to their music on the radio in my own car, I was being forced to listen to them on tape in theirs, or at their house, or just singing their songs... very poorly. Ugh!!! Nirvana's popularity always threw me for a loop. They really didn't seem very good at... well anything. But apparently I was alone in that feeling. | A Few Bands From The Past That I Hate And Why | Sep 09, 2015 | |
| 2619 | Article | Vaporman87 | One thing I take from this article is that my assessment of Ozzy, gathered during my stint watching his reality show, was correct. He partied wayyyyy too hard and it showed in some of this crazy stunts. LOL. But you can't discount the man's talent. He definitely knew how to sell records. | A Few Facts About Ozzy Osbourne You May Not Know | Sep 09, 2015 | |
| 2618 | Video | Vaporman87 | Huh. They seem to have left out the part about her being a racist eugenicist with ties to Hitler. Odd. | Planned Parenthood Of Florida | Sep 09, 2015 | |
| 2617 | Article | outcastjon | A character that I always had this issue with was Eric Matthews on Boy Meets World. At the beginning of the show he started off as being the cool older brother, but when the show got to their college years Eric became a moron where he was dumb, and no longer cool. I always hated what they did to him. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Sep 08, 2015 | |
