| 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. | Sep 13, 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 2629 | Article | onipar | Oh wow, there are websites dedicated to selling these kinds of tapes!? That's amazing, I had no idea! It's actually pretty hard to find "the good stuff" at yard sales, so I may have to check out these sites. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to upload from vhs tapes, but if I ever find enough tapes, I may buy a program/machine to do so. | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 10, 2015 | |
| 2630 | Article | Vaporman87 | Actually I think it may be best to first convert the VHS tapes to DVDs, then rip them to your computer that way. I'm not sure how Caps does it, but my guess is that he first converts them, then edits them in Pinnacle (which I also use, for all video edits like the Specials). | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 10, 2015 | |
| 2632 | Article | Caps 2.0 | Actually, all my stuff is already on DVDs purchased from various sources. Vapor has it right. I convert them, and then edit them in Pinnacle. | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 10, 2015 | |
| 2634 | Article | onipar | Ah, right on! Yeah, I actually just saw that forum thread on this very subject too. Very cool; I'll have to look into all of this. | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 10, 2015 | |
| 2635 | Article | mickyarber | One of my favorite bits of retro programming I own, is a vhs of Superbowl 20 from January of '86. They recorded the pre-game, game, half-time, and all the commercials! I also have a small collection of home recordings of WWF Saturday Night's Main Event which also still feature all the commercials..Zzzv C | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 10, 2015 | |
