In this installment, I clean up a little old business regarding those "unrecoverably absent" portions of SciFi's three-part miniseries "Tin Man" from last time and rule out a possibility on Crowdsourcing Exhibit C, the crowd scene in the French Quarter of New Orleans. My Friday Night Feature explores a season 1 episode of "Samantha Who" and a bombshell revelation from season 1 of "Pushing Daisies." My Classic Collection traces the 1.0 version of this video cataloging project, episodes of NBC's "Life" and "The Universe" on the History Channel, and ABC's presentation of Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events." My Current Collection has logged nearly a score of "Supernaturals," a few more "Fawlty Towers" and closed out my collection of "Archers" and "Brockmires." I saved a standout episode of "The Family Guy" and determined that I'm going to go back in and recatalog my episodes of "The President Show" to make them easier to navigate. Finally, in What I've Been Watching, I can't say I stayed spoiler-fre

In this installment, my Friday Night Feature on "Tin Man" opens onto what appears to be a puzzling, unrecoverable absence of missing media, and while talking out my next move I comment on MTV News and anti-piracy efforts. My Classic Collection offers up a few more Kathy Griffin stand-up specials, and my Current Collection sparks some commentary on "Bob's Burgers." In What I've Been Watching, I spend a weekend clearing movies from the DVR including "Dark Shadows," "Insidious," "Pulp Fiction" (one of my many, many recordings), "Guys and Dolls," "ParaNorman" and "Cabin in the Woods," tho I am thwarted yet again in my viewing of "Hocus Pocus." Also, I draw some parallels between Pixar’s brilliant Dia de los Muertos epic "Coco" (go see it -- go see it now) and Laika's "Kubo and the Two Strings" from last summer, and I close out with some comments on Carol Burnett's delightful 50th Anniversary special.

In this installment, a celebration of female empowerment and creativity. I encountered a stand-up routine by pre-severed head Kathy Griffin, a groundbreaking episode in the "Fargo" series, and some sweet comedy gold from the hive of Samantha Bee. Plus, Ralph and I take in "Justice League" and some follow up on disc mishaps.

In this installment, I am overjoyed to discover a serious find in my classic collection, as my Friday Night Feature takes me through the HBO presentation of "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers." I paired that with a deep dive into "The Great Ziegfeld" from my current collection, plus in what I’ve been watching, I finally got to see "Ninjago."

In this installment, thank you, thank you, thank you to all my Facebook friends and friends of friends who nudged me in the right direction on my most challenging "Crowdsourcing" entry to date. A rather light project sampling brought little of significance into view this time, so I take the opportunity to make a deep dive into my classic collection. Finally, some apologies for errors I've discovered in the course of this podcast. Enjoy!

In this installment, I catch up with a few fall comedies, including the premiere of "9JKL" and the return of "Bob's Burgers" and "Superstore." I report on my efforts to create a homemade DVD set of "Legion," and I make some decent progress on my current collection. Finally, I both in theory and in practice reject the "Wisdom of the Crowd." Enjoy!

Welcome to this, my 10th installment of VideoFuzzy! I've decided that every tenth episode will include a show-so-far on my cataloging efforts, so for this one, I decided to pull in my entire pre-podcast classic collection – Discs 1 through 228 are now listed on my VideoFuzzy blog as Catalog Post #000. Also, while recent premieres took some attention away from my cataloging efforts, they fit in pretty well with my Friday Night Feature, an oddly relevant double episode of "My Name Is Earl."

In this installment, I correct a few errors I've discovered along the way in this cataloging effort, and revisit my methodology. I catch up with the Poirot installment I highlighted last time, and enjoyed the season opener for "American Horror Story: Cult."

In this installment, I finally break into some fresh programming, and an experiment involving the series premiere of "The Shield" leads to a revelation, however short-lived. Recovery efforts are thankfully rewarded with an otherwise potentially lost episode of "Preacher," and the 16th season of "Project Runway" gets off to a great start.

In this installment, exploring "A Life Less Ordinary." Also, USA Networks turn in a strong psychological drama with "Sinner," and I revisit a bit of joyous legal nonsense in John Lithgow's "Trial & Error."

In this installment, talking shop with Sonja and Tabitha while sifting through the 2007 fall premieres in my classic collection, including a little gem called "Reaper." I'm up to season six in "Supernatural" and the premiere of "Feud: Bette and Joan" in my current collection, and oh wow, the things I've been watching. Welcome to the show.

In this installment, apologies to USA Network's "The Dead Zone" and especially "The 4400," which I may have slighted in a recent comment. I'll talk about inspiration from classic hit Elvis Presley songs, finally watching the movies that turn up in my classic collection and some of what I'm looking forward to, and in what I've been watching, "Preacher" seems like a good bet.

In this installment, a few practical applications of this project. I recount the trials of crafting my first Frankendisc and I add to my music library. Also, my thoughts on "Bridge to Terabithia" and "The Gong Show."

In this installment, I cataloged disc 250 in my classic collection, which is roughly 10 percent of the way through! I watched the "Doctor Who" season finale for my Friday Night Feature, but otherwise made little progress in my current collection. Still, what's a holiday for but to kick back and relax? Happy Fourth of July everyone!

In this installment, I’ve finally cleared out my DVR, and what I found on that thing. I found some great shows on my VHS transfers, including my Friday Night Feature commentary on episodes of "The Company," and recorded some history in my current catalog. What I've Been Watching: "Supernatural" and "Doctor Who." Classic Catalog: "The Nine," "My Name is Earl" and "Close to Home." Crowdsourcing: "The Curious Case of Disc 232."

A 30-second introduction to my ongoing efforts of cataloging my video archives and what I've been finding on them.

Hi! I'm Terry J. Aman, host of VideoFuzzy, a media-centric nostalgia bomb currently working through thousands of DVD transfers from VHS tapes of television you may remember fondly -- or not -- as well as current recordings, cross-connections and comments along the way. Find my blog here, and my VideoFuzzy podcast here. Happy viewing!

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, host of VideoFuzzy, the podcast confessions of a media packrat with thousands of VHS to DVD transfers and no idea what's on them. I'm cataloging furiously, however, and every two weeks I'll update you with what I've been finding in my classic recordings, my current recordings and what I've been watching, sifting this basket of media memories. With a media collection stretching back to the '80s, this is going to take a while, but just hang on, we'll get through this together. Enjoy!
