Neil Forbes 12th Jul 2015		TV Round The Twist (1989 - 2001)	Producing just 4 series over roughly 12 years means there must've been gaps of a number of years between the making of each series. No wonder, then, that the cast was changed in each(except for Richard Moir's two stints as Tony Twist) Though I'd like to see this series again, it's hardly likely to be re-run as it was shot in the old "Academy"(or 4:3) aspect ratio. The only stuff ABC is prepared to run in that screen ratio is old(ancient, creaky) RKO and Rank movies of the 1930s to 1950s........ Yawn!
Neil Forbes 12th Jul 2015		TV The Bradys (1990)	Seems to me like milking a formula for every last drop they could get out of it. The producers should've let the soppy goody-two-shoes Brady family fade away after the last episode made in 1974 was "in the can".
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Dr. Hook - Sometimes You Win	An intuitive keyboard! AAAAaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh! That's a-a-a sc-sc-scary th-th-thought, RC!
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		TV The Outer Limits (1963 - 1965)	Just be careful where you aim that thing, RC! It might affect people...affect people...affect people...affect people...affect people...affect people...affect people... See, it's happened already!....already!....already!....already!....already!....already!....already!....(fades)
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		TV Hogan's Heroes (1965 - 1971)	I said I'm crackin' up here, I see I'm not the only one, ay, RC?
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		TV Bread (1986 - 1991)	Methinks the producers were "loafin' around" when they came up with this "crumby" excuse for a sit-com! Certainly was "half-baked" and not worth a "crust"!(I think I've used up just about every possible pun there is on this show, ha-ha).
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		TV The Outer Limits (1963 - 1965)	Do not adjust your television! We have control of he horizontal, we have control of the vertical...... Ooooohhh spoo-oo-ooky!
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		TV Hogan's Heroes (1965 - 1971)	RC, Aaah zo, vee need to teach zee translator how to speak zee proper German, ay?(I'm definitely crackin' up, here!)
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		TV Hogan's Heroes (1965 - 1971)	Woa, RC Wee need to get zee German right, here! Ya?(we need to get the German right here, yes? Ooooh why am I doing this?) Okay, repeat after me: Du Dummer Idiot! Kannst du nichcts richtig tun?" Okay, now you.....(now I'm getting hit by those keyboard gremlins).
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Dr. Hook - Sometimes You Win	Keyboard gremlins, RC, keyboard gremlins! That where you put the blame! ha-ha!
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Hit Wave	I've recently burned this and its follow-up to CD-R, giving my own synthetic stereo effect to the monaural content of both LPs. They came up pretty good too, even if I do say so myself(modest little bugger, ain't I - don't answer that! ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Dr. Hook - Sometimes You Win	RC, I think your finger slipped on the keyboard, there! That would've, or should've been AX-4586.
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		TV Hogan's Heroes (1965 - 1971)	The fact that the four main German characters are played by German or Austrian Jews, may well be them having the "last laugh" on their tormentors! Leon Askin is no stranger to TV viewers, having played the "Landburger Gessler" in William Tell and he also appeared in an unused "extra" segment of Young Frankentein.
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		TV Hogan's Heroes (1965 - 1971)	Zooo you know nusssink about zis show at all?(So, you know nothing about this show at all? - I'm obliged to give an English translation here, ha-ha!)
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		DVD Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets - Warner Home Video	So, RC, you didn't have a "burning" desire to see Goblet of "Fire", ay?
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Cinema Young Frankenstein (1974)	Aaah, ze vunderz ov modern technologie!(Ah, the wonders of modern technology- I was trying to write with an accent, in case anyone thought I didn't go to school - Ha-ha).
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Cinema Young Frankenstein (1974)	Then I say to Mel Brooks: *Down, boy! Heel!*(Woof!)
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Cinema Young Frankenstein (1974)	Ah, Gene Hackman's later in the movie! He's a blind monk visited by the "monster".
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		DVD Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets - Warner Home Video	Don't forget to leave the lights on when you watch them, RC! The mood gets progressively darker with each successive "chapter" in the saga!
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Cinema Sometimes A Great Notion (1970)	Vic Christopher did a cover of Charley Pride's record in 1972 for a label still in its infancy in Australia in that year, M7 Records. I had a copy but got rid of it. Needless to say that, though I like Charley Pride as a singer, I don't bother with his, or anyone else's version of that song.
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Cinema Young Frankenstein (1974)	Jawohl!
Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Dr. Hook - Sometimes You Win	@Graham7, I have another method for the purpose of removing the black from the spindle hole, I'll use it for further uploads. Glad you liked the new label scans, though!
Neil Forbes 9th Jul 2015		TV Hee Haw (1969 - 1993)	@23skidoo, I only got to see a brief portion of the show at my brother's place. Back at home(Stockton, NSW) our Sydney antenna blew down in a storm around 1972 and we were restricted to the local commercial station(NBN) and the ABC station(ABHN). Not much of a choice there! And Hee-Haw was definitely NOT on NBN's schedule!
Neil Forbes 9th Jul 2015		Cinema Young Frankenstein (1974)	@Zabadak - "Pardon me boy, is this the Transylvania station?" Track 29! Can I give you a shine?
Neil Forbes 9th Jul 2015		Cinema El Buque Maldito (The Ghost Galleon) (1974)	Another ghost flick I missed on! Aw gee!
Neil Forbes 9th Jul 2015		DVD Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets - Warner Home Video	Winguardian Leviosa! - That ought to get you up off the floor, RC(assuming of course you were rolling on the floor, laughing at my comment about watching the remaining movies with the lights on!). Ha-ha!
Neil Forbes 9th Jul 2015		Blu-ray High Anxiety - 20th Century Fox	It had its moments though. I had a VHS of this which had(has) a linear stereo audio track(also have an old top-loading stereo VHS deck that plays and records linear stereo but has no inbuilt tuner - recording is by way of line-in A/V connections, RCA for the audio and BNC for video). The real disappointment for me was Mel Brooks didn't utilise the stereo effect that much in his movies. Just segments here and there, like his performance of the movie's theme song for instance.
Neil Forbes 9th Jul 2015		TV Hee Haw (1969 - 1993)	@23skidoo I remember seeing a bit of one of these shows once many moons ago when, on a visit to my Brother's house(some time around 1975 or so, he lived at Warners Bay then, with his family, and was able to pick up the Sydney stations.) Not sure which station carried this show, but what I saw of it made me immediately think of Laugh-In.
Neil Forbes 9th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Dr. Hook - Sometimes You Win	I've added improved label scans as Graham7 has requested. much sharper, ay? Found a trick, place a spindle of blank(or used) DVDs or CDs on the record as you scan. the weight presses the record label against the glass bed of the scanner. Mod, if you could please remove old label scans? Cheers! Thanks!
Neil Forbes 8th Jul 2015		TV Round The Twist (1989 - 2001)	@Harley Yeah! I thought it might've been her singing the theme! Even though Tamsin West and her co-stars from series one were replaced(though Richard Moir hung around for another series), they kept Tamsin West's performance of the theme song. That was mighty nice of them!
