Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 94th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings, and with this installment, titled "Into Every Generation," I celebrate seven years of doing so.

Helping to mark the occasion, in my Fuzzy Feature I chatted with longtime friend and friend of the pod Marc Bailey, also known as Grailwolf, to talk about the 1992 release of Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the FX presentation of which turned up on disc 1604 in my classic collection. We talked about the movie, the TV series it gave rise to, the spinoff of "Angel" and the comic series, as well as other Whedon projects, and farther reaching ramifications of the production.

In honor of this film turning up in my cataloging project, I have expanded the mystical center of my media collection to include Joss Whedon productions, in my newly renamed Joss Under Murph Studios Challenge, linking shows in my collection through "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," "Six Feet Under," Ryan Murphy productions and/or Joss Whedon productions. A few connections become quite a bit clearer and just make more sense with the acknowledgement of this expansion, which suggests it was a de facto center all along.

In Cross Connections I explore some of the impacts of this expansion, certainly through my Fond Reflection farewell to the movie Buffy's Watcher character Merrick, played by Donald Sutherland. I trace other connections through "Criminal Minds," "The Closer," "NUMB3RS" and a two-part "Alice in Wonderland"-themed Syfy miniseries starring Caterina Scorsone titled "Alice."

In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, for this set covering discs 1601 through 1625, I talked about a significant second-season episode of "Rescue Me," a documentary recounting 40 years of the Broadway production of "Hair," the pilot epiosde of "Criminal Minds," Syfy's miniseries "Alice," and a bunch of episodes from "Arrested Devleopment," "South Park," "The Simpsons" and "24," alongside a bunch of music videos as well as the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, hosted by ... oh. Sean "Puffy" Combs.

In my Current direct-to-digital recordings, I talk about Pat Sajak stepping down form hosting duties on "Wheel of Fortune," podcaster Terry Geo's 2023 stage production of "Blink: A One-Man Gay Rom-Com," that link available here: https://bit.ly/45DbBeV and a spoiler-y look back at the first season finale of "Doctor Who," which I include at the very end of the show in case you're still avoiding spoilers.

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 93rd episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings.

In my Fuzzy Feature, I talk about the two-part series finale of "Monk," which turned up in my cataloging efforts this time. In Cross Connections I traced ties through "Monk," "Fringe" and "Moonlighting," and highlighted Golden Thread connections with Larry Clarke and Sharon Lawrence.

In my Classic Collection (VHS-to-DVD), cataloging discs 1576 to 1600, I found where I'd appeared on local noon shows promoting community theater, clip posted to VideoFuzzy's Instagram. Also, "Fringe" – both here and in my Current Collection – "Medium" "Monk," "Criminal Minds" "Prison Break" and "NUMB3RS" and animated shows like "American Dad," "Venture Brothers," "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" and "Tom Goes to the Mayor." I found some racy commercials and talk about the marketing concept of "floym." Plus, music videos (check out Jack Johnson's 2005 "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" here: https://bit.ly/3WFdK7q) and episodes of "The Twilight Zone."

In my Current Collection, I added a BUNCH of material this time including I already mentioned "Fringe" up there, I added seasons 4 and 5 to my collection, plus the entire series of "Moonlighting" and a couple different ties to "Medium" and "Fringe." Plus comments on "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," "Spider-Man: No Way Home," "The Batman," Alanis Morrisette's recent turn on "Austin City Limits," and more from the new season of "Doctor Who."

I close out with a couple unique productions. I explore the Indigo Girls' 1995 VHS release "Watershed: 10 Years of Underground Video" callback to sister podcast "VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack" Ep. 10: Caramia, some of the cool things I found there. Then my hubby, Ralph, and I recently took in the "Wheel of Fortune LIVE" production at Prairie Knights Casino and Lodge with cohosts Bob Goen and Daisy Wang and announcer Cody Dove, who was really leaning into that "Better Call Saul" credit. It was a great time and they put on a fun show.
