Finding vintage and rare TV on YouTube

As you know, I love television. I check YouTube multiple times a day. And since I use Firefox I added Fast Video Download. This allowed be to download most videos without hassle.

Because most shows are split into multiple parts because of the 10 minute time limit I download all of the parts. I then use FinalCut Express to edit them together and create a single file. I then can share this with other people and I include a copy in the archive I am building for my school

If you are looking for classic TV on YouTube check out the following channels:

80sCommercialVault

austvarchive

thesixtiesguy
WookieCookie

VampireHunterDVD

And my favorite is TVDays. Ira Gallen is a TV and film preservationist and has a collection of tens of thousands of film reels. For example he has more then 20,000 commercials. He also has a website - tvdays.com - where you can purchase DVDs of some of his collections that are in the public domain.

And if you like websites try TVparty.com. A lot of great articles on classic TV. There is a free site and a more indepth paid site.

I'm back and Ugly Betty Canceled

Welcome everyone,

After a year of no posting I have decided to take this blog in a different direction. Instead of having my writing be academic in nature I am now going to be sharing my views on TV while at the same time keeping the history of TV alive.

Here I am sitting at home watching Ugly Betty. Boy do I love my DVR.

I am so sad that the show has been canceled. Now there are only 7 episodes left. ABC has promised that loss ends will be cleared up. And let's hope they do a dramatic final episode. Since first episode the question of Justin's sexual orientation has been hinted at and played around with. It is time to deal with what is an important topic and let Justin be who he really is.

I am going to try to update my blog on a weekly basis so please bear with me and I get in the grove.

Thanx,
William
