I bow to your superior Google Fu.
It’s a method of artifically segmenting markets so they can charge higher prices where the traffic will bear them without being undercut by (re)importation. For instance, if it were possible to region-code groceries, the existing price differentials between city and rural stores could be increased, leading to hihger profits.
Well, that particular video was on my mind because I think someone else linked to it in some other thread not too long ago… don’t remember who it was, though.
I used to love watching SCETV’s NatureScene. It was a half hour program featuring a Naturalist and his sidekick sauntering around and discussing the flora and fauna of various natural areas. The conversations were low-key with kind of a southern drawl, but I found them really interesting and relaxing to watch. I would have loved to go with Rudy and Jim on one of their forays.
I’m a big Tarzan fan and have had absolutely no luck finding the various television shows, particularly the Ron Ely and Joe Lara series. None on any home video releases I can find, very few have been uploaded online, and I’ve had no luck via “alternative” methods. My other is old episodes of soaps, particularly Days, all of it’s episodes have been saved but virtually none are available. I also wish MGM would get around to either releasing Sea Hunt on DVD, or at least uploading more episodes on Hulu.
Pity, I loved that show. I thought Ron Ely did a fine job.
Didn’t read whole thread, but there was a TV movie Svengali, I adore

Peter O’toole AND Jodie Foster in a made for TV!!
Season one of the Ron Ely Tarzan is available from the Warner Archive http://www.wbshop.com/product/tarzan++season+one+part+one+1000278425.do?sortby=ourPicks&from=Search
IIRC, the show was ten times more hilarious than these descriptions. If it’s the one I’m thinking of, the build up was great. In the case of the one woman who fainted, they started out with a 4 tires. The woman thought she had won a car, then, 4 people came out with ribbons and tied her (loosely) with them. Then, the guy kept on in a similar vein, and the woman was almost screaming/crying/passing out. In the end, she won a big bucks car.
Found it!
My memory is fuzzy on this, but hat has got to be the right one. Thank you, Thudlow Boink.
I am so glad to see this thread, but haven’t seen what I was hoping to see!!!

Room 222, featuring Judy Strangis (soon to become DynaGirl) in a key role as Helen Loomis. I understand that some creep stalked her unmercifully and she retired from acting to avoid something nasty. Judy made my heart beat faster on those Friday evenings of long ago.

Also, I recall watching a B&W movie on a DFW station (WFAA?) in the 70’s. The movie was a “horror” movie and featured, as villian, a murderous maniac. At the conclusion, the police “killed” the villan and all seemed to end well and left the scene. Then…
The maniac resurrected (IIIIIIII - am - the MAAAANIACCCC…)and threatened to sneak into the homes and slit the throats of anyone who watched the movie and told the secrets of the movie. No idea of the title, the stars or when it was made (I assume late 40’s).
I swear, this is only the second time I have mentioned it to anyone (and I will not sleep well tonight).
Any ideas?
There are several British TV shows I’d like to see, but I don’t know if they even exist any more. They had two science fiction TV series in the 1960s with similar names – Out of This World and Out of the Unknown – that adapted several science fiction short stories and short novels. I’ve known about them for years, dever since I read about them thirty years ago in the Science Fiction Encyclopedia. I’ve since seen one episode on YouTube.
Also, as a avid Judge Dee fan, who was, in fact, turned on by the Nicholas Meyer-produced American Judge Dee TV movie, I’[d be very interested in seeing the six episode British TV version (Timothy Dalton is in one episode!)
I liked Herschel Bernardi in Arnie.
Sadly, it never been released on DVD, though an episode or two is on YouTube.
I’ve wanted to get “Miracle on 34th Street” with Sebastion Cabot for my wife but it doesn’t seem to be available.
It’s available on Netflix streaming but that appears to be it.
The first two seasons of Room 222 are available on DVD. Netflix has the Season One set, which is also available through the usual retail outlets; Season Two can only be purchased directly from Shout Factory.
:smack: I can’t believe I didn’t look there. Thanks hajario!
I saw a show years ago; it was a satirical year-end news recap hosted by Christopher Hitchens. A bit of googling and it was probably Everything You Need to Know on Comedy Central in 1993. There was a song about the people who had died that year, including Fred Gwynne and Pat Nixon.
Online information about the show is very meager.
i’ve come to learn to not go back and watch them on youtube… they’re never 1/2 as cool as i remember them, it’s too disappointing, the best ones live in your head and there alone
Remembered another one… many years ago the Beeb showed a series called Seven Little Australians, the final episode of which features the tragic death of one of the characters. It was horribly sad and scarred many a child for life.
Don’t think it’s ever been shown again since, or if it has it’s been heavily edited.
