First Thoughts & the 2 Funniest Moments

There are a couple of the 380+ episode sets on Ebay and maybe other sites. I have one of them and it's pretty good, with varying quality and wildly varying audio levels from episode to episode. No problem, except when you have the sound set high for one episode, forget, and the next episode practically blows out your speakers. Most of the episodes appear to be taken from Youtube or the Mill Creek set. Some episodes (not many) have "jumpy" video--probably a bad digital conversion to begin with. There are many complete episodes, with original commercials.

The color season has the majority of the episodes in color, and the rest from 16mm black and white films.

All in all a worthwhile purchase. The main advantage is having a set in some kind of order by season, instead of a hodgepodge of multiple sources.

Not hilarious, but interesting. One main reason it was so good was TUESDAY WELD!!! Wow, what a beauty she was. She danced with every one of the Nelson men folk too! Tuesday made this episode a memorable one.

I highly recommend the following eps:

* Wally’s Traffic Ticket
* The Fraternity Rents A Room
* The Fraternity Pin
* The Kappa Sig Party

And.....

Tutti Fruitti Ice Cream

Hiya Hazel A just curious...do you have any sets of O & H?

[Hazel Anyday]

Coinky Dinkily, I just saw Fraternity Rents A Room yesterday for the first time. It was shown this past Friday night in Z Living 3 hour midnight block. That was a new one and so far 2 other new ones are in that block. Today I saw for the first time "David Goes Back To Work" 10.5 with Captain Binghamton as his lawyer boss. Still have two more to watch, saving them for tomorrow and next day. The weekday 11 am Z Living shows this week are all old repeats of repeats, disappointing, but at least their 3 hour midnight block was loaded with newbies, mainly all season 10 shows.

As for O&H collections, I made my first set of O&H DVDs when RTV used to show O&H 15 years ago or thereabouts. But they started showing repeats of repeats back then too, so I think I got around 100 from them before the repeats started. Maybe less, I'd have to check my records for exact count. Now I'm getting whatever new ones Z Living shows (Mnet is still showing nothing but the same old repeats of repeats at 5 am that they started out with). I did buy the O&H Alpha Video Christmas set of 8 episodes that I found on Amazon. And from another multi-TV show Christmas commercial DVD set I got one more different Christmas O&H show. So for the past 10 years since I no longer get RTV I've been watching only the Christmas episodes every December, never did get back to watching my RTV set a second time after I first saw them. But now I'm back to my O&H habit with Z Living.

OMG, I went through my (largest) 96 DVD wallet and must have at least ten different sets. Tons of repeating eps—I know I have at least four copies of “The Fraternity Rents A Room”. It’s a classic ep, often showing up on O & H releases; three of my copies are shortened versions....but one is full cut 28 min with the commercials. It was from a Madacy VHS set, which fortunately, I was able to transfer to DVD.

It’s a great ep, with Wally Cox guesting as the nerdy prof. who assigns TONS and TONS of homework and when he rents a room at the frat, severely cramps the guys lives. So many great eps though.

I hope you come across “Wally’s Traffic Ticket”. It’s from The last season, and is, IMO one of the funniest eps in the series. I highly recommend this ep; let me know if you come across it.

Sadly, I don’t get Z Living. But with so many goodies up on YT, I’m quite happy. Even if they come down, I still have my oodles of DVD eps.

Well, since I wrote about this last, Mnet no longer exists but ZLiving is still around. They've improved themselves in that they now CORRECTLY display which episodes of O&H they are going to be showing. The listings on the guide were always wrong before. BUT the bad news is they now only show O&H one night a week in the overnight hours in a 3 hour block. I think it's on Saturday night now but I don't watch anymore as I now am happy as a clam watching my thumbdrive with all the episodes I got from the internet. I only downloaded those I didn't already have on DVD so now I'm not forever watching repeats of the same repeats over and over. ZLiving seems to love their same set of repeats as they show them repeatedly. Tho to be honest I haven't been paying much attention to them anymore since I now rely on my thumbdrive. Who knows, maybe Z Living will put on a new one once in a while. I did recently see a color version of Ghost Town, I had never seen that before on Z Living. I guess I should be checking the guide each week to see if they're showing a "new" one or not.

With a show you really love, I totally agree that having your own private collection, whether by DVD, thumb drives, VHS etc, is the way to go. This way you have what you want when you want it.
