Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 62nd episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,800 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Everybody's Talking About How Bad This Is," I highlight "Masks in the Moonlight," a benefit I attended for the Bismarck Cancer Center, and recommend the cause to anyone able to help. I also discuss musical clips I've put together for past episodes, referencing television theme songs and so forth. With the potential for copyright infringement (none is or has ever been intended in this production), I'll be stepping away from including them in the future. My "Friday Night Feature" highlights a pivotal episode of "Mad Men." In the run-up to the second season finale, Don deals with separation from his family as the ad firm undergoes major developments in his absence. In "What I've Been Watching," Ralph and I attend a community theater production of "Greater Tuna," and the title reference, from the NBC series premiere of the Fran Drescher project "Indebted," that is, "Everybody's Talking About the Pilot." This was not a good show, but via "Golden Thread" extension from my "Cross Connections" discussion, I attempt to reconcile Steven Weber's role in that project and elsewhere in my collection, up to and including his significant role in Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," which I've identified as one of the mystical centers of my media collection. In my VHS-to-DVD "Classic Collection," I celebrate the debut of Kristin Chenoweth as Annabeth Schott in the sixth season of Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing," the fourth episode, titled "Liftoff," with possible comic references to "Noises Off!" In my direct-to-DVD "Current Collection," I discuss "Supernatural," the run-up to the 12th season finale of "Doctor Who," the third season of "Sherlock," the run-up to the 18th season finale of "Project Runway," the "Bad Tina" episode of "Bob's Burgers" and connections with "Parks and Recreation," premieres of USA shows "The Sinner" and "Briarpatch" and Aaron Paul rocked in the Netflix production "El Camino" (2019). And in VideoFuzzy at the Movies, "Birds of Prey, and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn" was awesome!
Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 52nd episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,800 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Metaphysical Zoological Hallucinations," (following some spoiler-y corrections on "Claws"), I highlight a half-dozen episodes from Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing," archived from a fan-voted top ten episode Labor Day 2004 marathon on Bravo as part of the series' syndication on that channel. In Cross Connections, I trace "Studio Six Feet Under" connections from a collection of movies that aired on FXM Retro and which I pull up for comment under "VideoFuzzy at the Movies," including "Journey to the Center of the Earth," "Wizards," "The Man Who Wouldn't Die," "23 Paces to Baker Street," "Quintet," "11 Harrowhouse," "Mister 880," "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" and "The Third Secret," highlighting Ed Begley Jr's multiple appearances throughout my collection, as well as appearances by Laurie Metcalf, Jason Manzoukis, Mark A. Sheppard and Barry Corbin. In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, I talk about a few "West Wing" episodes I tracked down in my back catalog in preparing for my feature commentary, archive recordings of speeches by Joe Biden and Barack Obama at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, including an unfortunate camera mishap involving a streamer cannon. Also, comments on Monty Python's Flying Circus royal episode, Monk prop issues and Simpsons meme synchronicity. In my direct-to-DVD Current Collection, comments on the series finale of "Legion," as well as "Preacher," "Pose," "Pearson," "Archer 1999" and I listed out the menagerie they pulled in for a fun little [adult swim] bumper headed "Metaphysical Zoological Hallucinations," including the Motaur by Progressive, Gritty the hockey mascot, a cutie cthulie (an octupus) and a platypus, which they caption a "weirdo duck." Fun! In VideoFuzzy at the Movies, I highlight Bravo's presentation of "La La Land," comments on the FXM Retro movies I listed up there under Cross Connections, and a comment on the late Peter Fonda. Finally, in Upcoming Shows, Comedy Central is airing third season episodes of "BoJack Horseman." Enjoy!

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 35th episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,700 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "And The Award Goes to ... Huh?" I depart from my usual format to discuss the Emmys and my complete lack of interest, mainly due to the fact that I can't even see a lot of these shows without some kind of premium cable or subscription service. In my classic VHS-to-DVD collection, I talk about an episode of Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing" that showed up around the same time as part of his "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip." I rip on "Criminal Minds" and "NUMB3RS," and chat about such other shows as "Boston Legal" and "Dexter," which anchors a segue into comments on my current direct-to-DVD recordings of "Supernatural" and then "American Horror Story: Apocalypse." In what I've been watching I finished season 2 of "The Good Place" in anticipation of the Season 3 premiere this past week, and highlight a viewscreen from the season 1 finale listing the largest contributions to Eleanor Shellstrop's negative rating. Also, I list corrections going back to March, and determine that I'm just going to correct errors as I encounter them. Finally, one of the podcasts I listen to, "In Our Time: Science," hosted by Melvyn Bragg through BBC Radio 4, has resumed releasing episodes and you can access them here. Enjoy!
This week we dig into Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing and talk about.... well mostly about how much he seems to hate women. But also problematic neoliberal attitudes, Sam being a jerk, Bartlett monologuing, and sexism. It's a lot about sexism. Plus we FMK some of the ladies of The West Wing!

"When you're open, about your own life, that's sometimes when the best things happen." Not many people can boast about working in the real White House and the fictitious one on Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing, but Eli's journey to both was unplanned. It was the result of a big, fat "No" in the form of possibly the most disputed Presidential campaign in the history of our country that led Eli out to the west coast to do something he had never really fathomed: write for TV and Film. A consummate gentleman and one of the brighter people I know, Eli has over-achieved in everything he's ever done, without realizing it, by working hard and seeing "No"s as a mere bend in the road. Our conversation includes... ## What it was like to be NYC Mayor Dinkins' speechwriter at 25. ## Why Eli put Law School off forever. ## Inside stories on some of the inner workings of Washington. ## How to collaborate on speeches with politicians like Al Gore. ## How getting in touch with Aaron Sorkin isn't that difficult if you just finished working for the guy who was a few hanging chads away from being the leader of the free world. ## The motivation for writing and the difference between writing for others and creating your own content. ## Being led less by your head and more by your heart and soul to find your true voice. ## If you like what you hear, please Subscribe, leave an iTunes review and spread the word.

On this week's show, Mr. Carlson goes to Washington! Ready or not, Eric's been assigned an immense challenge: to sham-write a piece based on the most prestigious of all prestige dramas, Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing! Will people walk and talk at the same time? (They'd better!) Will President Bartlet tell a folksy story of great significance? (Most likely!) Will all our nation's most pressing issues be solved? (We're counting on it!) If there's an Emmy for podcasting, this is our chance to bring it home! No pressure, right?
Hello faithful listeners, ye who are full of faith! Welcome to a another special episode of CTG Podcast. This month Mike and I have recommended new media to the other for our review session. I (Robert) suggested the movie Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself and Mike heralded Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing." Please forgive us caffeine and sugar drove us into tangentland more than once. I Can Do Bad All by Myself (2009) - IMDb Top Ten Left Wing Scenes on The West Wing | Media Research Center The Ten Best "West Wing" Episodes Why do Heathens Make the Best Christian Films? In anticipation of Guillermo Del Toro's kaiju vs. robot extravaganza Pacific Rim coming out next month, we will be turning our gaze upon his previous films Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army. Both are available on DVD, Blu-Ray, Netflix, and for rent on Amazon. For TV Corner, a new show has come to our attention, that Anne Heche vehicle "Save Me" airing currently on NBC Thursdays at 8PM Eastern. You can also catch up on previous episodes at NBC.com and Hulu Plus.
