Last week, I picked up a VHS tape that is the pilot episode of a short-lived TV series called "The Duke", from the late 1970s. Not a chance this will ever be on DVD or Laser Disc, much less Blu-ray. Now I need to hook up a VHS machine to see if it looks any good. The box and tape look VERY cheaply made.

The very last VHS tape I will purchased and will probably be the last tape I ever purchase. Is the "X" rated howlingly stupid, but outrageously funny parody of the Buster Crab's Flash Gordon serials of the late 1930's called Flesh Gordon. It is vital to watch some of the original serials before you watch "Flesh" otherwise it will make no sense. Emperor Wang (the Perverted) of the Planet Porno is shooting Earth with sex beams. Flesh Gordon is on his way back from the Andes Mountains when the plane his is in gets hit with a sex beam. From Here Flesh meets Dale Ardor, who is constantly getting her cloths ripped off, Dr. Flexi Jerkoff, and his "interesting" rocket ship that starts with a VW key Emperor Wang the Perverted, Queen Amora, Prince Precious, and of course "The Power Pasties" The movie also answers the question I know very well you have always been curious about. How does a monster who only has three fingers on each hand flip somebody off, the answer, they can't.

Why is it the LAST on you will purchase??
Today I got: Airport - (1970) This was a 1992 release by MCA/Universal .. Most movies MCA/Universal transferred to VHS starting in 1991 were digitally recorded to the tape,THIS ONE IS NOT.. It has the original MCA HOME VIDEO master on it so I am hopefull its the original analogue master that THAT MOVIE was filmed in.... EDIT: I got rid of the tape... Wasnt the original. Had letterbox all over it @ different parts.. (Only watched about 10 mins) Ill try again and see if I can find an earlier copy that hasnt been ruined...

It says 1984 on the tape so I assume they made this in 1984 (It was a 1981 release) |

I needed 1 blank tape and ended up with a NOS Ampex. I was surprised to find it was made in the USA.

The Duke
Quote:
Overview[edit] The Duke follows an aging boxer who became a private investigator. This Chicago, Illinois-set series starred Robert Conrad as Oscar "Duke" Ramsey; Conrad was actually a professional fighter in his own early years. The executive producer was Stephen J. Cannell, the show was produced by Stephen J. Cannell Productions, in association with Universal TV. |

My son had a snow day yesterday, so we went over to
our local Goodwill. He found the oldest vhs video tape we now own. It's a 1982 MCA copy of " Silence of the North ". We ran the tape. The colors tend to bleed, a little blurry. It was a rental store copy. Ed |

I've got some beta format rental tapes, and they are riddled with signal dropouts.

I can't believe anyone on this forum, doesn't have a VHS VCR. I lost count of how many, I have. I even have one Sony Beta, the only Beta, I would own.
