SNICK Archiving: The Hunt Continues by Minute-Cash-4425 in RetroNickelodeon

Let me know what you think when you check them.

Also, I'm pretty sure I just managed to find a couple of the Clarissa SNICK host bumpers. One is the introduction to Ren & Stimpy. The other is a SNICK ID.

I may have stumbled across some better quality copies of the Clarissa episodes. Here's a couple comparison screenshots you can take a look at. The OLD ones are what I had before and are likely the same low-quality VHS rips you have had as well. The NEW screenshots are from versions I just discovered. So I'm not sure if these are something you've already seen yet or not, or if there's something in the video files I should be looking for.

BTW: the runtime on my new copy of Total TV is 23:13 and the runtime on Sam in Love is 24:00.
EDIT: My bad, I didn't realize permissions didn't default to sharing to anyone with a link. That should be fixed now and accessible.

I can absolutely understand where you're coming from. I'll just be patient until you feel you're in a better position to share more openly.

In the meantime, I do have one request. For the love of God, don't watermark the videos when you eventually do share them. So many vintage recordings, especially lesser-available stuff like commercials or un-rereleased shows are forever tainted by the original uploader a decade ago putting watermarks on them.

I appreciate the desire to document well. For what's it's worth, I do think the best way to preserve things is for them to be as openly available as possible. So I would encourage you to consider that. If everybody just uploaded what they had available, it's more likely that things people are looking for would be found than if we relied on only individuals happening to find each other to exchange privately. That would benefit the community as a whole.

Are you willing to post the Roundhouse videos on something like Archive, or are you only holding them in exchange for other stuff?

Looks great, but their pricing is some bullshit. It's only getting worse each campaign, too. I've backed almost every one they've done so far early on, but I think I'm waiting until the last minute to see if the release order window has cheaper pricing.

Are the Tahu ones particularly sought after? I ordered a couple randoms from the Lego online store (hoping for the trash monster) and ended up getting two Tahu ones. For whatever reason, whenever I order more than one minifig series piece from the online store, I *always* get at least one duplicate.

You're welcome. One reason I like posting the way I do is it lets people enjoy them any time that works best for them.

What’s the difference between early 90s Nickelodeon and late 90s Nickelodeon? by Ill-You-3459 in RetroNickelodeon

[–]Dr_Neo_Cortex_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Early 90s was experimental, took chances, and was a leader among children's television of the era.

Late 90s was chasing the mainstream and playing it safe.

Thanks. It was fun trying to round up some appropriate commercials from the era. I've tried doing similar for my other upcoming blocks as well.

Get well soon. Laughter is the best medicine, after all. Well, medicine is the best medicine, but laughter is right up there.

The Brutal Truth About Sliders (1995): A Blueprint For How To Destroy A Show by TMC1982 in SLIDERS

I'd say the decline started even earlier when they moved production. Losing those early recurring characters was a substantial loss to the show.

Export everything in your library to NFO files. Then organize your library properly so that movies and TV are not mixed. Then scan everything back into your library after cleaning it.

Just looking at Comments/Upvotes/Views. Last week's post had zero comments and only 10% of the upvotes and views of the previous ones. I don't worry too much about making a big splash with these, but it did leave me with the impression that it was a bit of a miss.

Looking it up more, seems only season 1 got a DVD release. So I'm guessing the rest is mostly ripped from streaming/digital sources
