    RIP Jeff MacKay

    I loved his work as Dr Abe Butterfield in Doctor, Doctor with Matt Frewer. A vastly underrated and too-quickly cancelled show (although it ran for nearly 3 years... when you could find it)

    I feel for you, and not to be obtuse about this, but was it Swiss Chalet or St. Hubert's ?

    The Office: Season 3

    My favourite part of the episode (but you had to look quick), was when Creed came out from behind the hedge saying something like "Look, a castle", while zipping up his fly. :laugh:

    What was your very first DVD?

    The cost might have something to do with the relatively small distribution that Palm Pictures has ? Agreed that SMS has a higher retail than a lot of dvds but then I priced out The Kids Are Alright, of which even the cheap version is within a couple of bucks of SMS. Or perhaps they fancy...

    What was your very first DVD?

    First disc purchase was the original A Bug's Life release, the player followed a month later (Tosh 2109, replaced shortly thereafter by the 5109 due to the first not being able to play The McGarrigle Hour dvd (odd firmware issue) and now finally a Pioneer Elite H 65S, recorder w/hdd).... same...

    Which harddrive dvd recorder to get?

    PeterGri - Just to toss my $0.02 in on this.... Recently I purchased a Pioneer DVR 65H-S recorder from their Elite series. Basically it's the same as their 520 model but boasts a 160GB hard-drive and a 3 Year Warranty in Canada. (plus now I see that it's dropped by $200.00 on it's MRSP...

    Where are my Iron & Wine fans?

    I popped for the vinyl of "Our Endless Numbered Days".... an amazing and beautiful album. I haven't heard the ep that preceded it, but someone who has it told me it was pretty much a lo-fi affair. NP:Woman King (if I can find it here in my town)

    Kool and the Gang :)

    My Kool & The Gang collection began and ended with "Wild and Peaceful" on vinyl. I didn't find much that they did after that was on a par with this album. Maybe that's just me.

    It's grillin' time..........

    Here's something I've been doing for the last few years. The flavour is amazing and it's not spicy at all (of course you could add some Jerk Seasoning, but be careful as this stuff is deadly ! Usually about a half Tablespoon gives it a nice 'glow'.) Serves: 4 2 lbs. chicken pieces (drums...

    What show was this?

    IIRC, the teacher was played by Barry Evans, who a few years earlier played the part of Dr. Michael Upton in the Doctor In The House series.

    Good deals you found at goodwill, second-hand stores, or yard sales...

    Picked up in a used vinyl store in 1986: MFSL vinyl of "The Beatles" aka "The White Album" $12.99 MFSL vinyl of "Magical Mystery Tour" $6.99 Both in primo condition. The staff must have been asleep when they priced these items and put them out in the "new arrivals" bin that day, as items...

    Most wanted Music Videos & Concerts on DVD?

    Japan - Oil On Canvas ....again with a properly re-done soundtrack. The vinyl of this stomps all over the Virgin VHS release.

    Fawlty Towers R1 set-Missing some dialogue!!!

    The set "Full Bottom" appears to have the episodes intact. At least there's more complete scenes and less editing than when it aired here on YTV in the mid-90's (possibly due to commercial considerations, although 'taste' may have played a roll) :laugh:

    New Lambchop - which.... both ?

    Just wondering if anyone has picked up either or both of the new Lambchop releases "Aw C'mon" or "No, You C'mon" . The excerpts on offer at http://www.lambchopmusic.com/ sound great, not much like "Is A Woman" or stuff from "Nixon". Any thoughts on which is a better almost-blind purchase...

    Best Disc you purchased by internet reccomendation?

    Just one pops to mind. Ramsay Midwood's "Shoot Out At The OK Chinese Restaurant". A great collection of songs influenced by Tom Waits, Greg Brown, JJ Cale, John Prine, et al.

    Finding Nemo French version?

    Um, I was being sarcastic. But to be fair, it's unfortunate that our French-speaking compatriots are excluded from enjoying the w/s version in their preferred language and are thereby relgated to J6P-dom by the limitations of the capacity inherent in the format. c'est la vie.

    Finding Nemo French version?

    Nope, all Canadian disc sets have both versions in one dual-case set. And to be fair, it does say French version included, not versions ;)

    Hawaii Five-O - Any Interest Out There?

    My personal favourite ep's were "Over 50 ? Steal !" and it's sequel "Odd Man In" that both featured Hume Cronyn.,,, nifty interlude music too. They played on TV Land recently, first time I'd seen them since 1970/1
