Updates|Back to the Front Door

5/10/13 - Created a new The Nanny library with thirty-two episodes so far, located in the Whacky Dames Catalog.

5/8/13 - Created a new Frankie Laine Time library with four episodes so far located in both the Musical Programs, and the Variety Shows Catalogs, and the Catalog of Stars. Added eleven episodes to the Alfred Hitchcock Presents library. This completes the library until I find some more episodes. By the way, I still have episodes to add to the The Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1985-89) and the The Alfred Hitchcock Hour libraries. Also added fifteen episodes to the Star Trek - the Original Series library, which brings us to the end of the first season.

5/7/13 - Added forty episodes to the Combat! Library. I thought that I had all of the episodes of this series bookmarked, but I am now finding that some of them, usually in batches of several consecutive episodes, have the embedding disabled by request of the person who posted the videos. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to why this was done for only certain episodes, and it wasted my time because I completed about fifteen inactive pages before I discovered the problem. I am now getting around this by pasting each embed into a test page and then making sure the embed is active BEFORE I complete the page for that episode. This naturally slows down my work, so that means that this library will take a while to complete, and that the finished library will NOT include ALL the episodes.

5/6/13 - Created a new 3rd Rock from the Sun library with forty-three episodes accessed via the Funny Guys Catalog. Another of my personal favorites. The library so far includes all of the first season episodes, plus nine from the second season. Many more to come.

5/5/13 - Created a new The New Perry Mason (1973-74) library with thirteen of the fifteen episodes in the series. This library is available as an appendix of the Perry Mason (Original Series) library and can also be accessed via the Mystery, Detectives and Crime Drama Catalog. Also added The Case of the Skin-Deep Scandal (1993), a TV Movie, to the Perry Mason (Original Series) library.

5/4/13 - Created a new Raymond Burr Catalog with ten Feature Films, five episodes of Perry Mason and three Other Raymond Burr Television Appearances. Accessed via the Feature Films, the Mystery, Detectives and Crime Drama catalogs and also the Catalog of Stars. Thanks to Richard Karch for suggesting I look for Perry Mason episodes.

5/2/13 - Added thirty-nine episodes to the Whose Line Is It Anyway? library. This takes us up to the 20th episode of the 3rd season (79 episodes total). By the way, I discovered that there were only 20 episodes in the 1st season, so we are on track to post the entire series (8 seasons total). Added one episode each to the Annie Oakley, the Musical Specials, and the I Led Three Lives libraries. Also created a new Cowboy G-Men library with two episodes in the Western TV Shows Catalog.

4/30/13 - Today I decided to try an experiment. I recently found all 5 of the Star Trek series' available on Hulu. They all have embed codes so I can post them on the site. What is confusing is that while some of the episodes are on the Free Hulu service - the bulk of them are on HuluPlus - which my wife and I pay for (about $8 a month). So am I to believe that I can embed these shows that are part of the paid service and display them on my site FOR FREE??? This makes sense HOW? It is either an oversight, or there is some kind of mechanisms to turn off the embeds at some point. I took one of the paid shows and embedded it into a test page on the site - and the video plays just fine.

For now I have posted the first fourteen episodes of Star Trek - the Original Series on the site - there are twenty-nine free episodes (the first season). I will probably finish posting the first season sometime next week. The Star Trek library is located in both the SciFi, Fantasy & Horror catalog and the Action/Adventure catalog. I will leave the test page up and see how it goes.

4/29/13 - Created a new I, Claudius (1976) library. I, Claudius was a 1976 BBC Television adaptation of Robert Graves's I, Claudius and Claudius the God. Written by Jack Pulman, it proved one of the corporation's most successful drama serials of all time. The history of the Roman Empire as experienced by one of its rulers. Unfortunately, Episode 2 - Family Affairs, is missing from this collection thus far. If I can find it I will add it later. The library is available in the Historical Drama library.

4/28/13 - Added twenty-four episodes to the Inside the Actors Studio library.

4/27/13 - Added an appearance on the Steve Allen Show (1957) to the Ginger Rogers library.

4/26/13 - Added Zorro the Gay Blade (1981) to the Zorro Feature Films library and the Action Adventure Films library. Thanks, Dennis! Also created a new The Shadow library with four feature films and two television programs, available in the Mystery, Detectives and Crime Drama catalog as well as the Catalog of Stars.

4/25/13- Added sixteen episodes to the Alfred Hitchcock Presents library.

4/23/13 - Created a new NewsRadio Library, with the first thirty-six episodes. Accessed via the Funny Guys Catalog. More to come!

4/18/13 - Today I completed Monty Python's Flying Circus library with final thirty-two episodes. This is another library that was very easy to build because it only involved changing episode numbers and titles. According to idbm, all but one of the episodes had titles.

4/17/13 - Created a new Monty Python's Flying Circus library with the entire first season (thirteen episodes). Many more to come. Thanks to Dennis Carter for pointing me in this direction. This library is accessed via the Funny Guys Catalog and the Catalog of Stars.

4/16/13 - Tonight I added the 4th Season of Mork & Mindy to the Jonathan Winters Library. There are twenty-two epsisodes. Winters co-starred as Mork & Mindy's son, Mearth, during the final season of the series. I have all of the M&M epsiodes bookmarked and will eventually add the other three seasons - but I wanted to go ahead and add these right away to compliment the Winters library.

4/15/13 - Added an episode starring Eleanor Roosevelt to the What's My Line? library, and episodes of Break the Bank (1955) and Chopsticks (1958) to the Misc. Game Shows library. Also created a new Youth Exploitation Films library with nineteen films, located in the Propaganda Films Catalog.

4/14/13 - Created a new Muppets Tonight library with twenty-one episodes so far. Muppets Tonight was a continuation of The Muppet Show, set in a television studio, rather than a theater. It ran on ABC from 1996-1998 and ran reruns on Disney Channel from 1997-2002. As of 2013, it was the last television series to star The Muppets characters. This library is accessed via the Funny Guys, Kid Shows, Musical Programs, and the Variety Shows Catalogs, and the Catalog of Stars.

4/12/13 - In honor of the passing of Jonathan Winter today, I have assembled a Jonathan Winters Library, including the fourteen television appearances, a long form interview from the Archive of American Television (2011) and one feature length film - Certifiably Jonathan (2007). One of the unique things about this remarkable funny man was that almost everything he did was improvisational. There is a lot of material available, so this library will grow as time goes by. Also added Heartbeat (1946) to both the Basil Rathbone and the Ginger Rogers libraries.

4/11/13 - Added ten matches and two full programs to the Robot Wars library.

4/10/13 - Tonight, after watching an episode of Craig Ferguson, with Drew Carey as his guest, I did a search on YouTube for Drew Carey and then created a new Whose Line Is It Anyway? library with a total of forty episodes - twenty episodes from the first season (all I have found so far) and twenty episodes from the second season, to start. These pages are very easy to create because the only things that change are the episode numbers and the embed code variables. I can turn them out at about one per minute, so many more to come!

4/9/13 - In honor of the passing of Annette Funicello yesterday, I have assembled an Annette Funicello Library, including the nineteen part "Annette" serial from the Mickey Mouse Club, her three appearances on the Disney's Zorro series, a episodes of Wagon Train in which she co-starred with Ross Martin, Back to the Beach (1987), with Frankie Avalon and The Mickey Mouse Club Story, a documentary aired on the Disney Channel in 1995. Just a little personal story - when the Mickey Mouse Club debut on ABC in 1955 I was seven years old. Annette was the first girl I ever looked at as...well, a girl! Despite the fact that she was five years older than me, I used to dream about her - she was my first big crush. Enjoy!

4/7/13 - Created a new Boston Blackie Film library with thirteen of the fourteen Boston Blackie films to compliment the Boston Blackie TV library. This, of course, necessitated creating a Boston Blackie Catalog to house both libraries. The Boston Blackie Catalog is accessed via the Mystery, Detectives and Crime Drama catalog as well as the Feature Films Catalog and the Catalog of Stars.

4/5/13 - Added nine more films to the Abbott and Costello Film library, seventeen episodes to the Alfred Hitchcock Presents library and five films to the Lucille Ball Film library.

4/3/13 - Tonight I was able to restore the Zorro (1990-93) library in a slightly different form. Whereas before I had a mix of first and second season shows, I now have the entire first season. I found these shows on Hulu - sorry about the commercials...

4/2/13 - Created a new Combat! Library with twenty-four episodes to start, accessed via the the Television Drama, Historical Drama and Action/Adventure Catalogs. Combat! was an American television program that originally aired on ABC from 1962 until 1967. The show starred Rick Jason as platoon leader Second Lieutenant Gil Hanley and Vic Morrow as Sergeant "Chip" Saunders. It appears that most of the first three seasons are currently available, so there will be many more to come. Thanks to Margaret Cutter for her suggestion on Facebook.

The YouTube Channel that hosted the bulk of the third sesson has been terminated for content issues. So I have all of the first and second season shows and four shows from the third and final season. I hope to be able to complete this library eventually, but at the moment I am stymied. Watch 'em while I still got 'em!!

3/25/13 - Created a new Private Secretary library with eight episodes. This library is accessable via the WhackyDames Catalog.

The revival episodes are in color and were produced well after Hitchcock's death in 1980. The stories are those of the master, retold with different actors and directors. I will create a library for the revival shows sometime in the next week and start adding them slowly.

Belated thanks to Dennis Carter for finding these great Basil Rathbone portrayal of the "private consulting detective" I've been putting up for a couple of days. I now have all fourteen of these films. They spurred me to do a little search of my own and uncover a raft of episodes of the superb BBC Sherlock Holmes TV show froym 1984 starring Jeremy Brett - including three TV movies! I only hope they last...YouTube videos have a tendency to disappear... Also created a new Other Sherlock Holmes' TV Catalog - a catch-all for miscellaneous Holmes television vehicles with a British TV movie and a UK pilot episode for a series that failed to get on the air, so far.

10/28/12 - Added seven films to the Sherlock Holmes Films library. Also creatd a new Sherlock Holmes BBC TV Series library with sixteen episodes and two TV Movies. All located in the Sherlock Holmes Catalog

10/21/12 - Added eight documentary war films to the Documentary Films library.

Also wanted to mention that I have been making steady inprovements to the site generally. For instance I installed a video window on the front page to feature a "Librarian's Choice" video. Either an interesting newly acquired video or else something appropos of the season (the current one is "Night of the Living Dead"). I have also added description copy to many of the library pages in recent weeks. These are simple additions to existing pages so I havn't been chronicaling them here. I have also been consolidating TV and Film libraries featuring the same artist into sub-catalog items which are then located in both the Television and Film catalogs under that artist's name. This improvement makes it easier to find that artist's work regardless of where you are on the site.

10/23/12 - Added five films to the Dramatic Films library.

10/20/12 - Added five films to the Dramatic Films library.

8/28/12 - Added two films to the Crime Drama (Film Noir) library and one episode to the Four Star Playhouse library. Also added seven films to the SciFi/Fantasy Film library. Of these last additions I have the feeling that some of them may not last long because they are all relatively recent movies (1981 and newer). However, some the most recent are actually official "YouTube Free Movies" and so I am confidendent that they will remain available. NOTE: A few in this catagory, in this and other libraries, provide an embed code - but when you click on the window it sends you to YouTube to watch the video. You can use your back button to return to the site after watching the video, if you wish.

8/27/12 - A few days ago a visitor to the site let me know that one the Drama Films in the library (The Animal Kingdom) had been taken off of YouTube. Fortunately, in that particular case, there was another copy of the film on Archive.org so I was able to substitute that copy. This caused me to go back over some of the recent postings and I found a few more YouTube videos that were broken, including an episode of One Step Beyond, and two from the You Bet Your Life library.

Please help me - if you come across any dead pages please let me know via email at: Earl@solie.org. Thanks!

8/25/12 - Added two feature films to the Bob Hope library. While doing so it occurred to me that it was time to separate Hope's Movie and Television appearances into two libraries. The link above will take you too a Bob Hope catalog page with thumbnail images linked to the separate TV and Film libraries. Then, after adding four films and a Blooper Reel to the Abbott & Costello catalog I also decided to split it into Television and Film libraries.

I should mention that I have begun in recent weeks to gather videos from many other sources (besides the Internet Archive) including: YouTube, Hulu, Google, MySpace, Lockerz, Blip.TV, LikeTelevision, Mixin, DailyMotion and eBaum's World. YouTube videos are designated with a (Y) symbol, Hulu with an (H), Google with a (G), Blip.TV with a (B), Mixin with an (MX), Lockerz with an (L), LikeTelevision with an (LT), MySpace with an (M), DailyMotion with a (D) and eBaum's World with (eB).

8/9/12 - Well, unfortunately, I have just found out that "The Gunsmoke Channel" on YouTube has been shut down for multiple content violations. That basically cancels out most of the work I have been doing over the last two weeks. I had built pages for 270 episodes, plus 10 library pages and the two index pages. All for naught... I am actually concerned that my activities may have led to the shutdown, I drew attention to the channel - although I am sure that the this would have happened eventually...I have some personal experience with having one of my own YouTube channels shut down a couple of years ago - my own content violations were nowhere near as extensive as those involved in this instance. I have eliminated all previous references Gunsmoke in order to avoid confusion.

NOTE: This does not completely gut the Gunsmoke library - there are a few episodes available from a different YouTube channels. I do suggest that they be watched as soon as possible, fearing that they could disappear at any time.

8/6/12 - Created a new Shower of Stars library with three episodes in it under the Musical Programs catalog and added episodes of The Thin Man, Bat Girl and The Woman Hunter to the Crime Drama Specials library.

8/4/12 - Added three matches to the Roller Derby library.

8/1/12 - After beginning to dispair about finding any useful Pro-Sports footage - I received a tip from UECTV fan, Michael Bayus, regarding boxing videos on YouTube.

There are many more out there so stay tuned. Also added eighteen episodes to the Twilight Zone library (original series).

7/30/12 - Created a new The Twilight Zone (1985-89) library with twenty-seven episodes in it, in the SciFi, Fantasy and Horror catalog. This is the first of two revivals of the classic series, produced by CBS beginning in 1985. There will be many more to come...

I decided to build this Sports catalog because I really wanted to post the Roller Derby games, but I was disappointed to discover that professional sports programming is very hard to come by in the Public Domain. I will continue to search for other videos to add to this catalog.

7/26/12 - Added three episodes to the The Goldbergs library. Also created a new The Adventures of Jim Bowie library with two episodes in it.

So I am loading this temporary Commercials library with 14 items in it, which will feature mostly black & white consumer product commercial from 1950s-60 TV. Many of these items are compilations.

4/24/12 - This evening I finished adding the Full Screen functionality to all of the remaining player pages. Whew! I'm glad that's done! You may still come across some of the old style players here and there. There were some instances where the collector decided to load more than one episode of a show to a common Archive Item. With the new embedded player - those multiple files would all play one after the other in a playlist. In order to present them as separate programs - each with their own player page - I found it necessary to keep them all in the old style embed code, which is based on the individual video file names, as opposed to the new embed code which is based on the common Item Identifier. In some instances, such as a couple of multi-part theatrical serials - Jungle Jim and The Phantom - the separate chapters for each item are presented in this manner.

4/21/12 - Added episodes of A Show Called Fred, Duffy's Tavern, The Garry Moore Show, and Dennis the Menace to the Comedy Specials library. Also created a new Mr. Ed library with two episodes in it under the Funny Guys! catalog.

4/17/12 - Added one episode each to the Burns and Allen, and Flash Gordon libraries, and one 1934 film to the Bob Hope library.

4/16/12 - I am sure that many of you have noticed that the new version of the embedded player does not yet have Full Screen functionality. There is a "Fullscreen" button, but if you click on it, nothing happens. I have been assured that down the road, as browser technology changes, the button will become functional. In the meantime, I am working to restore the Full Screen function using somewhat of a "back door" method.

I am placing a link just below the video window on each player page that reads "Click here for fullscreen. Use your Back button to return to this page." Clicking the link takes you to the address of the embedded video file on the Archive.org server, where the video then displays at it's "true" size, which is considerably larger than the embed on my player page. If you move your cursor over video window, the control bar will appear near the bottom of the window. The Fullscreen button is at the right end of the bar - on some browsers clicking it will display the video in Full Screen mode. To return to the player window, click on the browser "Back" button, or simply hit the "Backspace" key on your keyboard.

4/15/12 - Added one episode each to the Jack Benny Program, the Jimmy Durante and the Lucy Show libraries. Also added an episode of Twenty Questions to the Game Show Specials library and an episode of March Of Time to the Reality Specials library

4/9/12 - For those of you who have been following the trials and tribulations surrounding the Uncle Earl TV site, I want to let everyone know that the site is now about 75% upgraded to the iframe style embed codes and should be complete in a week or so. In the meantime, all of the player pages are currently working so don't let any of this stop you from enjoying the site.

iframe is the YouTube standard so this assures that the site will continue to function into the future.

The iframe uses a server based player application so the outboard coding is very simple (one line, actually) and it is generalized so that in the future, as the browser technology changes, these player pages will continue to function as video streams. As long as the Internet Archive exists - this site will be here to make some sense of it...

As soon as I finish this project, I will be able to get back to adding videos to the site.

3/26/12 - Good news, everything on the Uncle Earl site started working again today. I was just getting set to embark on yet another full site update when I noticed a video working that wasn't working yesterday. I have gone through the site extensively and have yet to find a non-functioning page. I did contact the Internet Archive late last week and alerted them to the problems they were causing - the squeaky wheel effect, apparently :-)

I am going to continue with the update, but do it off line and save the files separately. That way I can restore the site in a matter of minutes if and when the time comes.

1/24/12 - Today I conducted a comprehensive study to determine exactly how many streaming video pages there are on this site. The number I came up with is 3522 as of today. This just counts the actual player pages - discarding all of the image files, and library pages.

When I first began collecting programs to download, in late 2009, I first went out and started collecting bookmarks for the individual programs and storing them in library folders. This is pretty much mindless work - just grabbing whatever comes to hand - sorting it out later. In time, I started building individual program library folders. I did this for months and amassed a formidable number of bookmarks - several thousand - at that point I had not yet conceived of this site.

When I realized the potential for this site as an on-line video display collection, I started building pages from my bookmarks. So for the past two years I have been steadily building the site, using this mass of bookmarks... and now I have almost come to the end of them. Of course, I am still collecting new programs, but at a much slower pace - basically as fast as colectors upload the stuff - which is sporadic at best - so it is inevitable that this library's progress will slow down considerably.

If you pay attention too this Update Page, you will have noticed that lately I have been adding more to the various Feature Films libraries, then to the television libraries. This will continue for a while as I catch up from having neglected these libraries in favor of the more fascinating TV programs:-) I have a few bookmarked Feature Films yet to catalog, and have not yet fully explored that genre on the Internet Archive.

I plan to continue the Update Page and monthly Newletter listings, they will just become somewhat more sparce going forward.

Stay Tuned.

Notes on my methods:

My method is to search the Archive.org site for programs to bookmark. I have a bookmark folder for each library. I go back later and post the videos in batches. For those who may be interested, I created this site originally as a way to catalog programs for download for use on the Public Access Television Station where I work in Fort Bragg, CA, Mendocino Coast Television (MCTV). Public Domain television shows and movies are legal to broadcast and they are free. I found Archive.org rather cumbersome to navigate, so I started building this site with just links to the individual pages on Archive.org. It immediately occurred to me that with just a tiny bit more effort, I could also build a player page and actually display the programs for the public to enjoy. The logical next step was to change the purpose of the site (although I do still use it for the original purpose), to a free video repository
