Umm... about getting to watch Season 2... no.
Ok, here's the thing. I have 5 kids still living at home, one of whom I homeschool. So during the day, on a good day, I might get to watch one episode after he's done with school.
Once the rest of the crew is home, it's all the usual end-of-day stuff. After that, kids take over the only tv (but I hate sitting in front of a tv anyway). One kid takes over the family computer, so I can't watch WWW on that either. My oldest-at-home has her laptop, which she is usually using -- so no hardware available for Mom to use to watch WWW. *sad*
And on the weekends the kids are always wanting me to chauffeur (chauffeuse?) them allllllll over creation, so there's pressure on me not to sit and watch my shows then either.
However! Last night, I realized that oldest-at-home was watching tv and had turned off the laptop. So I was able to use that to watch two -- TWO!!! -- episodes: Flying Pie Plate & Poisonous Posey. So there's a little happy dance right there.
Let's see, so far I've watched all but the final 7 episodes of Season 1; still need to watch 15 episodes from Season 2, but there I've been skipping around more; and from Season 4 I still need to watch 4 episodes, mostly the Artie-less ones (I bought that set first).

Quite a rough daily schedule you got there!! Ha--But I'm sure it's all worth it. Great you have such a big family for most of your entertainment.  So that means you have plenty of WWW to still look forward to--you're only about half way through them all. From what you say--you still have 50 episodes to go before having seen them all. I forget--but have you seen every ep before?? Like in reruns on TV?? |

I *think* I saw them all when I was a kid. My rotten memory can't dredge most of 'em up though. There's only a handful that I can picture scenes or plots from seeing them so long ago. Golden Cobra I remembered bits from, and Man-Eating House *shiver* and Dr Loveless riding the clock pendulum, and shrinking James West, and faking his own death where Artie knew what the Dr's middle name was. And, yes, Big Blast. And tiny bits of Inferno (Artie asking for the boots 'cause Jim won't need them, and Nehemiah Pershoff's face yelling things). And Great Aunt Maude in general. And some girl recognizing Artie by his ears. The hunchback in Skulls. Victor Buono. Lord of Limbo. The funky tank.
Oh, and the one with Ed Begley Sr and the dancing girl lighting the torch on the statue of liberty thing. Wait -- wasn't that an anachronism? I'm thinking the torch hand alone was dedicated for the Centenniel, so the whole statue would be after Grant's presidency -- unless they were working from paper copies of the plans of Eiffel and, uh, Bertholde? over in France...
Gah! Overthinking again!

It was so great to watch the episodes and remember them, or to see them for the first time! There were only a handful that I hadn't seen before, if even that many, but now I've seen them all so many times that I don't remember which ones they were. I too remembered the one with Ed Begley (Infernal Machine) because it was one of my teenage fanfics that were ongoing in my head...with a girl for Arte in it  LOL! |

There were only two episodes that I had no memory of:
Human Trigger and Legion of Death
I was very excited to see them for the first time when I got my DVDs, but they have never become favorites of mine.

I watched the show originally when it first aired and had not seen it again until the DVDs came out. Either we weren't getting TNT here when it aired there, or I just didn't realize it was on, and no other station carried it. So when I watched the DVDs it was almost like seeing them for the first time. I had vague memories, but now, like you others, I don't even remember what those memories were. I've watched the episodes too many times.

I strongly suspect, but can't remember outright, that we (my brother and I) probably watched the show when it was first in syndication, and probably on Ted Turner's local station that eventually morphed into TBS. I know for sure we watched Star Trek on that station when it was first in syndication. And I'm sure I wrote that ridiculously bad fanfic of WWW (which has long since disappeared, what a relief!) when I was a teen, so I surely had seen WWW by then. I just doubt if I saw, or at least remember, it from first-run, since I would have been in single-digits back then.

Oh, yeah, like I can multitask that much and still have brain function!
Took over the laptop again last night and watched Two-Legged Buffalo and Bottomless Pit. Turns out I remembered that silly jingle everyone kept singing in Pit, as well as the watches playing the music. And hey! there was that watch fob again when Artie pulled his watch out!
As for Two-Legged Buffalo -- oy Artie in feathered cape, complaining of how cold he was -- poor fellow needed someone up under the cape with him, pooling body heat...

Bottomless Pit I remember because of the lady in the shop that was Arte's informant. She always reminded me of Buffy's doll, Mrs. Beasley when I was a kid. Goofy I know, but it was like she was Mrs. Beasley come to life!  |

And the dance continues! Season 3 arrived yesterday!
*dance dance dancity dance dance dance!*
Copied all discs to the hard drive so now I can watch 'em here on the computer while the discs sit safely in my bedroom.
Watched Artie being Portuguese in Samurai last night -- over and over and over...
(But when he turns and winks at Madame Moustache -- why was there something green in his ear???)

WHAT?! He has a gold earring, but I don't remember anything green... By the way, I downloaded that program, but it doesn't let me save my discs to the hard drive.  |

This is how I save my discs on my computer.
Put disc in drive. When it starts to autoplay, close the player.
Make a folder with the name of the disc on it. Open that folder. This is the destination folder.
Open the folder for the drive the disc is in -- for me, it is within the Computer folder.
Inside the disc drive folder should be folders marked Video and Audio (or perhaps only Video). Highlight to select all folders in the disc drive.
Drag those folders and drop them in the destination folder. Wait for them to copy
After they have copied, you ought to be able to run them using the new media player you have, but you might have to right-click to choose that player.

It's the opposite ear from the one with the earring. When he's leaving the bar and winks at Madame Moustache, look in his ear right then. There's definitely something green in his ear. Not in the lobe but in the ear canal, where for example a hearing aid would be. I didn't notice it in the rest of the scene, but I sure saw it then.

There's a green light or something behind him. Or when he turns profile with the cigar in his mouth, something is reflecting in his ear. Natural oil I suspect. Here you go: |

Guess I'll just have to go through Samurai and watch all the Portuguese scenes *again* (oh the torture!) to see if that green thing pops up any other time.
So far, that's the best flirting scene I've seen Artie do. What a nincompoop that Moustache woman was not to take advantage of swarthy, curly, twinkly, winky, tiddly, and all-puckered-up Artie!
*shoves Madame Moustache out of the way to accept the invitation*
Oh, you edited and added the pic while I was typing the above. oy! *klunk* (on the floor again)

I don't know. When I saved copies of the disc to my computer, Windows Media Player wouldn't play them. Weird. Technology astounds me. I am trying to get them to save to my daughter's mP4 player, but she doesn't have enough room for the whole disc, but I can't tell what each part is to save individually. So I want to try to save them to Wade's mP4 player that is empty, but my computer won't recognize it.  |

Ah -- finished watching 1st season just now.
I'm making up a 'master list' of all the episodes. Copied the info from imdb of the episode synopses with cast lists, to which I am adding Artie's disguises, Great Aunt Maude quotes, and anything else that strikes me. Such as the 'Bored!' speech from Firebrand.
'Cause I'm a nit-picky, list-making, born-to-be-a-file-clerk type, that's why.
