The Frugal Gourmet  (#F!awt3wTjS!nQsYgdo_u-Yh0vLA-ohcIA)

The Frugal Gourmet was a classic cooking show that first aired in the late 70s on WTTW in Chicago. Later, re-airing nationally on PBS from 1983 to 1997.

There are no DVDs of this show in existence. Old VHS recordings were uploaded to Youtube a while back ago, but Google Inc. shut it all down. Fortunately for us, I have it all backed up.

All the episodes will be mirrored below in timely fashion, many of them come in two parts. A few special holiday episodes come in three or four parts.

Expect around 4 to 5 episodes mirrored per day until uploading is finished. (This show is also currently being shared via the P2P client Soulseek!)

Whoever posted this thank you very much! I created my own DVD collection with all the episodes posted here. I remember watching this show when I was younger and for a cooking show Jeff Smith made it both informative and fun to watch. We need more shows like this today.

Do not worry. It will be uploaded elsewhere in due time. I will make sure of it.

Currently you can access most of these episodes @ the mega.nz hash link (#F!awt3wTjS!nQsYgdo_u-Yh0vLA-ohcIA) & can find them being shared via Soulseek.

One of the big red flags when listening to criticism is when they could just as well apply to a book. Things like plot holes, they are very superficial observations about narrative and mostly concern people who don't really even care whether what they're looking at is a movie or book, they only care about pandering to their own little narratives. Commercialism. If a good movie has a(n actual) plot hole it's a shame, but only for reasons external to the movie itself. And mostly it's dependent on the viewer's bias, they just claim the plot holes start where their own prior knowledge of how the world is ends. If a person was so uncultured he didn't know anybody who has a father, and a movie featured an intact family, that person would call it a plot hole that's there just some guy hanging out at some mother's house. It's a shame that this movie can't reach somebody that dense, and a better movie would reach anybody by some cinematic magic, but it's not a flaw in the movie and what it set out to portray. It would be like complaining the finest pearl doesn't also make coffee.
Hard to say, I can name a few must haves:

Pi
The Shining  1980
Night of the Living Dead (the original 60s version)
Carnival of Souls (the original 60s version)
Deliverance  1972
Bad Boys  1983
The Boys Next Door
Two-lane Blacktop
Easy Rider  1969
Beetlejuice  1988
Requiem For The Dream
Pink Flamingos (warning: not family friendly)

Bro, the entire movie is about the significance of the main character's last words and flashbacks throughout the film of his life. His last word, Rosebud at the end turned out to be a sled he had as a child. Showing that, although he was rich, had all the material possessions in the world, influence, trophy wife, he wanted that happiness a child had in a simple toy. I did like the movie but when it's a plot hole that is important to the entire plot, and theme of the movie it's a bigger deal than normal imo. The entire movie is in fact bookended by his last words in the beginning and the revelation of their significance at the end. But no one was there to hear them unless you're just assuming his butler is there. Not a huge deal but it is rarely brought up even in a trivial light when critics discuss it. 
I would think you'd see it brought up more as trivial footnote at least. 
> Tour de force acting of Orson Welles, revolutionary lighting and cinematic pacing etc. Key plot point is nonsensical, but you probably won't notice your first time through.

Yes! Some other oldies but goodies:

Rivers Edge (1987) [not family friendly]
Blue Velvet (1986) [not family friendly]
Maximum Overdrive (1986)
The Crazies (the original 1973 film)
Slingblade (1996)
Bad Boy Bubby (1994) [not family friendly]
Night of the Comet (1984)
Trading Places (1983)
The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (1974)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

And one newer film I recall...

Nebraska (one of the very few new films I like, 2013)

Other then that I'd say 9 out of 10 new films suck ass. I'm sure there are a few exceptions. Some of the best films (in my humble opinion) came out during the mid 1960s all through the early 90s). Films started to suck after they relied heavily on special effects. I like films with good narratives, provocative scripts and unique characters that make you lean back and say "WTF? This is crazy!"

Do hollywood actors generally just not have drama degrees? This video is made by a complete moron as well, but it stikes me on many occasions the people actually performing in films don't have the kind of formal knowledge in social study that would make articulating their craft so much easier and more interesting.

Why is anyone even answering these mary sue "accusations" seriously? I put in quotes because really, it doesn't even matter, but the thing is, what Rey is is a shit character, but not a mary sue. She's in no way an indulgent character, she's an underdeveloped character which is in some ways the opposite of a mary sue, although none the more elevated. But we get these fucking mouth breathers weighing in about "mary sue" because it's the most accusatory sounding term they can find in a dictionary despite not having a clue what they're talking about. I'm personally offended that this kind of shitshow will even exist when on the other hand I have to hear that social science is worthless. If it's that trivial then shut up or at least don't fucking suck at it, jesus christ, this is why we create tools.

It's like watching lab coat wearing jocks piss on a petridish while claiming that chemistry is not a 'real' science. On the basis that real scientists do nothing but piss on petridishes.

I wish Rey becomes Margaret Thatcher and leads Kylo Ren as the Grand Dragon of the Alt-Right side of the force by Episode 10.

And Mara Jade becomes canon



Dude if your going to post something on /tv/ please rip something in full and just upload it to the damn board. Don't be dishing out random Youtube links to trailers which could be taken down any time Google pleases.

Okay, faggots, this is how you modernize a franchise:

So you can't make a somber story because you need the ADHD kid ratings. I get it. You have that constraint as your personal obstacle. What you do is, you allegorize it, and make it a component of the story you're writing. If you can't do real Peter Rabbit, maybe make it about a Peter Rabbit Jr., and include Peter Senior as a side character. Draw from your experience of having to balance the expectations and reality and tell your own story about a younger, unruly rabbit, who is coming to terms with meeting the older halfway by learning to appreciate the old values. Hell, even make him not learn shit, but just flip the tables by carefully presenting the case that new generations can be more off-the-cuff and it's the old ones who are too strict, but justify it. You can have your little bitch Mr. McGregor as well, screaming to keep the kids entertained. Make the old one having died offscreen and him inheriting the house, and make the central conflict to be exactly that he's so much of a pushover that he allows the animals to mess things up. Create a conflict and then resolve it. That's storytelling, you damn hacks.

Noted. At the risk of hitting the wall of region locked content, I post official links when I find it appropriate, and at the risk of upload impermanence I post fully ripped videos when appropriate.

Funny, because I personally can't stand new movies because their story lines suck ass. I haven't been to a movie theater since my kids were teenagers! That's been over 12 years ago. I stick to the old time classics because at least they have good story lines. It makes sense that they get so obnoxious with films now days considering so many kids have ADHD and have the attention span of a monkey.

I am officially seeding this torrent (at least for now):

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7a799e1173ff57eeff42e1c2e282f68a232ecad2&dn=THE%20FRUGAL%20GOURMET%20%28JEFF%20SMITH%29

I will not be online all the time, so you'll have to remain patient (just like the downloaders have to remain patient when I'm sharing files over Soulseek). This show is a classic, but VERY HARD to find! Take the opportunity now if you want it!
Thank you!!! I was kicking myself for not finishing downloading these when they were on YouTube. I was certain they were gone forever!
Thanks so much for these. My Great Grandmother used to watch this when I was young, and often I would watch with her when visiting my grandparents house (she lived with them at the time). Brings back some good memories!

You are very welcome, very glad to have helped people find these rare episodes. All of the episodes I have backed up are being mirrored here too:  >>/175/  where you can watch (or download) the mp4 videos right from your own browser.

The rest of the collection will be uploaded soon.

Wally's Workshop was a DIY self-help show which was syndicated in 80 markets, running from 1971 to 1985.

The show featured Wally Bruner and his second wife Natalie working on home projects in a studio space.

The real key to the shows success and entertainment value, however, is in the couple's chemistry, and Wally's lack of coordination, which often leads Wally to drop tools, splatter paint and commit other follies and foibles that create a comic atmosphere.

Unfortunately this show was never released to DVD, and only a few VHS tapes of the more popular episodes exist. What is worse is that only THREE episodes can be found on the internet. Those three episodes have been backed up (on mp4 and webm formats) and will be posted below.

If anyone has any other recordings of this show, please convert them to digital format and post them below! Like the Frugal Gourmet episodes, this show is very very difficult to find.
