Hey gang, if you remember my blog entry for October 2, you may have remembered that I would like DVDs of shows that aired on the DuMont Network. Well, today in the mail came one of those weird-ass catalog of old TV shows and movies I subscribed to when I bought something from them. I then bought a couple silent movies. I was looking through the TV section and imagine my surprise to see a DVD of 4 Captain Video episodes! Too bad there's only four of them, and I wonder why shipping was so expensive, but I'm going to buy it, a Capt. Video DVD. I saw a complete episode on YouTube, but I would actually like to sit down somewhere that isn't my computer and watch Captain Video. Now I soon will be able to. For those who don't know about the DuMont Network, it was a low-budget TV network, like Fox or something, only it was in the '50s, There is a website someone started about it here (actually, it's not one of my websites this time!) I just have found the history of this TV network fascinating. (I'm weird that way.) Hopefully there will not be a bug that says the outfit of the company that made the DVD on plastered on it (like the Lone Ranger episodes I got. Really tacky-looking! Do I have to know who put the DVD out WHILE I'M WATCHING THE OLD SHOW? NO!) Also, there is supposedly an outdoor cat wandering around along here. It killed a bird near our birdbath. I had to dispose of it out in the back park. It was real disgusting. I don't know why cats have to kill birds and then leave their rotting corpses laying around. If you're not going to eat the bird, then why kill it in the first place, dumb cat? My cat is an indoor kitty. I am considerate of others who don't like dead bird corpses on their patios. Just makes me mad.
