I Love Youtube

Here is why YouTube is great. I'm on the phone with my brother discussing boat ramps and we wonder how they build them.

BOOM!

Spencer Pratt has you beat

OMG, so gay*
I just threw up in my mouth! 🤢🤮

good grief, Nats vs Mets tomorrow is only on youtube!

Not going to watch it on a computer, for one thing I always record them even if I watch them 'nearly' live on just a short delay. I could still watch it on TV if I wanted to go through some hoops [not sure about cost] and record that ... but not jumping through them.

I don't know about that game, but usually if it's a live stream, you can watch it from the beginning anytime after its started. And stop and start as you wish.

I think transmitting from your computer to TV is just a chord connection. Probably $25 at Best Buy. (I may be wrong on that though)

Dish TV, which we have, has a youtube channel along with other channels that you have to have your TV hooked up to the internet in order to use ... there may not be a subscription cost for youtube, but there is for Pandora, for example.

We had the TV hooked up to the internet at one point. I felt it was possible we were getting hacked. One event in particular had me wondering, one day we woke up to find all of our saved recordings for the Dish DVR had been permanently deleted. They sent us a new box to make sure it wasn't the problem in itself and I just have declined to hook back up to the internet. So I'm not watching youtube on it!

There are lot of devices in the home that hook up to the internet now, most seem silly to me, like the refrigerators that do. Articles that I have seen claim they are easily and commonly hacked. They can make these devices do nefarious stuff.

The Dish TV DVR system saves the programs you record on "the box". If you are hooked up to the internet, you do not get the service of having those programs saved "in the cloud". If that were to change I might go back to it.

Fascinating video. I haven't seen all of
it, but I'm sure they left out what a
pain the ass some of 'little people'
were on set. They were drunk half
the time, grabbing Judy's ass and
making off color remarks.

The WoO was a huge deal in the
50's. It was shown on TV once a
year around Tgiving. We always
watched it as a family and witch
scared us to death. I had nightmares
about her.

I never saw it in color till 1970 when
I bought a color TV. It blew me
away. I still remember my reaction
when Dorothy opend the door and
the world is in Technicolor.

When I was a kid it was on a few weeks before Easter. Once or twice in Catholic school they tied Lent to the Yellow Brick Road as instruction to us. I remember IIRC sometime in the 1990s CBS promos that it would be the last year for the annual broadcast, I guess they had a 50 year contract not renewed.

Thing is, I never really cared for it the way so many people seem to. It became a kids movie if not released that way. Maybe I have seen it so many years, though even as a kid I did not look forward to it, it was just on.

TRIVIA: The guards chant "All we owe, we owe her!" I did not know this until a talk show host said it, and he mentioned you could never make it out. I even put the CC on when that was a new thing and the subtitles just said "guards chant."

Does anyone else wonder about the witch using poppies (percursor to heroin and opium) to put them to sleep outside OZ?

As a kid, I remember wondering where these poppies might be. I think I even thought it might be possible to fall asleep walking into a field of too many flowers for awhile.

That's because you were a kid in the
70's. In the 50's it was a huge deal
because we weren't yet jaded by
what TV was to become, and by
the 70's nothing on TV was a big
deal anymore.
