Hour Glass

So I was going through my computer and found something interesting. I had attempted a "revival" of the TV show called "Hour Glass." Why? I don't know. I first found it while looking through my gigantic book of the history of TV (over 1,700 pages!) I guess just for my own amusement to see if I could do it. I don't know if I should make it black and white or in color.

I tried to make it in the style of early TV. But it's in color. But forget that for now, I still have to make 58 more minutes' worth. All I have so far is a dance routine from Ken Doll. Barbie will come on later to sing a song. And then I'll have a four minute long commercial on tea. I think I'll refilm the intro since I'm in it. If I put this film on YouTube, I'm too ugly to be on the internet, so it will have to be another Ken doll. I guess you think I'm crazy for playing with barbie dolls when I'm a forty year old guy and I also record it. Well...you're right!

 

I decided to change a bit of things though besides color. The original show ran on NBC. I decided to put this on the DuMont Network. I guess NBC could still come after me. I wonder if they'd care. I wonder if they'd know. In 1987, my parents recorded an NBC 60th anniversary special. NBC apparently lost a lot of stuff. Not only "Hour Glass," but the first episode of "the Tonight Show!" All they aired was an audio clip.

 

I guess you're wondering why I like old timey stuff. I think it came a lot from my grandparents, my mom's parents. They went to flea markets a lot (something I liked to do before the pandemic) and got strange stuff. In my room is a picture of a giant chicken printed on wood. When grandpa died in 2008, we moved into their condo. Hard to believe that was 15 years ago!

 

This after I got so angry at my failing of Wario Land playing even though I was cheating. I threw the game angrily into the bin. Then I wondered if it still worked. So I put it back in and it still worked...but all the game saves were gone! So I played a little bit to see if it still saved games. It does. Well then I wonder why it erased my game file if it still is able to save. I don't think I'll play it again unless I find some Game Genie codes to make myself invincible.
