SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (1980) “Chevy Chase/Marianne Faithful” 40TH ANNIVERSARY. Chevy Chase makes his final hosting during the original cast era. Considering his last stint had him and Bill Murray making some offscreen hostility, his monologue has the two appear together in a duet. Universal DVD.
THE ROSE OF VERSAILLIES (1979-1980) ”Fersen Departs for the Homeland”, “Oscar, At the Duel at Dawn”, “The Winds of Arrass…Please Respond”, “The Secret of the Angel”, “Countess of Casino”, “Mother, Her Name is…”, “Now the Time of Encounter”, “Suddenly, Like Icarus.” 40TH ANNIVERSARY. An now I have caught up with the series, so I can now watch the rest week by week. So far, Marie Antoinette falls under the influence of the Duchess Poligniac while Oscar takes under her wing the poor Rosalie (who is actually noble and a score to settle with Poglianac) while realizing the horrible conditions of the French lower classes. Japanese with English Subtitles. Right Stuf DVD.
ER (1995) “Two of Hearts” 25TH ANNIVERSARY Warner DVD.
OSCAR’S GREATEST MOMENTS – 1971 -1991 (1991) Instead of watching the Oscars, I watched this, my annual viewing for the ceremonies. Karl Malden hosts a collection of the ceremonies from the times listed. We get the good (Sally Fields “You Like Me!”, William Holden thanking Barbara Stanwyck for his career) and the controversial (Vanessa Redgrave’s “Zionist Hoodlums”, Littlefeather’s ‘Brando refuses’ speech), as well as fashions, production numbers, tributes, bloopers (Dyan Cannon sings a song with a dead mike), last-minute changes (Clint Eastwood substituting for Charlton Heston). I always get misty-eyed at the climax, when Charles Chaplin appears for his honorary Oscar. Sony VHS.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1980) “Part Five” 40TH ANNIVERSARY I conclude my first P&P of this year. BBC/Warner DVD.
MOBILE FIGHTER G GUNDAM (1995) “Assault of the Four Evil Kings! Gundam Heaven’s Sword” 25TH ANNIVERSARY. Major revelations come out, as everything that was established (Evil brother Koji and the Devil Gundam) turns out to be lies via governmental cover-up. Japanese with English Subtitles. Bandai DVD.
ROCKY AND FRIENDS (1960) “Formula Part 25 & 26” 60TH ANNIVERSARY. I might as well refer to the series by its original title, instead of the edited one from the DVD. In this one, Mr. Peabody and Sherman help the Wright Brothers, her portrayed as hicks. Sony Wonder DVD.
DADDY LONG LEGS (1990) “How to Decorate a Room Beautifully” 30TH ANNIVERSARY. Japanese with English Subtitles.
YURI ON ICE! (2016) “Easy as Pirozhki! The Grand Prix Final of Tears!”, Two Yuris?! Drama at Yu-topia”, “”I Am Eros and Eros is Me? Face Off! Hot Springs on Ice”, “Like Yourself…and Complete the Free Program!!”, “Face Beet-Red! It’s the First Competition! The Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu Championship”, and “China’s On! The Grand Prix Series Opening Event!! The Cup of China Short Program”. English Dubbed. Funimation DVD.
HOLLYWOOD (1980) “Swanson and Valentino” 40TH ANNIVERSARY. Today’s episode is a two-parter on two stars. As James Mason narrates, One was born great (Swanson), the other had greatness thrust upon him (Valentino). Act One, with interviews by Gloria herself (with Adele St. John Rogers and Alan Dwan) captures the stars career, from reluctant comedienne to DeMille Glamour Queen to fatigued fashion clothes horse to respected actress to her fall from bad choices (QUEEN KELLY) climaxing with a scene from SUNSET BOULEVARD. Act Two carries the most of the episode on the career of Rudolph Valentino, with his struggling beginnings (Viola Dana helped out by having him play Santa Claus), rise to fame, struggle with the studios, and his death and legendary funeral. First saw this episode on The Learning Channel in November 1991 and was re-introduced to it on VHS in December 1996. Bootleg DVD.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN (2013) “Naruto Enters the Battle!” Viz Media DVD.
ONCE AND AGAIN (2000) “Daddy’s Girl” 20TH ANNIVERSARY. Buena Vista DVD.
DRAGON BALL Z (1990) “We’re Off into Space! The Star of Hope is Piccolo’s Homeland!” 30TH ANNIVERSARY. A post-addendum to my Anniversary viewing, as the gang gather together to plan their next move, starting the Freeza Arc. Japanese with English Subtitles. Funimation DVD.
ANGEL (1999) “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” 20TH ANNIVERSARY. FoxVideo DVD.
GANKUTUSOU: THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO (2005) “The Duel” 15TH ANNIVERSARY. Dramatic episode, as the Count has his duel promised by Andre, albeit with some major deviations from the novel (and it’s not the giant mechas!) I always liked the ending. Japanese with English subtitles. Geneon DVD.
IVANHOE (1970) “The Black Knight” 50TH ANNIVERSARY. SimplyMedia DVD.
