Made a couple of changes...

You'll now find the page links at the top of the page for quicker access.

I'll be adding a Weekly TV Classic. Each Saturday I'll post about a show from the past that I once loved. This will be listed in my "recent updates" found at the top of the side panel. I'll try and keep it to shows that are available for purchase (or download).

I've just added a song player to the very top of the screen. Look way up. I plan to have each night's tv themes queued up in a playlist. You should be able to decide if they play or not. Please let me know if it doesn't work.

And you may have noticed this little lady under "RG's Views" . She's my version of a five star review. The more of her you see, the better I think the show is. Anything more than 3 is well worth a watch. But I haven't had a chance to add her to all the old shows yet. 


Let me know if these are good changes or not. And is there anything else you'd like to see?

YAY! for passing 200,000 views! Not bad for having been inactive for so long. ;)

I'm Back!

Hey all you tv watchers out there.

I hadn't realized just how long it had been since I had been here. Not just months but years. SO many shows have ended and so many more have begun. Hidden treasures to discover and lost gems to remember. I hope you'll join me again in finding them all.

So sadly I am still not uploading links. But for those of you clever enough to discover them, I have listed some of my sources to great downloads and streams. If  prodded I may even be persuaded to share some temporary links in the comments section when the shows come out. I have chosen to leave the soundtracks up just so we have a reference to what is available out there, but I won't be providing any music. It draws to much attention.

Meanwhile, I will do my damnedest to catch up in time for mid-season to start and have all those juicy promos and tidbits ready for us all to drool over.

I want to hear from you! Tell me what you're watching! What sort of thing would you like to see here? 

change and still more change

So I figured since I am already making changes it must be time for  a new layout.  Hope you'll like the gothic red and black.

Also I've added a couple of new gadgets. To the right under Recent Updates, you will see Recent Comments. Now we can keep up with any conversations or thoughts that I hope will occur in the show topics. I've also added a  blog stats, to keep track of posts number and comments. Help it climb! And way at the bottom of the page I've added a page turner. So now you can skip to your page of choice instead of scrolling one at a time.


I've made changes to Monday nights current shows. And it's taking longer than I thought to get it all the way I want., so bare with me. Gonna try and get them done before they air. You'll now find that I'm adding a show trailer and theme song link to the info. At least when I can find it I will. (Maybe later I'll attempt to add them to youtube myself if they are missing, but youtube loves to block my content so I make no promises about that.)

Next we have RG's Views. For now they are all pretty brief. Just a few thoughts on the show in general. I imagine Gypsy will join in with her own thoughts when she gets a chance.  Next we'll have an airdate, promo (when available) and summary of the upcoming episode or season.  Starting next week, once the episode has aired I'll move that info up to previously. So you can always see the last episode and the next.

Once we've watched the episodes, we'd love to chat about them, so leave your comments and we'll have ourselves a gab. Spoiler haters beware.  Oh and I am also removing all the old comments regarding links. No need of them and don't want new readers getting any ideas. But my thanks to all of you who posted over the years.

I'm still undecided about what to do about the soundtracks... obviously there won't be links anymore. Is it still useful to have the track up as reference? We'll only be adding what's in our own collections. Which means if we found it you can too ;)  Would you like an amazon link added? Our thoughts on the music? you tell us.

So what do you all think. sound good? look ok? anything you think that needs changing or adding?

Change is a coming

Ok so I've been thinking about this all week and I've come to a decision. I'm retiring from uploading. The reality is I just can't bare to start from scratch. Especially with the still very real chance of something like this happening again.

As much as I've loved sharing my collection with everyone, the truth is it was starting to feel like an obligation instead of a hobby. So maybe this was a blessing in disguise.

Now as much work as I've put into this blog, I can't quite see it go completely away, so it's gonna be re-purposed. I'm gonna keep all the show listings active but instead of links we'll have a bit of a review/discussion site. I'll talk about what I like and don't like about the old shows. I'll try to do weekly reviews of all the current episodes. And the pages will still be updated to keep track of air dates and cancellations etc.  And of course my chat is still here as well. I really want to hear from everyone. So I hope you'll all join in, or at least pop by and see what hidden treasures I'm talking about and what new shows are hopping or flopping.

Those wanting links should check out NooR7 and the friends blogs.

I sincerely thank you all for being so loyal to me all these years and for those that just joined me, I thank you as well. It's been a pleasure.

Stay tuned for site changes starting next week. :)

Megaupload Has Been shut down

Yes apparently megaupload has been seized by the feds. And there entire service has been shut down. Details can be found here:
 http://forums.noor7.us/showthread.php/33253-MU-shut-down-by-feds?p=177609#post177609


Which means that none of the links on my blog work anymore. I don't even have the words to express what I'm feeling right now. This blog is the accumulation of 5 years work on my part. The thought of starting over from scratch is just a little too overwhelming to contemplate.

I really don't know whether or not I will return to uploading as my upload speed is so slow that I really don't know if finding another filehost is even worth it. I will have to do some thinking. For now, the blog will remain up in as reference in case I do get back to it and can start replacing links.

I'm very sorry everyone. In the meantime, I suggest you try visiting NooR7 where you will find alternate filehosts.

Happy Birthday NooR7!

Just when I was all caught up...

....my MU premium runs out. Which means I have to go back to the much slower download/upload way. And I can't import my files as back-ups. At least until megaupload sorts out it's reward program.

Unfortunately my computer is filled to the brim with files at the moment. So I'm working on getting that cleaned up so that I have some room to work.

I'll get back to uploading as soon as I can. Sorry again for the delay. You guys are great for sticking with me.

Dead Links

I just spent all weekend replacing dead links on this blog. Only to find that most of them are already dead. 

Most of these are Universal shows and it seems that they have found the blog and are watching the posts that interest them.

So... I'm sorry but I just can't keep up with whole shows that go down daily. I'll leave the topics up and I will still have active links available, but they will no longer be posted here. If you are looking for these episodes for your own use you will have to message me privately.  You can do so on my facebook page or at noor:
http://forums.noor7.us/member.php/25-RickiesGal

I will however keep updating the blog with those shows that are not being targeted, as long as that remains the case.

Hey everybody!

First! the changes to megaupload are causing me some problems. My files are taking forever to upload. Right now I have Hellcats going up and it says it will be a total 3 hrs. And I only just managed to finish downloading all of Monday & Tuesday's shows, so I'll try to get those up too.


Now I know you've probably been wondering what's up with me. Why have I been so lax in keeping  my shows up to date? Well the truth is I have been going through a bit of work strife the last few weeks and frankly it's put me in a bad mood. And I haven't really felt like doing much of anything.

Starting this Friday my work schedule changes. I will be gone almost every evening. That means I won't be home until after the shows are released. But hopefully I will have time to do some updating at night before I have to head to bed.  It may turn out to mean less wait time for you then before or it may mean that I will only be updating on my few nights off. I'll just have to see.

I'm not sure how my sleep patterns will be effected by this change, so I hope you'll all continue to bare with me. I promise to try and find a routine that works with the less possible wait time for you, while still allowing me to get some sleep and have some semblance of a life. lol

Thanks to everyone who has stuck around without complaint. Your kind comments really do brighten up my day.

Hey everyone!

I know I am being a very bad poster these last couple of weeks. I just have a full plate at the moment.  I promise I will do my best to get back on track as soon as time allows.

Meanwhile if you can't wait for an upload try one of my buddy blogs or NOOR7.

Noor7-Us  is back online. Still a couple of kinks to work out but we are functional!

  Over 25000 hits!!!

new blog

Hey folks.

I just wanted to let everyone know, I've started a new blog where you can see my fanvids. I have a youtube channel, but most of my vids are blocked there. So hopefully by uploading straight to blogger some of them can be seen. (download links also included for those that want them)

Vidding is how I began doing what I'm doing here now. I was looking for source material which eventually lead me to the forums.  After awhile, I decided to help other collectors out there find what they needed, whether it was for vidding themselves or just watching.

In case anyone is wondering what I mean by vidding well,  you'll just have to visit the new blog for a sample. But in short, it's the art of compiling clips and/or pics to music and creating a new story.

It takes a lot of time and can be very creatively fulfilling. But like most things of that nature, it craves an audience. So while I enjoy making them for myself, I find my muse needs a bit of adulation to keep her going.

So if you've ever wanted to thank me for that show you really wanted to find, here's your chance. Please check in periodically as I gradually get my vids posted. And remember that feedback is love.

hey,

I am adding new tags to my blog labels. Just gonna add the basic genre, so anyone who is in a particular mood can suss out what they want.

So anyway, I have started by adding sitcoms, and will do drama & dramedy.

But here is where I am faltering a bit. When it comes to fantasy/psy-fi stuff,  I was just gonna go with paranormal. Thinking that that covers all of it. 

But do you think I am right to simplify it that much? Here are a few different examples of the shows I have (or plan to) so that you can see what I would be lumping together:

• science fiction stuff like Star Trek, Defying Gravity, Seaquest, Dollhouse..etc 
• fantasy like Beauty And The Beast, Dead Like Me, Joan Of Arcadia, Lois and Clark..etc
• Supernatural like Buffy, Eastwick, Charmed, Supernatural...etc

My main query here is the first one. Does it make sense to call shows like that paranormal? A lot of them have some sort of fantasy element to them, aliens or super powered humans.  But is that enough to classify them as paranormal? Should I make a separate label? And if so what?

Any other genre labels you think I should include in general? Adventure? Futuristic?


I'd like to hear the perspective of those who actually use the blog so any thoughts are appreciated.

New Template

Working on a new template here. Still tinkering... Anything need changing? Colours, fonts, placements?

Please let me know what you think.



update: thanks to my wonderful friend VVW, I got my counter back up the way it should be!

Posting error report

Letting you know that I just realized I goofed up on "Who's the Boss?" I had some of the s3 episodes labelled at s4. Which is what was causing me trouble in finding the links; I kept re-upping the same files like a moron..

Anyway, it's been fixed now and S3 is complete. Working on uploading more s4.

Also I see the most of the series MV links haven't converted. I'm gonna try to upload them again and see if it helps. That might take awhile though.

My internet is acting the fool and won't let me log on for more than  a few minutes at a time. So I won't be around til Monday. I hope it's fixed by then or I shall cry. :(

You guys are great! Thanks for visiting me here. Makes me feel really good to see the count rise each day.

You'll notice I took the word "the" out of the beginning of my labels. That will just make finding shows in the list a bit simpler I think.
