Vid comment:

So this officially hits the top of my list as the most fun I've had making a vid. This presented a number of new challenges which I relished.

This vid really does show my age! Though not all TV shows are as ancient as me, so there's (hopefully) something for everyone. I've been wanting to do this for a while (ever since "Supernatural 5-0" and "Supernatural Dukes") and I took my time over this (for a change).

Special thanks to the lovely deirdre_c for her encouraging words and to my wonderful beta _sharvie_ whose eye for detail never ceases to amaze me (and keep me on my toes!). These gals helped give it the spit and polish it needed.

No money made, but comments gratefully accepted.

Wow! This is such a cool video! I love the way you did this and I think it's genius! The whole dean and sam watching TV and all the tv themes going on was done really nicely. Well done! I really enjoyed this!

I was officially in stitches after "So you think you can dance" and only got progressively more giggly from there. You fucking rock!! You rock so loud I gotta swear about it, that's how much you rock!!!

Downloading!! So totally downloading!! Wheee!

Also, how the heck did you manip the TVs so perfectly, because I just cannot get it to look right in my vid? *puppy eyes*

(Oh and I'm pimping today. Please join and post at The Roadhouse. *grin*)

Oh my god, this is so awesome I HAVE NO WORDS. ♥

I have been wanting to see an SPN vid set to the Odd Couple theme for a few seasons now. All the rest was amazing too, and made me laugh so much. (There was only one theme I couldn't ID -- the gritty cop-show theme, what was that?)

Terrific work. *goes off to rewatch*

This was awesome--especially since I just finished watching all four seasons of Starsky and Hutch. I'm going to get meta here for a second, but I love how it does what vids do best--recontextualize. In this case, it shows the blend of genres, and possible influences, in Supernatural by using the visual style and theme music of a bunch of different shows--and relying on the audience to pick up on those cues just from the theme music. In other words, what vidding is meant to be.

(Can I also say, putting in a stripper moment and a black police captain in the Starsky and Hutch section? Kind of awesome.)

Oh, that's awesome, especially the Odd Couple bit, because I've wanted someone to do that for ages. Also the Mission Impossible one. Hee!

This was a ton of fun. I really enjoyed it. The editing is so clean. Really great job.

This vid made me clap like a demented seal. *g* I loved it - so clever, and your clip choice for each of those shows was hilariously perfect. Thank you for the best laugh I've had in ages and ages - this is marvelous. :D

starrylizard recced this, and I loved it!!!

I loved the frame thread of Dean switching channels to move through the various themes, and how each theme showed something different about the boys. Very cool vid.

Okay, got over here on starrylizard's rec and I'm so glad because this is brilliant! Was jumping up and down at the themes/shows I recognised (particularly Buffy and Friends - those two were fabulous) and now will have to watch again having seen the list at the end (The Odd Couple - of course!) Excellent, excellent. Has made me happy.

[barkley.livejournal.com]

This was so much fun!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

You are BRILLIANT!! I loved this vid - so beautifully done. And you included Starsky & Hutch, which makes me love you forever!!!

Great job, hon. It's so refreshing to see a Supernatural vid that makes me smile instead of burst into tears. :-)

[mkitty3.livejournal.com]

This was totally brilliant!

[girlmostlikely.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, honey!! I've watched this vid NINE TIMES already, and I just love it so, SO MUCH. It's absolutely brilliant crack!! *loves*

[2sexyboys.livejournal.com]

Is it sad I knew all those themes before you listed them? LOL
This was so well done and absolutely brilliant and I shall perch here and wait for a part two, cause we are so going to need to smile soon. Brilliant

[riveroceansea.livejournal.com]

Sam watching 'The Love Boat'! Yeah, that's almost as awkward as porn. And 'Simon and Simon'--I loved that show. Gerald McRainey's legs are almost as long as Jared's.

Loved it!

THIS IS SO TOTALLY AWESOME!!!1

Here from a rec by angstslashhope.

I'm a totally ignorant vid watcher, but this was awesome! I especially like the Buffy montage and the jolliness of Friends, with all the Special Kids.

[missyjack.livejournal.com]

OMG - its like you took my TV viewing history and made it into this BRILLIANT CRACKED OUT WONDERFUL PIECE OF ART! Awesome in every way!

[shadow-of-doubt.livejournal.com]

This is such a great video! The scenes you chose were perfect and you put them together flawlessly. I'm in awe of your talent! I've rec'd your video on my LJ.

[vickita.livejournal.com]

OMG, that's *brilliant*. ::goes to watch again::

[smilla02.livejournal.com]

dotific yesterday and tvm today recced your video and I have squeed with them and only now realized that I never told YOU how much I've loved it.
I started grinning like a loon at the Starsky & Hutch theme and couldn't stop. Well done you!

[taniapretender.livejournal.com]

ah ah ah ah
BEST VID EVER !!!

I LOVED the Mission Impossible one, but I thought the ER should have been Chicago Hope instead - less action, more emo -

anyway, AWESOME

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

This was a total delight! Very skillfully done and the shows you picked - OMG! The General Hospital sections made me giggle (I so didn't watch that show, I promise). Nice. Downloaded!
