This was one of three plays cast, written, produced, and performed within 24 Hours. Auditions were held the evening of January 31st, 2025, at Olean Theatre Workshop in Olean, New York. The play was conceived and written between 8 PM and 7 AM. The first reading was held and rehearsals began at 7 AM. Curtain went up on the three plays starting at 7 PM.
"The Book of Murray" was written by Pab Sungenis, starred Ellie Lothridge and Samuel Morgan, and was directed by Anna Eskenazy-Bush.
Long thought lost, most of two of the four episodes were recently recovered and I plan to share some of the less cringeworthy segments.
This one came from a concept by Gerard Manko, and was written by myself, Gerard, Jeffe Boats, Tony D'Aprix, Ron Motta, Dave LoTempio, and Dave Majeski.
Forgive the quality. The original live segments were shot on SVHS and went through two generations for editing, before however many generations took place as the tape was copied and passed on among our six fans.

This week it's Buck Henry's ill-fated Sci-Fi Spoof, "Quark," a show that had the misfortune to have its pilot shown three weeks before Star Wars came out, and not to go to series for almost 10 months after Star Wars came out.

They were my first sponsor and my last. I don't think the agency was pleased with my spot, and literally no one used my code.
I share it here as a curiosity. I blacked out the code since it doesn't work any longer. If you already watched my video for "Rachel Gunn, RN" you've already seen it.

I wrote the software that ran the message board for Cable Channel 2 in Vineland, NJ. It ran on an Atari 130XE in our control room. It ran whenever we didn't have other programming on.
This is a recreation run from the last backup I did of the message board before I left the company. It's from early in the day on Saturday, August 29th, 1992.
Fond memories of a simpler time in cable TV, and a number of businesses no longer with us. (And some that still are!)

This edit completely removes any material which, despite qualifying for fair use, could conceivably be claimed by Carson Entertainment. This is why I don't do more videos; I spend more time fighting bad faith copyright claims than I do actually making videos.
