The past couple of weeks were rough ones for me. I wasn't feeling good, wasn't sleeping good (thx, that time of the month!) . So I vegged. Decided to get back to watching some of the TV shows on Tubi that I've been working on. Thankfully, Tubi recently acquired the full 3 season run of "Hardcastle and McCormick". Anyone remember that show? It ran from 1983-1986. This was honestly the first time I've been able to watch every episode. Way back in the day, I only managed to record a few episodes on Beta tape.
Anyway, I totally went down the rabbit hole with this show! I watched episodes on Tubi, I looked up fanfic, and I tried to find some of the old websites (not easy!). Btw, if you'd like to know what all I found, I'd be happy to share. :)
Once I watched all the episodes on Tubi, I decided I wanted to get the episodes in order to cap them. No easy task, I can tell you! BUT - I AM GETTING THEM! They're not Hi-Res by any stretch of the imagination, but for a 43 old TV show, they're not bad either. So - I'm getting back into screencapping. I'm hoping this will get me back into capping SPN as well. I took a long break, but I never figured it would be permanent. I just needed to get my mojo back. H&M helped me get it!
Oh! H&M has ties to SPN! Daniel Hugh Kelly, who plays McCormick also starred in the SPN Season 1 episode of "Dead In The Water". And the late, great director Kim Manners, directed 6 episodes of "Hardcastle and McCormick".
I also plan to take notes on each episode: getting quotes, making note of continuity & filmmaking errors, listing the songs, and more. If you're interested in this, please let me know in the comments.
The show's into - which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the series. Great theme song, too!
Here's a couple of sample screencaps to give you some idea of what I'm getting. I've enlarged the caps just a bit, so they're 720 pixels wide, and IMO they still look pretty good, especially for a 1980s show.
