We're up to episode 110 in the 8th year in the series. They only made 5 episodes that year. Once more they're all very poor quality originally off worn VHS tapes recorded at the slow speed, but is the best quality I could find of them. To make it worse, they were probably originally converted to digital in very blocky & inefficient MPG in the 1990s, then later converted from MPG to other formats. Still, thank goodness somebody was able to gather up these poor tapes of every episode, so the shows weren't lost forever.

I actually had a few of my favorite episodes on Betamax, that were probably better quality. But when I started converting many of my VHS tapes to VCD or DVD, I didn't get around to the beta tapes yet. But the Beta tapes, along with a machine to play them got lost in the fire. It's a shame, because most of the DVDs, hard drives, some of the CDs/VCDs, & most of the VHS tapes survived the fire. So if I had converted them, they'd probably still be around.

Enjoy!

Some of these episodes didn't have the commercials edited out. I guess crossdressing was more popular than some would think in the 1980s. In a Fruity Pebbles cereal commercial in the middle of this episode we see Barney Rubble & Fred Flintstone in drag!

There wasn't much in the next 3 episodes, so I captured what little was from all 3 in this set - - including Dougie in another dress.

Enjoy!

There wasn't anything else of interest in the very short Season 8 with only 5 episodes for the season. So we're up to Season 9. Here in episode 116 a couple of the boys get to wear a skirt to school in a very brief scene.

Sorry I haven't been posting much media recently. With people finally making it to my town to visit, my primary computer drives just about worn out, doing some clean clones of the system onto a couple newer used PCs, getting them tweaked just right, & then catching a nasty stomach bug or flu has set me way behind on a lot of other stuff.

This next set of caps came from a video that is even much worse than most of these YCDTOTV videos. It took a lot of filtering & enhancing just to get them viewable. But to do too much would make them look like a low resolution cartoon, or poorly made drawing. So it's always a compromise of somewhere in between.

It's a shame about the quality, because in this one, we have Dougie in diapers, a frilly bonnet & bib. Would have been wonderful in HD.

Enjoy!
