I think the only thing not covered here is "Public Access", but then, the less said about that, the better!
I'm going through the clips, but I'm not seeing Commander USA's Groovy Movies.
Sorry, I forgot about him! They're out there, I know it. I also realized I missed the point completely where I wanted this to go, but then again, that's how I live!
