Colby's Missing Memory (VHS Review)

- Colby 2: Colby's Missing Memory was an odd waystation in a long line of attempts to make Colby The Computer a Christian Kid's Media phenomenon. It used the Psalty model (write simple musicals a church can produce on the cheap) and tried to reverse engineer everything that worked (?) about the Rettinos' wacky, haunting blue menace. This feels like a calling card, though - a desperate plea for someone - ANYONE - to let them have the money to turn this into a profitable business.
This month on Too Many Tapes, let's see how successful that calling card was...

Fun Fact: The original vinyl version of "Colby's Missing Memory" from 1985 has Jim Cummings voicing Flop the Disc. It felt funny hearing his "Pooh Voice" in a Christian album.
Great episode! Your calming approach to your reviews makes it feel like you're watching it with the audience and not trying to be some class clown over it.
4:20 This video actually is the backstory to Colby’s Clubhouse. In the TV series, there was an episode where this video was referenced in a flashback (and I think some of the actors that starred in it made a guest appearance, albeit as adults).
Flip and Flop look suspiciously similar to Psalty, especially when the actor had a perm. I can't be the only one to notice.
It's not so much a "clubhouse" as a combat palisade meant to break a charge of howling, massed infantry
That just makes it sound all the more awesome! 😎 👍
The 50s must have just been the best decade ever! Look at how deeply obessed they STILL were with the 50s at this point. From like 1979 to 1995 almost all media has some form of 50s nostalgia crap, especially soda pop cafes. The kid's line delivery is like Fallout New Vegas NPCs but even more chewy and 50's-fetishising
It’s the 30-year nostalgia cycle. People who were children 30 years ago grow up into adults who become nostalgic for the media and trends of their childhood. It’s the same reason why people nowadays are nostalgic for the 1980s.
@@jcalexandrewrites Yeah that does seem to be a real phenomenon. It makes sense to a degree but still interesting to think about the reasons for it
i actually wanna see one of those modern church performances of this thing, since you did say that churches still perform it today
I love this show
This blessed me a great deal as a kid.
Not going to lie: this video TRAUMATIZED me as a kid. Specifically the robot dream sequence. It was so creepy and unsettling. So much so that I refused to watch the tape ever again. Embarrassing, I know. 😳
If they knew they were going to dub the dialog, WHY did they have everyone SCREAM directly into the mic?!
I know it's too late, but can you review the baloney and the backyard gang trilogy?
The disks are weird? Have you even spent time with your own friends?
