Oddity Archive: Season 3 - 26 Episode s

3x1 - U-Matic (or, How I Spent My Summer)
July 10, 2014
So much for taking a break...
3x2 - The Great Archive Treasure Hunt
July 24, 2014
Another existential crisis in Archive-land? Get your head out of your ass, Benny boy! NOTE: If viewing this episode on a Pioneer VP-1000 unit (Serial #'s: 12467-21804), please turn your frame display function to the ON position.
3x3 - Return of the Son of Record Rip-Offs (or, Record Rip-offs, vol. 3)
August 7, 2014
We've only just begun...to hurt.
3x4 - Macrovision (and one other nostalgic copy-protection hassle)
August 21, 2014
Copying this video may cause your computer to randomly burst into flames. The Archive assumes no liability.
3x5 - LaserKaraoke Vol. 2 (Aqua Net Edition)
September 4, 2014
Is there really such a thing as too much LaserKaraoke? Let's find out with this special double (if not triple) length episode!
3x6 - Laserdiscs (and their children)
September 18, 2014
For all the time we've spent with this format, a full look at it (and its offshoots) seemed only natural.
3x7 - Copy-Protection Vol. 2 (Odds and Ends)
October 2, 2014
WARNING: This episode is coated in a new, ultra high-tech substance that may cause colorful sparks to emit from your computer. Also, <<
3x8 - Shortwave DX-ing (or, Shortwave for Rank Amateurs)
October 16, 2014
The most headache-inducing Archive episode to date. Guaranteed.
3x9 - Hallmark Presents: The Sounds of Halloween
October 23, 2014
This year's (apparently now requisite) Halloween album review. This was actually meant to be just a minisode, but it ran really long. Consider it a "bonus" Archive episode.
3x10 - Halloween Special 2014 (Archive Wares: Rejuvenique Facial System)
October 30, 2014
Test-driving a new, potential recurring concept, "Archive Wares". The idea is to look at items from the golden age of infomercials ('80's through early 2000's) and their ads and/or tutorial videos. Given that it's Halloween, it seemed only natural to discuss the most nightmare-inducting product sold via infomercials: the "Rejuvenique Facial Toning System".
3x11 - Local TV Vol. 4 (Local Commercials)
November 13, 2014
Well, that only took a year-and-a-half to follow through with another Local TV installment. No, this wasn't painful at all.
3x12 - Oddity Archive's Greatest Misses
November 27, 2014
Ben reviews the Archive (and then the world imploded).
3x13 - Public Domain VHS Distributors (An Incomplete Overview)
December 11, 2014
And welcome to the Oddity Archive, the show that isn't afraid to piss off VHS fetishists.
3x14 - Christmas Special 2014 (Santa Claus IS Watching You!)
December 23, 2014
This episode is dedicated to----you, Amber.
3x15 - Future Oddities (Benny-boy Predicts)
December 31, 2014
After being asked all year about what Ben thinks the next generation of oddities will be, a New Year's special seemed to be in order (somehow).
3x16 - 1-900 ARCHIVE Vol. 2 (Operators Aren't Standing By!)
January 15, 2015
You asked, we gave. .43 will now be added to your next phone bill.
3x17 - VHS Vault Vol. 6: How's Your Sex Life? (Valentine's Day Special 2015)
February 12, 2015
Ladies' man that Ben and Ed are, they didn't really need this. This is really for all the lonely folks (especially the guys) that watch the Archive.
3x18 - The DuMont Network
January 29, 2015
Maybe all those DuMont jokes in all the 50's-centric Archive episodes will make sense now. Maybe.
3x19 - Video Games (A Non-Gamer's Perspective)
February 26, 2015
Q: y u no duvide gams? A: Because I'm not that kind of girl--er, wait. Did you mean "Video Games"? I guess...
3x20 - Audiocassette-Based Board Games
March 12, 2015
Because, you know, VIDEOcassette board games went so well...
3x21 - Electronic Talking Oddity Archive! (Electronic Talking Board Games)
March 26, 2015
How many times do I have to tell you, China Cabinet? The money is NOT in the fishtank!
3x22 - Record Ripoffs Vol. 4 (For Vinyl Fetishists Only)
April 9, 2015
Every now and then we get to thinkin' you'd like to hear somethin' from us done nice and easy. Well, lemme tell ya, we don't do NOTHIN' "nice and easy"...
3x23 - 3DO Interactive Multiplayer
April 23, 2015
An (unintentional) almost-three years in the making...
3x24 - Philips CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive)
May 7, 2015
It's a computer! It's a home video unit! It's a video game console! It's...a little underdeveloped.
3x25 - WebTV (and one other early internet/tv crossover)
May 21, 2015
boxes Boxes. BOXES!!!
3x26 - The Death of Analog TV
June 4, 2015
