Theres no microprocessor control on this G8 !. Philips reduced their costs on this later 22" version by using a moulded front and changing some electrical parts. Engineers enjoyed working on them because of their easy access modular construction ,excellent picture quality when set up correctly ( the H.T, overvolts trip, and beam limiter had to be spot on by the manual to get good EHT regulation) and relative reliability over other makes ,although LOPT and tripler replacement was a regular but easy job on this model. During the colour television boom in the UK of the early to mid seventies there were waiting lists of customers and most of these sets were sold or rented before they had even left the production line. Despite colour television being launched in 1967 many families with limited incomes were watching seven and eight year old monochrome sets purchased or rented to get the 1964 UHF only BBC2 transmissions, these sets were coming to the end of their useful life by the early seventies as the poor quality tubes fitted to them started to fail. The cost of a first generation colour set in 1967 was out of reach for many and production levels were quite low at first as the manufacturers were on a steep learning curve making such complex pieces of equipment . The BBC and IBA had settled into a full colour service on the three UHF stations by the early seventies. Set prices and VAT were reduced as well as the expensive first generation hybrid dual standard UHF- VHF set designs became the next generation solid state single standard UHF only TVs . There was also full employment and steady economic growth up to 1973. This particular period saw imported sets by B&O Tandberg Telefunken Teleton Sanyo Saba Salora Sony Grundig and Korting being sold by eager retailers. The first Hitachi solid state sets came out in the UK at this time and were extremely reliable making them very good rental sets , the pre heated tube model CNP190 tended to take the tube a little off the boil after a few years of use and the tuning presets were not the best idea but other than that they were very good. We were the first Hitachi dealer in the county and had excellent after sales support from the Hitachi rep. who called on a regular basis and helped with any spares issues, but parts were seldom needed for Hitachi's back then. By 1974 Saba Telefunken and Grundig were using multifunctional ultra sonic remote controls on their more up market 26 inch models. The Grundig had one of the first plug in diagnostic check systems at this time, although the module was expensive to purchase. Telefunken developed the PAL colour system for the UK. They were also the inventer of a video disc player in the early seventies but it had a restricted play time of 10 minutes. BRC brands like Ferguson HMV Baird etc. were being rented by Radio Rentals DER Granada and Multibroadcast (Thorn 3000 3500 4000 8000 8500 8800 chassis) but supplies to retailers were not so freely available because of the demand. At one time the Ferguson 8500 was the cheapest 18 inch screen colour set available in the UK . An example of one of their most popular monochrome televisions the 1500 is in the Science Museum London .Apart from valve failures , mains dropper open circuits,EHT trays and a little resistor in the sync separator circuit going open circuit it was pretty reliable but spoilt by a rather cheap plastic cabinet. Like the previous 1400 chassis it suffered from intercarrier sound buzz on high contrast pictures which despite many attempts by various engineers was never completely cured .Many people just wound the contrast back . Another very good set from the period was the Decca Bradford/ Hybrid 30 ( the all wooden CS2230 version was the nicest) which had a valve transistor combination. It was extremely reliable only having about half a dozen stock faults which consisted of occasional valve failure , boost capacitor shorts, wonky width controls , sound or field output failure and simple power supply problems. Telefunken used the same hybrid chassis for their smaller screen models, again in teak or darker wood finish cabinets. Both these sets (Philips G8 and the Decca Hybrid) plus the very nice ITT KB CVC5 models were head and shoulders above the competition for colour picture quality and general reliability. Older engineers will remember GEC and the Pye hybrid models with their CDA panels plus the Bush Murphy sets with the nylon runners inside the mechanical tuners that would break on a regular basis causing tuner drift , the push bar on the Ferguson and RBM mechanical tuners caused a similar problem.

In June of 2002, Disney Channel aired the show “Kim Possible.” This show was created by Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle who were veteran Disney writers at the time, writing also for “Aladdin: The Return of Jafar” and “Monsters vs. Aliens.” They wanted to create something original. At the same time they had this thought,...
This is a re-post and an updated version of my November 2008 Entry. It's been awhile since i last posted a Cartoon-related entry here (does it mean i am maturing now? Yipppee). Anyway, hope yo enjoy it! The characters in these cartoons are supposed to be scary and spooky that will creep your kids out,but then since they are Cartoons and Cartoons are meant for Kids,they turned out to be funny,less creepy and friendly. Here's my TOP FIVE SPOOKY-FRIENDLY CARTOONS TOP 5 SPOOKY-FRIENDLY CARTOON "THE GRIM ADVENTURES OF BILLY AND MANDY" The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy is an award-winning American animated television series that originally aired on Cartoon Network. The show aired from August 24, 2001 to November 11, 2007. On September 21, 2002, it started airing on the European Cartoon Network. The two main characters, Billy and Mandy, have manipulated the Grim Reaper, here usually called Grim, into being their best friend for eternity after having won a bet over a sick hamster through a game of limbo. TOP 4 SPOOKY-FRIENDLY CARTOON "GHOST BUSTERS" Ghost busters is about three eccentric New York City parapsychologists-turned-ghost exterminators. The film was released in the United States on June 8, 1984. It was produced and directed by Ivan Reitman and stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver, Annie Potts, and Ernie Hudson. The film's original release grossed almost US$230 million in the U.S. and $50 million abroad during its theatrical run, making it the biggest grossing film of 1984. It was followed by a sequel, Ghostbusters II (1989), and two animated television series, The Real Ghostbusters (later renamed Slimer! And the Real Ghostbusters) and Extreme Ghostbusters. Ramis, who co-wrote the first two films, has confirmed that a script for a potential third film is being developed by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, the writing team best known for their work on Curb Your Enthusiasm and the American version of The Office. Judd Apatow (who is co-producing the upcoming Ramis-directed The Year One) is also slated to be involved on some level. In addition, the original films' four main castmembers may have minor on-screen roles. In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted Ghostbusters the 44th greatest comedy film of all time. The American Film Institute ranked it 28th in its list of the top 100 comedies of all time (in their "AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs" list). In 2005, IGN voted Ghostbusters the greatest comedy ever. In 2006, Bravo ranked Ghostbusters 76 on their "100 Funniest Movies" list. TOP 3 SPOOKY-FRIENDLY CARTOON "THE ADDAMS FAMILY" The Addams Family are a group of fictional characters created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. Earlier Addams had worked in collaboration with his friend Ray Bradbury. In a 2001 interview Bradbury states that after failing to find a publisher, they went their own separate ways, with Bradbury creating the Elliott Family and Addams creating the Addams family. The Addamses are a satirical inversion of the ideal American family; an eccentric, wealthy family who delight in the macabre and are unaware that people find them bizarre or frightening. They originally appeared as a series of single panel cartoons in The New Yorker magazine, which gained popularity in the 1930s. They have since been adapted to other media, including television series, films and video games. TOP 2 SPOOKY-FRIENDLY CARTOON "SCOOBY DOO" the most familiar versions of the show feature a talking dog named Scooby-Dooteenagers: Fred "Freddie" Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers.These five characters (officially collectively known as "Mystery, Inc.", but never referred to as such in the original series) drive around the world in a van called the "Mystery Machine", and solve mysteries typically involving tales of ghosts and other supernatural forces. At the end of each episode, the supernatural forces sometimes turn out to have a rational explanation, typically criminal plots involving costumes, latex masks and special effects intended to frighten or distract. Later versions of Scooby-Doo featured different variations on the show's supernatural theme, and include characters such as Scooby's cousin Scooby-Dum and nephew Scrappy-Doo in addition to or instead of some of the original characters. THE MOST SPOOKY-FRIENDLY CARTOON "CASPER" Casper the Friendly Ghost is the protagonist of the Famous Studios theatrical animated cartoon series of the same name. As his name indicates, he is a ghost, but is quite personable. According to the 1995 feature film Casper, his family name is McFadden, making his "full" name Casper McFadden.Given that Casper is depicted as a ghostly little boy, there is a controversy among fans of the series about whether or not he is a dead child. Early Casper cartoons seemed to suggest this, as they portrayed him "living" beside a gravestone. Specifically, the short There's Good Boos To-Night featured Ferdie, a fox befriended by Casper, coming back from the dead as a ghost. Casper's death (as well as the reason why he became friendly) has become disputed since then.This somewhat macabre premise was later abandoned in favor of the idea that ghosts were merely a type of creature, similar to ghouls, goblins, etc. He was thereafter portrayed with feet and shown to have ghostly parents. In the 1960s and 1970s, the stock answer provided by Harvey Comics in response to those wondering how Casper died was that he was a ghost simply because his parents were already ghosts when they were married.The 1995 feature film Casper, however, revived the notion that Casper was a deceased human and provided a brief account of his death. According to the film, Casper was sledding in the snow and stayed out for too long, dying of pneumonia. The first direct-to-video film to follow the feature, Casper: A Spirited Beginning, showed Casper's early days as a ghost, not showing how he died and ignoring the story provided in the previous film. ~FIRST COMMENTER~ SK
