Was Playaround Video a porn distributor? {{o_0}}

[gshowguy]

@Suitsnappy No. I thought it was a kids' video distributor many moons ago, but it's actually a distributor of B-rate horror films and rock concerts...

@AussieRoadshow ...correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello, I'm a collector of Star Video VHS/Betamax, promo items, posters, etc, particularly the Muppet or Bruce Lee films that were released. If anybody is interested in selling/trading, please drop me a line. Cheers.

The music on the Australian Video is "Waltzing Matilda", isn't it?

[WhatsAYak]

Is that the same Playaround responsible for the handful of X-rated Atari 2600 games released in 82-83?

[gshowguy]

@WhatsAYak I doubt it. This Playaround was from Australia, the one you mentioned was American, I believe.

Then again, there was Wizard Video and Wizard Video Games...

Why does Kermit have to appear in every muppet-related logo?

[Fragglevision]

@ChowderFlapjackFan94 Duh, cause he's the star! It's so obvious!

[Jam24511]

@ChowderFlapjackFan94 Because Kermit is the heart and soul of the Muppets. Why do ask? Are you giving up all these years with the frog for some strange character as a fraggle?

[SirSmeargle]

I'd like to see a Film World Festival logo with fanfare if it ever shows up.

Still have a vhs with the Muppet home video stuff. It's a video with 2 eps of Muppet Babies. Got it when my sister was born back in 1986 so you can guess the age of it ;)

[AussieRoadshow]

Someone told me what it was once but I forgotten the title. Sorry! Hopefully someone can answer. I know it was the same music used on the Press Your Luck game show.

[WhatsAYak]

@AussieRoadshow "Flash", by Keith Mansfield...it was only used on the pilot, but the music for the actual series was based heavily off it!

[AussieRoadshow]

Yes same public domain track used there.
