A year or so ago, I found something VERY interesting in Netflix's collection:
The National Lampoon Television Show
a.k.a. Lemmings - Dead In Concert
My father made sure I grew up knowing about the hayday of National Lampoon and not just the string of movies that have had their name on it. I've read some old back issues and listened to a number of albums as well as the replays on XM/Sirius.
Lemmings was the off-broadway production that featured Christopher Guest, John Belushi, Chevy Chase and a couple of other people. Part of it was apparently a skit show, the second half was a Woodstock parody, The Woodchuck Festival of Peace, Love and Death.
What made this find interesting was the utter rarity of it. The album itself is very hard to find on CD, and I suspect current CD copies were done from really good LP's. The video though, its a mystery. IMDB lists it as having been produced for the then new HBO, but the masters were stolen. I don't even remember when HBO started out.
Anyway, point is, here was something that existed as only rumor....free for the streaming. I knew netflix loves to drop streaming titles; so I did what I felt I could....I used FRAPS to screen capture it.
Still...I have *no idea* where they got this thing. To this day its existance is an utter mystery, but its real. I've watched it, twice.
....I never knew Chevy Chase could play drums.
