[edit] Before the Internet
Video Masters TV actually began in early 1995, as "Video Masters". That first series went for 17 episodes from Feb, 1995 until October, 1999. One episode in 2000 was not produced, and there is one lost episode from May, 2001. All episodes are on regular VHS tapes, and some select episodes can be found on Youtube.
[edit] Re-Launch
In August, 2006, Video Masters TV was re-invented, and episodes began showing up on Youtube. The show has found a certain audience with the fans of both classic and modern era of entertainment (which include movies, television, and video games). The VMTV crew cover as much as they can, from Colecovision to X-Box 360. With reviews to classic shows like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, to more modern shows like Heroes and Journeyman, there is always something for everyone. In the second season, Gibson had attended the Big Apple Con in New York City, and spoke to Former Child Star, Mason Reese, and the first Jason Voorhees himself, Warrington Gillette. Also, Truelove and Young visited Far West Comics in Utah, Rau gave fans a quick tour of the Ground Kontrol arcade, and Newman showed highlights from the New York Comic Con.
[edit] Recognition
On January 28th, 2007, Video Masters TV was featured in an article on [1] Destructoid, a hardcore video gaming site.
[edit] The Future
Currently, Video Masters TV is in its 2nd season, and a DVD of the 1st season is in the works for a June, 2008 release, including the first 10 episodes, with audio commentary, and special features.
Season 2 will end in May with the cliche Season Finale cliffhanger which will carry on into Season 3 (Airing in August, 2008). Rumors are that there will be an additional host/correspondent in the 3rd season.
Plans are being made for the new season to head out into the field, and conduct more interviews, attend events, such as the Big Apple Con, and have guest hosts occasionally pop in. The crew is scouring for content, both old and new, and fans can keep up to date with these happenings on the official website.
