I've received a few theories about the origin of the Leonard Nimoy video but no final answer. Whoever introduced the clip to the Internet apparently got it out of a BBC special on celebrity embarrassments, but we still don't know where they got it. Some have guessed it was produced for an ABC series called Where the Action Is, which was on from June of '65 to March of '67. It looks like the kind of thing that was done for that show but "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" wasn't released until 1969 — on an album called "The Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy" and the accompanying single. Several folks who know more about this kind of thing than I do say that based on Mr. Nimoy's hair, this must have been done either while he was still doing Star Trek or just after production ceased, because he soon changed his "look." Star Trek ended in '69, about the time the record was coming out. So the mystery continues.
I've also received my fourth TiVo, which is the first of their "Series 2" models, incorporating a faster processor and new features. I sold my first TiVo to a local friend and will soon be doing the same with my second. If you are a local friend of mine and are TiVoless and interested, let me know. (I say "local" not to discriminate against non-Angelenos but because I don't want to deal with shipping one of these things.)
