Then again, we\u2019re dealing  with experts in pain management, which is why so many fans accept the  outrageous behaviour than never manages to shatter the Sweeney household into  smithereens.<\/p>\n<p>The DVD <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kqek.com\/dvd_reviews\/d\/3947_DurhamCountyYr3.htm\">review <\/a>[<a href=\"http:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/?p=4338\">M<\/a>] is up, and there\u2019s also a set of  interviews I conducted back in 2010 prior to the broadcast of Season 3, so feel  free to read a Q&amp;A with series producers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kqek.com\/exclusives\/Exclusives_Durham_1.htm\">Adrienne Mitchell  and Janice Lundman<\/a> [<a href=\"http:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/?p=1210\">M<\/a>], and  composer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kqek.com\/exclusives\/Exclusives_Chapman_1.htm\">Peter  Chapman <\/a>[<a href=\"http:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/?p=1212\">M<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p>And apropos of nothing in particular (unless you want to tie  this towards another strange Canadian endeavor), there\u2019s a series of <a href=\"http:\/\/carscoop.blogspot.com\/2012\/02\/canadian-digs-out-basement-using-only.html\" >videos <\/a> chronicling one man\u2019s 7 year \u2018hobby\u2019 in excavating his basement using remote  controlled scale models. Just watch one video and tell me this isn\u2019t crazy. It  takes soooooo long\u2026 Wouldn\u2019t he want the basement done by now?<\/p>\n<p>In the 7 years  since he began, VHS and VCR production ceased; Blu-and HD-DVD duked it out and  we have a new standard HD format for film fans; TV signals have gone digital;  and besides odd manufacturers probably using reconstituted glass, no one\u2019s  making TV tubes for consumer home theatres anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Just saying&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark R.
