Tried to be True is a Vinnie/Roger character study vid made by the Media Cannibals. It appears on their first songtape collection. It is one of their lesser known Wiseguy songvids but a good example of their early work.
In 1995, it was among a selection of Wiseguy fanvids handed by a fan to TV producer Stephen Cannell who was then working on a Wiseguy movie. The fan described Cannell's reaction as being cool with the concept of music videos as long as no money was made. He also thought that fanworks like vids extended the life of the show. Interestingly, even though many of the vid creators were on the same mailing list, no public discussion took place about the wisdom of sharing fanvids with TPTB.[1]
