Hi everyone...

I would like to thank all of you who have asked for copies of my Silver Spoons tapes. If you have already sent me a message please be assured that I will contact you personally. For those of you who are wondering about getting tapes there are guidelines that I must enforce...

1 - These tapes are to be used for personal entertainment use only. They are in no way to be copied for sale. Selling episodes is illegal and I am fully licensed by the FCC.

2 - In no way will I charge someone for any episode. You will be charged for the tapes, shipping, and my time (at a tremendously discounted rate instead of the $50.00 per hour my agency clients are charged).

3 - You will have to understand and agree to the fact that there are several other people who have asked for the tapes as well and since I am not a factory getting them to you will take a great deal of time so you will be waiting a while. Considering you've already waited 15 years what's a little longer...

Fees for the complete series:

Videos: Either you supply the tapes depending on the speed you want them taped at or pay $3.00 per tape.

Shipping: $15.00 in the US if in EP mode (SP will be higher). If you live elsewhere you will need to let me know where you are.

Labor: There are 116 episodes in the series thus taking me an average of 70 hours per set. Labor charge is $3.00 per hour.

Total cost for complete series:
$252.00 US shipping included. (EP Speed using nine tapes)

$297.00 US shipping NOT included. (SP Speed using 29 tapes. Shipping will be higher as box is heavier)

I hope this will answer any questions you may have. If you would like to get ahold of me please direct messages to jm@wizard.com. Thank you again for your time and interest, I look forward to speaking with you.

Best regards,
Judy Moose

I think it would be better just to wait and record the series yourself. If you are making ANY profit off of anything connected to videotapes, YOU ARE BREAKING COPYRIGHT! And, another thing, the show is not worth $100.00, much less $250.00! So, just to let you know, you are in copyright violation by accepting anything for the copies, and even just copying is breaking copyright, so there!

Rather amusing message from someone who asked me for copies two months ago...

I think the comments made by Sitcomsluvr were totally unfair. To say, "Tapes of Silver Spoons are not worth $100.00, much less $250.00" is absolutely ridiculous. A true Silver Spoons fan wouldn't object to paying any price.

Also, I work as a videographer, so I know how much time and effort goes into producing videotapes, and I certainly don't think Judith's fees are unreasonable. Personally, I think she deserves a big "thank you" for taking the time (in between her writing) to make up copies for those who want them.

Keep up the good work, Judy. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

I do videography myself and understand your point. The rates are reasonable as well.

i admire you for all of your effort and your supreme loyalty to these televisons shows but if you are willing all of laborus work is not nessisary i used to do the same thing with other tv show but then i figured out throught a few peices of equiptment you can transfer your analog or VHS tapes on to your computer and set up a database of each individual show , i did this about 6 months ago and now i have like 5,678 episodes if various tv shows on my computer when i realized that this eqiptment started to get expensize i went to EBAY.COM it was amazing at some of the prices i could get. but seriously it is worth it if your tired of video tapes and you want a very easy solution that is it and if you still love the good old VHS i still respect you for what you do with these things because i know how hard it is to deal with those video tapes and i don't have the patients that i am sure you have, it is worth a shot GO DIGITAL, just an idea

Personally I don't think that is a fair price at ALL!!! Have you not made master copies of these 9 tapes? If you have then that greatly reduces your labor time. I have 4 tapes.. to dub those it does not require much "labor" at all.. I pop in the tapes.. hit record and let the tapes run while I sleep. That's less than 5 minutes of labor. How can you justify the hours you say it will take you?

First of all I would like to address something in defense of Judith.

I have had the pleasure of knowing her and we both have something in common: we are writing books(her about Silver Spoons, me about Knight Rider)

Now I have NBC airings of Knight Rider in superb condition. There are 90 hours of Knight Rider and I command almost 25% more then Judith does when I offer to do it for someone.

Feel special that someone has all these episodes intact. NBC is not syndication and did not hack scenes. So in the end, Judith deserves to be compensated for her time.

The next time someone gets holy and proclaims that Judith does not know what she is talking about, she is following the law and the way she is proceeding is not illegal.

Thank you Judith. I have not seen an episode of Silver Spoons in 13 years and enjoyed the show, but I love Knight Rider more lol.

Sincerly,
Richie

Personally, I think everyone who wants SS tapes should record them themselves. I mean, the cost really isn't reasonable b/c not everyone has $250 to just throw out the window(Ya'll can't say I'm now a fan cuz I love SS the most). Plus, if most(if not all) of you don't know her so how can you really trust her??? Jessica

(One Day I Believe I Will Marry Rick Schroder)

Two quick items to go over tonight. First is to address the item above. Since it appears that I am one of the few people that actually has all 116 episodes from the original airings there have been over 600 people ask for copies of my tapes and with few exceptions I have agreed to do them with or without compensation. As for my credentials I will leave one thought: Considering that the cast and crew of this series are trusting me with their reputations in the production of both the official book and footage for NBC's 75th Anniversary Special, I think it is safe to assume that one set of tapes isn't too much of a stretch...

The other purpose of this note is to let everyone know that I will be passing the torch as it were. Between the tasks of writing this book, keeping up with the NBC project, and running my Advertising/PR/Entertainment Research agency I have found that my time is being extremely taxed. With that in mind I have found two people that will be taking over the video production of this series (both people know who you are and I will notify you as to when everything is ready to proceed). In the meantime should you have any questions or need further information I have set up a separate e-mail account solely for this topic. The new address is: silverspoonsstuff@hotmail.com. Those of you who are in the process of having tapes done, they will be completed by me before the others take over. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I have been unsucessful in getting in touch with Judy for a month concerning my #3 spoons tape that was said to be on its way a month ago now I see this new pass the torch message. Just wanted to know if the tape has ever been sent and when i might get it and do the new people will be aware of it? and also the answer to my other question if #3 hasn't been sent whatever money is left over from the $84 could go towards the next batch of tapes would love to hear from Judy before the switch is made diana294@juno.com

I can't see spending that much money on the Silver Spoons series. I could see if someone was like doing this privately, but advertising these for the public? I didn't care much for the series, so I don't know how desperate some of you are to get your hands on the series, but all of that shipping, and the postal workers these days, aren't that careful with are mail, and what if they get lost? That would be $200.00 down the drain. I would personally wait until they do something on Tv Land, because they have been adding on sitcoms.

Athena;

The reason you haven't been able to catch up with me is because I had a new DSL line put into my system and it immediately crashed my computer system. It took until the day before yesterday to get the parts put back together. Anyway, the tape is finished as are all of the rest of the set. If you are ready to take them all please let me know. Otherwise tape number three is leaving on Tuesday afternoon.

All this is also coming from a person who RIPS people off on the Tape trading newsgroup under several aliases.. etc.. Now they want to spew out about copyright violations?? Nobody trade with SITCOMSLUVR.. don't believe me? Look up their email address at www.deja.com (http://www.deja.com) and see what you find out about this person!

SitcomsLover, you aren't doing anything to helpt this, and you chrage sooo much money, and don't give anything to the person. Judith at least gives the people the episodes, unlike you.

I think that $250.00 is a crazy price for videos. Especially ones that you make copies of and advertise for the public. My opinion of this is that this just seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Copyright is against the law and no-one should even copy anything that is copyright. I think it's even breaking copyright further by making profit off of copyright material. This is just my opinion, but I would suggest that you all think about it.

You know, I'm beginning to regret ever telling anyone that I have all of the episodes. Although there have been a few people on this site that are gracious enough to defend me (whom I thank for their efforts) it really isn't necessary as I will now once and for all clear up any further concerns...

For those of you who are dealing with copyright issues let me explain it in terms you may understand. I am fully licensed by the Federal Communications Commission and am completely up to date on copyright concerns as I use them daily in my profession. It is illegal to charge for episodes. It is NOT illegal to charge for the videos that have to be purchased, the time it takes to transfer the material to the new tapes, or the shipping on the finished product.

With the exception of three people who know who they are, I personally will no longer be doing taping because quite frankly, I've done it for two years and I'm tired of it now. Anyone wanting to have them done can leave a message at silverspoonsstuff@hotmail.com. You will be contacted by Richie Levine with whom you can work out any further details.

well quite frankly it is STILL a copyright infringement to make money off of copyrighted material-- you can claim that all the money goes to tapes, labor, etc. but the point is you are still making a profit off of a show that you have no COPYRIGHTS to! Also think about it it really does not cost any $250. to make 9 tapes. these days you can buy a 9 pk. of tapes for $10. Shipping media mail is about $5.- maybe $6., so you want to say that you need $235. for labor??? you are making profit off of copyrighted material.. plain and simple.

First of all let me tell you that maybe you need to respect Judith. Do you think it is easy to take the time and put 116 episodes onto 9 tapes(or for that matter 116 onto 29?) Judith is the ONLY one to have decent uncut copies of the show. The fact that she is even allowing anyone the privelage of the tapes is a benefit.

Not to mention that a VCR can only take copying so many episodes before it breaks.

As far as Judith breaking any laws, she is not. Judith is EXTREMEMLY busy and should she not be compensated for

1) Her time
2) The strain on her VCR's
3) The cost of blank tapes
4) Shipping

You need to get a reality check into the real world. If not for Judith you would be at a severe disadvantage. At least for awhile you had the privelage of speaking to someone who knows more about the show then you do. I am taking over for her because she is tired of dealing with people who balk at money for what they want.

The old saying is true...if you don't want it, don't buy it. Now that said grow up and give Judith some respect. After all she deserves it.

Actually-- I myself HAVE all eps. of Silver Spoons and didn't have to pay a dime for them, got them through tape trading, etc. I have made copies for others as well and in NO WAY would I feel justified asking for $235. for LABOR!! VCR's are pretty cheap now. I recently bought a new one that makes great copies for $60. The only reason you defend her is because you yourself want to take over in making a sick profit off something you have no copyrights to.

That's exactly the point! Copyright is illegal. Especially when you make profit off of copyright material. So stop breaking the law!

Judy, sorry to hear you're leaving tape trading. As for you who are complaining about the prices, have any of you ever done a trade of the magnitude of the entire original run of a series. It takes me all of my free time to do 2 tapes for people, let alone one that big. If you ask me, as far as labor, that price that was listed was a discount. As for tapes, It costs money to buy one tape, let alone what would be needed. As for shipping, try sending a lot of tapes via priority mail sometime. IT ain't cheap. It costs me $3.50 to send ONE tape.

Judy, sorry to hear you're not doing tapes anymore, but with some of these people who don't know much about tape trading, I do understand.

Judy, I was one day hoping to get all the episodes and be a trader but that's been cancelled cause I have no way of getting episodes if you shut down

I guess The Silver Spoons tape offer is kaput as the person Judith said was taking over doesn't answer e mails. Maybe it's a good thing.

My name is A. Maurer and I need to get in touch with Judith concerning the purchase of the lastest batch of Spoons eps. I orderd back in May. I have tried all of her emails and have been unsucessful in getting intouch with her. As a beyond happy customer I would love to continue my collection with her, but I need to get in touch with her first.
Thank you for any help someone can give me.

I have spoken to Judith and as she has told you she is very busy.

I have been waiting several weeks for people to get in contact with me if they needed episodes. Judith has several projects and is extrememly busy.

The email is silverspoonsstuff@hotmail.com

If you need to reach me personally, you can do so at webmaster@knightrider.ws. If you have aol, you can find me as junkyarddog1985.

I am ready and available, just give me a holler.

Richie

Judith, I have to ask something. You are coming out with a book about Silver Spoons, and you said it might include info on the cast/characters. Can you tell me somethin about Alfonso Ribeiro, either from when he was on the show or now? I ask because I am one of his biggest fans, and I am always looking to learn more about him. thanx in advance

Hang in there Judith!

Hi all. I have read all replys to the taping of Judith's SS episodes. First of all, I picture Judith as an elderly retired lady sitting at home with just two VCRs taping the episodes continuously. Am I the only one who pictures this? No disrespect to Judith, but if it is too much labor for her, why doesn't she hire and manage a handful of people to do the jobs? I have been an SS fan for many years, and I would love to own all the episodes, but I in no way have the money to purchase them from her. Instead of expecting people who are SS fanatics to be able to dish out the money, and considering Judith's "credentials, connections, and probably money", shouldn't she try to "lower herself" and realize that most SS fans are honest, working class individuals and realize that she is charging way too much? I know it is said, if you can't afford it or if you don't want it "don't buy it", but don't you consider this to be an arrogant and ruthless reply?

No disrespect to me??? First of all, I am far from being a retired old lady who has nothing better to do than record videos for people on two little machines (especially when I have 12). I am 33, have four degrees, run two Advertising agencies (I'm President of one and Director of the other), do production pieces with several studios, and manage to squeeze in time to write books on both Silver Spoons and Dynasty. Contrary to your belief, I don't need to lower myself to anyone as I don't place myself above them to begin with. I wasn't born with the world at my feet, I have spent thousands of hours putting myself into the position that I am now in and quite frankly I do take offense when people make assumptions based on things that I haven't said or done without bothering to take the time to simply ask before they jump to conclusions.

I'm not sure what you are quoting for the "don't have the money, don't buy it" line as it has certainly never come from me. I did so many sets of these tapes for people without asking for a cent it wasn't even funny until someone asked why I was destroying my equipment. I asked that no further requests be done, that didn't work. I posted the message with the outrageous fee hoping that it would stop the requests, it didn't. I did not ask for over 600 people to contact me for episodes and I personally have not touched a tape in over three months for anyone other than the cast of the series. In case you didn't notice, I gave everyone an e-mail address for the person who would be doing them as I would no longer be part of it. What deals he has or charges are not up to me and I no longer have anything to do with. I am not now nor have I ever been in this for money and just for the sake of everyone's curiosity, the money that has been collected for the tapes that I personally did was donated to charities that the cast of the series participate in.

So if this message sounds arrogant, it wasn't meant to be but you can't expect to attack my character when you don't even know what it is and then think that it doesn't matter.

Hi Judy, 9-16-01
I need to get in touch with you concerning how my spoons tapes are doing? I sent you back in June a check for $70 and you received it.Athena Maurer

WOW! I didn't expect a reply from you! Apparently, I have pissed you off beyond belief! I was simply stating my thoughts. After all, this is a message board. Richie Levine stated in his last post "The old saying is true...if you don't want it, don't buy it." I took offense to that. Anyway, calm down and don't get so upset. People are free to have their own opinions.

So then why is it that a few months back you chose to post a "Set" of Silver Spoons for sell on Ebay for a reserve of $250.? If you don't like doing these tapes why are you auctioning them? Not for money? Then why post an auction with such an outrageous reserve? shouldn't the reserve be enough to cover costs of tapes. Even $10. a tape would only amount to $90. for the set - you can buy tapes for about a buck now. What is the excuse? Frankly I don't believe everything you say about this. And also when is Athena going to get her stuff from you?

I posted the set as a dare from a friend who wanted to know if people are really that hung up on the series. Since they were purchased, looks like they are. The money from that set was donated to Haven House which is one of Erin Gray's charities for abused women. I honestly don't care whether you believe what you think you know about me because those who do know me know better. Athena has already heard from me this evening as she has my personal e-mail address and her tapes were sent over a week ago. Now if you'll excuse me I have friends that were on the planes that crashed whose funerals I have to attend and the publisher for the Silver Spoons book was in the Trade Center's second tower and is also now dead. I have more important things to do than worry about what anyone thinks about video tapes so why don't we just do everyone a favor and since I have already asked several times for tape requests to stop, simply end this topic. You can all post whatever you want to but this is the last message on this subject you will get from me. There are three other people that I know of whom all claim to have the entire series. Why don't you try getting a set from them. Mine are going back to nothing but studio use.

Sorry about your loss Judith. My prayers are with everyone affected by this national tragedy.

Ok guys, I just logged into this site for the first time today. I spent 2 hours reviewing my pleasant past and then 25 more minutes reviewing this bickering. Ya know, if someone has the tapes, which is more than I expected to find by far, then sure, I will pay them. I loved the show. It is actually on of the most wonderful memories that I have from my childhood. Especially as horrible as it was. Not just that, but I had the absolute biggest crush on Ricky....=)~
Anyway, I may not be able to afford everything at once, but I will try to get them all eventually. As far as the copyright laws? Read them and their loopholes very quickly. Also, do not speak so harshly unless you have done no wrong or ill yourself. Degrees do not count nor matter in the scheme of things.
Basically put, if you do not like it, shut up and go away. Otherwise, be happy, appreciative and glad.

Thanks Judith....

Judith,

I am sorry, I did not read far enough to the end and, I guess assumed that it went on the same. I sincerely apologize for that. I am heartfelt for you and your friends and you guys' loss.I can not begin to know what you are feeling, other than belief that I will have in you, your friends and all of us to suffer through this difficult and trying time. My prayers are with you and yours as well. I hope that you find peace in each other and wherever you turn at times like these for understanding. May you be cared for and nurtered.

Sincerely,
Michael D. Lucius

I had no idea that the SS tapes could be purchased individually. Sorry for being harsh on you Judith. That is a wonderful idea. I may be able to afford it now. Though from the skeptical e-mails you have received, I doubt you will be selling them yourself. Hope everything is ok with you and your loved ones. God Bless.

I had no idea Silver Spoons tapes could be purchased individually either. How much do the tapes cost individually?
I'm sorry to hear about your friends, Judith. I can't imagine how horrifying it must have been to hear of the crash happening and knowing people aboard the plane and in the World Trade Center. I hope that you and your loved ones will be okay after this terrible tragedy. God bless.

I have watched over 2 and a hafl pages of bikering and I don't like it. It seems as though you all got hung up on a price that I agree is a little too high but if you didn't know it cost $300 for one episode of any game show.The next time you complain thnk of this it cost $34,800 for 116 episodes of any game show. I need to get some episodes from some other shows too so I will say that it might cost too much but it is a piece of sitcom history and with NBC being the network they most likely would have locked them in a vault FOREVER

well rich people get to see silver spoons......most of us think that price is....well...CRAZY.....On ebay, sci-fi/SLIDERS ENTIRE SERIES AND OTHERS HAVE SOLD FROM $75--$150....WHICH ISN'T BAD.:confused:

I think the price was about $250 when I looked at this topic last time. I totally agree that the price Judith was asking for seemed absolutely ridiculous! That's why I decided to begin a petition a little while back to try to get Columbia House to sell them FOR REGULAR PRICES.

Plata, you do realize that the Columbia House tapes are about $25 each for 4 episodes per tape. To get all 117 Silver Spoons episodes (if they were even available from them) would run you about $750..

I have to defend Judith for a reason that is very important to me. Many people do not know how much a person has much love for a series that would start from day one not knowing that this great show would never show up for years and still taped them. I for one did that. I taped the shows ever since the show first aired only for my personal veiwing and I wore most of them out but they still showed well for 3 years in the event that I lent 4 of my tapes that were taped on slow speed with about 15 episodes on them to my nephew and he did not take care of them and gave them back to me and were lost. I regret that but I had watched them constantly as I said and to me are worth over 2 dollars per episode at what judith was charging. That was just a one time thing and I bet she enjoyed the show as much as I did by being so smart as to tape them. for people who are aggravated at her should look at themselves and think to themselves that they should have took the time to tape them back in the 80s although I do not think bad of the people for opinions but to get my episodes back is only by judith whom I haven spoke to as of yet but if I still had my episodes, I couldnt even put a price on them because they are priceless to me and I watched the show as much as I could but I did not get them all unfortunatly so I commend you judith that you spent time to GET THEM ALL. So to everyone......If she is not selling them anymore than you all may be out of luck and I am very much so because SHE IS LEGEND to me because she has a very good collection that she was trying to share with the world...my final say. "think about it" IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET 250.00. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE "ONLY A HANDFUL" TO HAVE ALL EPISODES OF SILVER SPOONS. IT IS WORTH IT.

:happyface :D :cool: :cool:
