"Tony Orlando and Dawn". Found out from researching Tony Orlando and Dawn airdates and that Esther Rolle, Jimmie Walker, and John Amos made an appearance on the show. Not Together but at Different times. I can't imagine these John Amos on this Show but I can see Esther and Jimmie. i would pay BIG BUCKS for all 3 of these episods of TOAD-lol

No-lol See Brian you have to understand that if it's something that no one else has and you can't get it from the stores, then PAYING is not a problem. I have a guy who buys shows from me every month because I maintain of collection of shows he can't get anywhere else-lol

All I know is that maybe less than 20 out of over 500 episodes have been officially released and only on VHS. They usually turn up in discount stores such as Biglots or on Ebay. I haven't tried Amazon but it couldn't hurt.

If it's something I really want to see 80 bucks is nothing.

You're right about that, I did have a chance to get 120 episodes from someone on ioffer for $35 but after getting the info to pay him, He suddenly stopped all communication and that was a month ago.

If only one person had checking in on a old beta tape in their basement and they were willing to sell it to me which would ,make me the only trader with the show, probably $300

I used to have it when I had a 12ft dish but since switching to directv, I haven't been able to get it. I wish I'd taped Tony Orlando and Dawn along with the Leslie Uggam's show when I had the chance. :wallbang
