Come on Tom, please find the show first before saying you have it. Saying you have it and don't know where it is doesn't help me at all-lol

I only knew about it because of a football game I watching from Dec of 1990 and when the commercial came on I saw the CBS promo for it. Someone said it was CBS answer to Roseanne

Solomon the only reason that I said that is because I do have it. It is just a matter of sorting through tapes. I know what it looks like. I know how I labled it. This was to give you some indication that someone out here acutally does have access to it.

I know but it's not really confirmed-lol You may just think you have it and may not at all. So that's why I used to tell a certain trader who said stuff like that all the time to stop contacting me-lol He would say-"I have but it's somewhere in my basement" And I would usually say-"How is that helping me?-lol So i just prefer someone find it first and then tell me they have it

I had said not because there are other shows that I taped from 1988 and 1990 from that tape. What can I say other than I was a 12 year old that got too happy with our first VCR.

I actually found the tape within 45 seconds. It did not go to storage after all. I probed and the show is in tact. It is in SLP mode. I started recording as the theme song started playing. The show does have all the commercials intact including promos for "Murphy Brown" and others. Tis' the ep when the middle nerdy child feels neglected and tries to steal the family car.
I dunno. There is always DVD conversion for me. $50.00, huh?

Dude, you are seriously killing me! It felt good to prove that I had the tape. LOL but now you have hit an all time low. I am watching it now and Mos Def smeared his report card so Nell could not see what his actual grades are. Let me go thru this entire tape and I will let you know for sure. Darn! BTW, the younger kid is cute but annoying as heck! What is the fasicnation with you and this show?

It's the checking in of the 90's decade, very rare only lasted 4 weeks and I saw the promos and it looked good to me. So yeah $50 for the Master Tape and a DVD copy included. If that's cool I will be buying a $50.00 money Order on the morning July 13th-lol
