I live in Canada and can record directly from
satellite signal different shows shown in their
original broadcast length or if you want unedited ...

All of the followings are of great quality and
are shown with the minimum of commercials meaning
approx. 25 minutes and more per episode or per
half hour(in the case of 60 min. shows)

Bewitched
I Dream of Jeannie
Dragnet
Adam-12
Get Smart
Brady Bunch
McHale's Navy
The Saint
Barney Miller
Three's Company
Hogan's Heroes
Super Dave Osborne
Jack Benny Program
T and T
A-Team
Gilligan's Island

If you are a serious collector of one of those
shows you can email me, post a reply or send
me a message !!! You won't get better quality
and service anywhere else !!!

I also have many other shows but in storage along
with other shows which could also be recorded but
that are not in full unedited versions.

Can you tell me if barney miller is on in canada? if so, id like to know what channel so i can search for someone with whom to trade. I'd like to put it on video cd.

thanks.

Barney Miller plays on a station called DejaView !!!

I'd love to work out a trade, but I have so many going right now, that It wouldn't be until the very end of July or early August. I'd really like any episodes of Gilligan's Island you could get. Just let me know what you'd want in exchange (blanks?).

You can e-mail me at either
KryptonMan101@aol.com OR SoapJunkie101@aol.com

dejaview, eh? is this a digital cable thing? I trade with 2 boys in canada, and neither has digital cable. DOH!

i will just take a deep breath and learn to live. :(

A bit of information that would be vital in helping all of you in deciding to trade with this trader:

1. If you don't have 5th Black-and-white season of My Three Sons or Car 54... Where are You?, then he would most likely not be interested in trading with you.

2. He was going to sell me a tape with 4 episodes of The Golden Girls, we arranged that he would sell me the tape on Friday, and once Wednesday came around, I asked him the following question:

Could you either a) post-pone taping
my next
tape? or b) tape my NEXT tape in SLP
mode?

The reason I was asking is because he wanted $9 per tape of 5 episodes in SP, and I wanted to avoid sending money everywhere all the time.

He thusly replied:

Eric,

I wrote and explained everything in my email
of July 5th regarding EP and SLP mode ...

If I am not mistaken, you wrote back ...

"Okay, that's fine... I have one more question:
With
the commercials edited out of the shows, it is
22
min. You can put 5 episodes on a 2 hour tape if
I am
not mistaken... I don't want to sound rude, but
if you
can put 5 eps on a tape, would you please do so?"

... to which I replied that it would be $18.00
without
commercials for 2 tapes of 5 episodes per
cassette.

Now I have the feeling that we are going nowhere
so
yes I did finish one tape last night but to no
avail I guess !!!

I spend a lot of time on the recording for many
people in
the US, Canada and Europe and furthermore I spent
a lot of
time on my emails asking questions and replying
to many
inquiries and find it very hard to believe that
here we are
Wednesday still taking about the recording mode
when
everything look all set last Friday. As you once
wrote,
I don't want to sound rude but I can not waste my
time
anymore along with yours so ...

Anyway, I do hope that you will find the Golden
Girls
somewhere else but have great doubts about you
finding
them in the great shape that we have them here
and the
way that I was prepared to sell them to you.

Take Care Eric and Good Luck in finding the GG
!!!

I would advise you all to not trade/buy from this person, because he was extremely rude to me, and he might be to you too. I would pull caution to the wind and trade with someone else in Canada, or someone in the states. The GG episodes in Canada timed to 22 minutes... they time the exact same on Lifetime.

Footnote: Less than a week later, I found someone who provided me with 176 episodes of Golden Girls in 9.0/10 quality or better, from NBC. I now own all 176 episodes and 23 episodes of Golden Palace, all of which cost me a grand total of about $40.00.

Dear Members of the Board,

Before passing judgement, I would invite you to
email me personnally and if some of my 20 current
and extremely happy customers coming from all
over the world accept they will give you the
proper feedbacks on all trades that I have made
and am making. Those 20 customers are really fans
of quality whom have been and are buying and trading from me regularly.

Most of my transactions have been done after the
usual 3 or 5 emails and then we were setup for
a while for both parties to deliver what both
parties had promised each other to do which had nothing to do with turning our browsers' mailboxes
into a Chatroom as Mr.Eric Alias Sam Malone decided to do.

I would invite Mr.Eric to show all of 22 emails
that we wrote to each other on this board if the
moderator permits it so that members here have
a better idea of the whole story ... or if interested I might be able to supply some of you
with copies.

Mr.Eric started by wanting one show then another
and then agreed for the GG to be recorded in
SP but then after we had started changed is
mind and so on !!!

I still do believe that my last email presented
by Mr.Eric was done in the best possible way I could write it and as diplomatic as can be under the circumstances. I believe that after 22 emails
and if nothing has been decided yet it is better
for both parties to move on our seperate ways.

I believe in delivering quality for the other
parties really interested in trading ... if you
want material recorded in EP or SLP please inquire
somewhere else but if your are truly interested
in a show in his best shape or form, then anyone
interested can write to me with the exception of
Mr.Eric, of course, whom is more interested in
stacking up tapes of all shows that were ever
broadcasted then watching or appreciating only
a few.

All my traders now owned quality which they can
trade with anyone but, now that Mr.Eric has decided to go so low or at least as low as he is,
I doubt that Mr.Eric as much to offer when he
wants to trade his GG which he paid $40.00 for
and which has been done on SLP.

Beware also of someone who can grade tapes 9 and
10 of 10 and records or buys tapes in SLP mode.

Regarding the 22 minutes episodes of the GG, please Mr.Eric have the decency to explain that
yours in Alabama were 19 minutes and I believed
that 22 was more than 19. About Lifetime, I
was not aware of it but must say that this show
is not one listed in my list on this thread as
being uncut or original broadcast length.

If you remember, you started with another on that
list and then changed your mind for some reason.

If you are going to say things, say them at least
accurately and admit your faults and don't throw dirt where it does not belong, depriving
good traders to deal with an honest man, depriving
real fans from great shows in the best possible
shape.

If you don't want quality stay in your corner,
and if you ever want it but always looking for
free coupons go somewhere else but leave sincere
traders alone. Jack Benny was funny but was not
real !!!

I invite any serious traders to write to me and
after one transaction they will appreciate my
services for good as all my current traders have
done so for a year now !!!

Thank You !!!

Members of the Board:

Mr. Robert Mancini alias kitamila has issued the above statement, and I want to point out a few things:

1. Mr. Mancini alias kitamila has made several slanderous remarks toward my work, when he has not taken enough of his precious time to request ANYTHING from my collection. If Mr. Mancini alias kitamila has assumed that my work is inferior to his, this does not prove that Mr. Mancini alias kitamila's work is superior to mine.

2. If anyone wants to know exactly what was in those e-mails, please e-mail me directly at bast553@yahoo.com and I will forward all of those to you.

3. If Mr. Mancini alias kitamila had not been so vague about what he had to offer, we might have settled after 3-5 e-mails. But "Dragnet" is not specific enough for me.

4. At the time, I was interested in Dragnet. When I found someone else that would tape them for me in exchange for a blank tape, I did not want to, in any way, insult Mr. Mancini alias kitamila by sending such a ghastly rejection as he did.

5. Mr. Mancini alias kitamila has insulted the quality of my tapes. I look for many things, but one thing I look for is original broadcasts. I like to purchase and/or trade for original broadcast copies. If Mr. Mancini alias kitamila has a problem with my way of doing this, he cannot control it. I have in NO way whatsoever insultedthe quality of Mr. Mancini alias kitamila's work. If Mr. Mancini alias kitamila likes to collect SP mode cassettes, it is his business. But, when I requested an SLP cassette to save him postage money and to save me money, he said that all he did was SP, period.

6. This is a personal note to Mr. Mancini alias kitamila:

You have posted above:

Before passing judgement, I would invite you to
email me personnally and if some of my 20 current
and extremely happy customers coming from all
over the world accept they will give you the
proper feedbacks on all trades that I have made
and am making. Those 20 customers are really fans
of quality whom have been and are buying and trading from me regularly.

This paragraph alone insults me as well as the quality of my work. I DO NOT IN ANY WAY APPRECIATE THE SLANDEROUS REPLIES THAT YOU HAVE SENT! IF YOUR WORK IS SO EXCELLENT, HOW COME YOU HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO MAKE A CUSTOMER HAPPY? I HAVE ONLY BEEN ON THESE BOARDS FOR 2 MONTHS, BUT IN THOSE 2 MONTHS I HAVE DONE ABOUT 15 SUCCESSFUL TRANSACTIONS. IF YOU WOULD GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE VCR AND SATTELITE DISH FOR 30 SECONDS, MAYBE YOU COULD AT LEAST LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE INTEREST THAT I HAD EXPRESSED IN YOUR WORK. IF YOU ARE HALF AS BUSY AS I AM, IN A YEAR YOU WOULD HAVE HAD 45 EXTREMELY HAPPY "CUSTOMERS", INSTEAD OF 20... ONE MORE THING: I DO NOT APPRECIATE WHATSOEVERTHE FACT THAT YOU HAVE REFERRED TO ME AS A PERSON WHO SIMPLY LIKES TO STACK UP TAPES. IF I WERE THAT KIND OF PERSON, YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD CALL MY TRADERS:

CUSTOMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
