Hi,
I'm searching for the following shows / episodes where Alex Karras appeared. If you have some of them and you're willing to sell, please contact me, krs1979junk at gmail.com
Many of these are already online on sites like YouTube and Archive, and I have many of them, but I don't like VHS footage encoded to MP4 files, personally I think it looks terrible. I prefer VHS to DVD recordings.
Please, if you can help, I'd really like you to e-mail me and let me know which ones you have and how much you're willing to sell for.

I have Fudge A Mania if you need it.

Hi! Which format is it? My copy of it is a really poor mp4 file that starts out with the intro "Preservation done it part by RetrospekTV's Rare Media Archive" (downloaded from Archive.org). And it looks just terrible throughout. If you have a different copy of it, I'd love to have it! Let me know and what I'd need to do.

It is a dvd, I think from a vhs tape. I will take it out and look at it to double check.

Hello and thanks for answering! I'm very interested in Circus of the Stars 1993 and the Tonight Show 9-13-71.
The Sonny & Cher episode I have in my collection already.
Would it be possible to purchase copies of the other two, and if so, how do I go about?

PS: I have Circus of the Stars already as a downloaded MP4 file but I really dislike the way VHS footage looks when encoded to MP4, so I'm crossing my fingers that yours is a DVD recorded directly from VHS.
