I was wondering if anyone is taping every episode of any show that they enjoy. Right now I'm taping every episode of Happy Days on WGN and the Beverly Hillbillies on Sundays on WGN. Next show I plan on taping every show of is Three's Company. Because they might not been on TV again for a while.

So what shows are you planning on taping every episode of???

MacGyver. I'd love to tape it but no $$ for tapes :(

Lots!

Any Star Trek Show (Started by dad back w/ the premiere of DS9, I have almost every Trek episode on tape - from TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY & ENT)
Tokyo Pig (A hyper-kinetic, super-amusing anime aired on ABC Family - ON SP!)
Frasier (The I Love Lucy of our era, rocks the house)
Happy Days (already pretty much complete, from TV Land & Hallmark)
The Rerun Show (Taped all the sketches except for the Whats Happening and One Day at a Time - ON SP!)

Others I have more than 2 tapes/DVDs for:
The Simpsons
Beverly Hillbillies
Pokemon
The G-Block (Part of the Fox Report w/ Shepard Smith)
The Andy Griffith Show
I Love Lucy
The Lucy Show

"[Mary Beth's] boy from Sanford turned bad. Stole some Yu-Gi-Oh cards from a store." --Stephanie
"That is bad. Pokemon is better." --Ashley
("The Field Trip, Part I", Episode 61 of Gopher's Gateway)

The Nanny
Golden Girls
FRIENDS
Will & Grace

I'm almost there with a couple shows though!

I want every episode of:

Hogan's Heroes
Family Feud (76-85, 94-95)

The Facts of Life
Diff'rent Strokes
Three's Company

Square Pegs, b/c there's only 20 episodes of it and it'll never be shown anywhere else after the Kitschen.

I want every episode of all of my favorite sitcoms.

I'll name a few:
"I Love Lucy" (have all of them already)
"The Lucy Show" (have all of them already)
"The Munsters" (have all except one)
"Three's Company"
"The Golden Girls"

Hey, do you know if Cartoon Network is skipping any episodes or skipped any so far? I finally had the willpower to stay up to midnight last night to watch it, and it was a school night. :( But yea, I think I'm going to start recording it next rotation.

well... leave it to beaver and happy days yep only 2!! ;)

i think i recorded every episode of happy days except maybe a few...

I have almost all the episodes of Barney Miller

Getting By
My Sister Sam

There are too many that I want to record.. may not get around to recording them all before they go off the air.

I want the following from tv land:

Happy Days
Archie Bunker's Place
Brady Bunch

I want the following from Nick @ Nite:

Family Ties
Three's Company
Charles in Charge

I want the following from TBS:

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

But I'm already taping a lot as it is...

Murder She Wrote from A&E
Mama's Family (tbs) (almost done... got less than 50 eps to go)
Roseanne (tbs)
The Nanny (lifetime)
The Golden Girls (lifetime) (almost done less than 50 eps to go)
Gilmore Girls
7th Heaven
Everwood
American Idol
Dawson's Creek
Friends (don't really know why, I keep getting the dvds as they come out... I guess a part of me wonders if they'll be able to come out with all the seasons)
ER (Now that is a show that needs to come out on dvd!!!)
Family Afair
What I Like About You
American Dreams
Boomtown

See? This is a great hobby to have but can be expensive (buying so many blank tapes every month) and when you keep adding more shows to your want list to record, it starts to be a hassle.

Oh, and I record Days of Our Lives everyday.

dang i just love everything ...a lot of these shows i have most of, some i have none of. i agree, its so strange,
a lot of these shows were on most of my life and in constant reruns, now there are new young people and many of them dont see anything cool in my old favs at all. I know it happens to all of us, it just happened to me so fast, it seems.

Andy Richter Controls the Universe
Cheers

I really considering taping Cheers. I wish I would've taped more episodes of the Odd Couple.:(

Xena, Full House

I know this is late, but I don't really know. I never caught that many on FOX, so I don't know what the order is.

Although not directed towards me, in response to the Futurama question, I just checked, Cartoon Network seems to be airing them in order, and in production order. At least they're airing them in order now, so I don't know how long it will last, or if they have been doing this since starting to air it. They're currently in the first few episodes of Season 3.

Thanks a lot! I'll have to find out when they're starting out from episode 1 again so I can record it because I tried to watch it last night, but fell asleep on the sofa. It's annoying having it come on this late.

Do yourself a favor! Calculate how many eps you are going to put opn each tape (probably 4 if you'll get it in sp and 12 if you'll get it in slp) and then when the correct number ep comes on, just start getting it! Everytime I told myself I'd wait till ep #1, my show ends up being dropped or something of the like. I tried recording barney miller from tv land about 3 times, and just kept waiting till i could get it from ep one, then sept 11th happened and they took a bunch of eps out of rotation. Not that they will probably drop your toon on its second spin around, but you never know what will happen. Took one person to write a crappy letter and get an ep of Dexter's Lab pulled out of rotation. :(

With EP mode, I can fit 17 episodes of a show on there without commercials. :D Cartoon Network is in the 3rd Season now I think so they'll probably start off from episode 1 soon, but like you said, I'll just start recording like next week or so. It's not really that important if the eps are out of order since it's animated, but thanks for the advice though!

Hey, what about "Girls Club"? There were only 2 episodes made (Nov. 2002). It shouldn't be that difficult to complete the set!


I use a different method to tape my favorite classic shows. I try to avoid having to tape every single episode of a show because there's always the chance you might miss one somewhere along the way either because you might have forgotten at some point or you went out and didn't have time or the station might have skipped a few episodes along the way (like CTS did with "My Three Sons") or there's too many to keep track of ("Happy Days" checked in at 255 episodes. That's a lot of tape for one series.) And let's face it, with any series, no matter how great it is, not every episode can be a gem (like when the "Happy Days" gang visited a dude ranch). So what I try to do is divide my tapes into 2 formats.

1. A potpourri of shows all on one tape. On one tape I might have "The Brady Bunch", "The Honeymooners", and "Hogan's Heroes"; on another "The Flying Nun", "Family Affair", and "The Courtship Of Eddie's Father". It depends on what is out there and what is worth saving.

2. About 12-15 of my favorite episodes of one series on the same tape. I would do this if a local station like PRIME is running a marathon on a particular series where I'll try to squeeze every episode I can in one tape, or, more likely, I'll pick one show and choose between 15-30 of my favorite episodes from that series and put them on one tape. That way, when I go to watch it, I won't feel disappointed because I know that every episode on there is a winner! Here are the series that I've been able to save using this method:


The Partridge Family (2 tapes)
The Brady Bunch (2 tapes)
My Three Sons (3 tapes)
I Love Lucy
Sgt. Bilko/Phil Silvers
Andy Griffith
Dick Van Dyke
Beverly Hillbillies
Leave It To Beaver
Happy Days

Three's Company
8 Simple Rules
Full House
Step By Step
Happy Days
Charles in Charge
Reba
Cosby Show
What I Like About You

Although I whittled down my collection, I still have lots of "Get Smart" episodes from TV Land. I have a bunch of sgt. bilko episodes from TV Land, as well as "Hawaii Five-O" taped off of KDKA-TV Pittsburgh during the late 80s-mid 90s, as well as some WGN recordings. I've been taping "Perfect Strangers" occasionally now that it's on a daily basis. If someone aired "Mr. Belvedere" i'd tape that as well--the only episode of that i have is part 1 of the 2-part finale taped off of ABC. Also, I've taped "Gene Autry" & Lone Ranger" off of the Westerns channel over the course of several free preview periods.

I recently got into "Happy Days" & have been continually taping it off of WGN & TV Land. I hope to get all the "3rd Rock" episodes when they hit ABC Family, to add to the episodes I taped off of NBC. I also have selected episodes of Frasier recorded off on NBC.

I have almost every episode of "Zorro" w/ I taped off of Disney. Also I have pratically every "Abbott & Costello" from TV Land a couple of years ago. I have a couple of tapes of late 80s/early 90s Saturday Night Live. I have every single "NewsRadio" recorded off of A&E.

I'll probably tape "Wings" off of NAN. I already have some miscellaneous episodes recorded off of USA & NBC. It's been ages since I've seen "I Dream of Jeannie"--I may tape some episodes of that as well.

I would like to have

Will and Grace
SNL (1990s+)
Facts Of Life
Full House (as i haven't seen any since 1991)

I have:
Two guys and a girl
Full House (87-89)
Freaks and Geeks
Clueless(96-98)

since 2002
i have taped over 20 petticoat junction and over 50 family affair on cts channel 14 toronto and prime and deja view.very soon there is a book coming out called my life belongs to me the anissa jones life story. ed

Oh it's sad to hear that :crying: I wish I had all the episodes of MacGyver too. I only have some like 80 episodes on tape. Knight Rider I would love but only have the first two seasons. And Charmed for some reason which I only have 3 episodes from 1999 I taped when Leo came into the picture. I'll start taping the 5th season now.

The only show I every had all the episodes to was Full House and that was like 8 years ago.

I already have all of IDOJ on tape or I'd say that.
But I'd love to have every episode of Days of our Lives on tape, I know that'll probably never happen since there are 9522 episodes as of today, so if I could just have every episode from 93-02 on tape to go with my tapes that I have (I started taping in July of 02). But if I couldn't have that then I'd want all of 97. I'd really like 93-00 though. Anyway I'm going to stop rambling now. :D
