I get Get on my antenna and I record them onto my external hard drive and then use my movie maker to remove the commercials.

Are these episodes "New" to GetTV? Glad to see they have a weekly new time slot......though the "divorce" episodes aren't very good.......original fan since 1971.

Yes, these episodes are brand new to getTV. The episodes airing tomorrow night and the 25th of this month have not been aired since their original broadcasts.

Great thank you, the only thing is that as you know are only about 42 minutes, and the GetTV airings have a odd look from the transfer to digital, its very noticeable when scenes are dissolved into another, and the credits seem to studder. I have all the released boxsets over the years, but they are very edited as well.

Best part of my collection are my over self recorded 40 episodes totally uncut when TV Land premiered them upon their launch. And yes TV Land for the first year didn't air commercials! They filled the time with old "retromercials" and "promos" plus they aired the old CBS "In The News" from the 70's as time filler.

Those sound pretty awesome.

Well Im must say the new episodes (including Johnny Cash) have a much better quality look, I recorded Sonny & Cher Ep 1 on 1/4/20 and it really looked great! No flicker between dissolves or quick camera cuts. Even the credits ran smoothly instead of that jitter as they roll.

I especially enjoyed this episode as it was cameo star packed, and being the first of at the time a huge reunion anticipation, this episode really holds up. It is a shame that i guess with not so good ratings and the novelty wearing off for viewers and sonny and cher themselves, as the "divorce" episodes continue the magic was lost. I will use once they started breaking into the opening song with Laverne comedy bits i consider that moment it seemed everyone was just mailing it in as monologues were cut shorter and seemed they didn't want to sing together anymore.

But episode one, Bravo to GetTV, I have episodes 2 & 3 from TV Land uncut, would be a miracle if GetTV has a slew of new episodes from all versions, would even like a revisit for "Sonny's Comedy Revue" for historical sake.

These Sonny & Cher programs can be interesting sometimes but I stopped recording shows from GetTV because I now receive the channel in that terrible widescreen format with the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. I also now have occasional reception problems with GetTV as the picture will sometimes freeze up/pixelate and pause for a few seconds, I didn't have that problem before.

A few years ago when I still received GetTV in full screen format, I recorded the episodes of the Peter Loves Mary sitcom and those turned out great.

Ah, yes, the credit roll that blurs, or stutters. I read somewhere this becomes a problem when they try to transfer old videotaped shows to HD, and reconvert them to SD (old videotaped shows should never be converted to HD.)--I don't know if this is true. These credit rolls have been a problem with Mama's Family (glad I saved my copies from TBS years ago), Diff'rent Strokes, and Silver Spoons, and probably other videotaped shows.

Just digitizing a show shouldn't screw up the credit rolls and dissolves. I have a DVD recorder which digitizes, and that doesn't happen.

If CBS owns these I wonder if they are cutting out musical content. They sure do on Carol Burnett reruns.

Music was so integral to this show. And they sang I Got You Babe at the end of virtually every episode.
