I always have more tapes than I do boxes. I know the little boxes can't stand up and walk off by itself, so where do they go?

*shrugs* I dunno. And I'm so lazy about labeling them, half the time I have a stack of tapes that I don't know what's on them.

I always keep the boxes on the tape, because I tend to lose them. But in the past, I have not kept track of the boxes, and I'm left with only the tape. Then, I have no idea where I have left them. I don't label the tapes, because it's difficult to get the labels off the tape, when I want to change them. I use a post-it note to label my tapes and then, I stick it to the cover of the box.

I do alot of taping too. It all started when my dad began to tape all the Star Trek series (we are very close to having every episode of every Trek series on tape ) and I branched out. Currently, I tape:

Any Trek I don't have, Pokemon, Tokyo Pig, Frasier, A Different World (as of today), The Simpsons, Power Rangers (from original to Zeo only) and other random stuff from the occasional mystery to AFV.

A year ago I was taping everything from I Love Lucy, THe Lucy Show (for the three weeks my local station syndicated it! Got the entire 1st season, though), DvD, Mary T. Moore, Diff'rent Strokes, FOL, Andy Griffith, Beverly Hillbillies and many more.

So, my recording level has shifted as well.

I can't wait until TV Land, N@N, Hallmark, etc. start showing new comedies. Mr. Ed for instance, is one my mom says I'll probably like.

That's how I am sometimes too. I label the tapes with what I think will be on the tape and sometimes I don't have enough tape left to actually record a certain show that I've already put on the label. At times, I'll just record something that isn't on my normal recording schedule and I'll forget to put it on the label.

I keep all the blank tapes in a bag and just put an empty box in the bag and I'll still lose them. How can a person do that? lol I always lose the boxes. I never lose the tapes.

Here is just ONE shot of my tape room - it's my spare room, I don't go in except for tape stuff. I literally add tapes and tapes every single day. I need more cases but dont have the money to buy them.

My closet looks exactly like your tape room! I literally have columns of tapes right next to each other in a row. My closet looks like an endless sea of tapes. I have tapes all over the place in there. One day I hope to get shelves and storage area for the tapes I have.

I haven't been taping that much lately. I am worn out of constantly taping everything I think should have on tape especially if you have taped for about six years straight. That's me. I would rather see shows that are my favorites be out on DVD than taping them episode by episode, season by season, ect. Taping can be a big hassel after awhile that's for sure. Here is a list of shows that I want on DVD:
* "Addams Family, The" (1964-1966, 64 episodes / 2 seasons)
* "Baby Talk" (1991-1992, 35 episodes / 2 seasons)
* "Batman" (1966-1968, 120 episodes / 3 seasons)
* "Bewitched" (1964-1972, 254 episodes / 8 seasons)
* "Brady Bunch, The" (1969-1974, 117 episodes / 5 seasons)
* "Dick Van Dyke Show, The" (1961-1966, 158 episodes / 5 seasons)
* "Diff'rent Strokes" (1978-1986, 189 episodes / 8 seasons)
* "Family Matters" (1989-1998, 215 episodes / 9 seasons)
* "Full House" (1987-1995, 192 episodes / 8 seasons)
* "Growing Pains" (1985-1992, 166 episodes / 7 seasons)
* "Golden Girls, The" (1985-1992, 180 episodes / 7 seasons)
* "Happy Days" (1974-1984, 255 episodes / 11 seasons)
* "Here's Lucy" (1968-1974, 144 episodes / 6 seasons)
* "I Dream Of Jeannie" (1965-1970, 139 episodes / 5 seasons)
* "I Love Lucy" (1951-1957, 181 episodes / 6 seasons)
* "Jeffersons, The" (1975-1985, 253 episodes / 11 seasons)
* "Laverne & Shirley" (1976-1983, 178 episodes / 8 seasons)
* "Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, The" (1957-1960, 13 episodes / 3 seasons)
* "Lucy Show, The" (1962-1968, 156 episodes / 6 seasons)
* "Mama's Family" (1982-1990, 130 episodes / 8 seasons)
* "Mary Tyler Moore" (1970-1977, 168 seasons / 7 seasons)
* "Mister Ed" (1961-1966, 143 episodes / 5 seasons)
* "Mork & Mindy" (1978-1982 , 95 episodes / 4 seasons)
* "Munsters, The (1964-1966, 70 episodes / 2 seasons)
* "Saved By The Bell" (1987-1990, 86 episodes / 3 seasons)
* "Sanford and Son" (1972-1977, 136 episodes / 6 seasons)
* "Step By Step" (1991-1998, 160 episodes / 7 seasons)
* "Three's Company" (1977-1984, 174 episodes / 8 seasons)
* "Wonder Years, The" (1988-1993, 115 episodes / 5 seasons)

The ones that are in bold are the shows that would like to see come out first on DVD.
That's my list for now but I am sure there's more than this.

I thought I'd answer this too. *giggles* Yeah werm. I keep my boxes all over my room. Most of them are hidden away in drawers under my bed, but now I ran out of room there and they are invading my shelves. I never have a problem with boxes being missing unless I accidently throw them away or something. *Shrug* It all started when I got my own VCR for Christmas in 2000, lol. As for labeling, I label each of my tapes by assigning them a number. One tape is CTV (Classic Television) - 101, one is CTV-102, etc. I then tape a list of what's on it to the front of the tape and keep a database of whats on them on my computer so I don't tape things twice.

I'd buy those. That way all those 10 year old FH tapes I have could be used for something else.

I do the exact same thing, I've done it ever since I've started recording series, I have all the shows I have taped on a list, and I keep track of what episodes I'm missing, so when they come back on, I'll know which episodes to tape. So I don't tape the episodes I do have, over again.

I do that too ... now. LOL, I never used to really label the episodes that were on a tape, and some tapes don't even have labels period. Now I label the tape with what is on that specific tape, and then it goes into my computer, or vice versa. That way, like Impressions, I know exactly what to tape if I missed an episode (or if "wonderful" TV Land skipped an episode)

I should do that. I think I have the same MG episode 3 times. Once I did that, I had one in SLP, one in LP, and one in SP.
