Did anybody tape TV Land's marathon for Norman Lears 81 Birthday in 2003 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In 2003 TV Land celebrated Norman Lear's 81st birthday with a marathon of his shows. Since then I have regreted not taping it. I didn't realize that that would be my only chance to watch it. I thought it would repeat again. TV Land showed some of Lears rareist shows including Grady, Sunday Dinner, and a few more. I wish I taped it then. I have felt bad everytime I watch Sandford and Son because I knew I had the chance to watch Grady and I missed it.

I taped and enjoyed it, most of the shows were new to me. The only bad part is I screwed up mr timer record so I missed the last half of Sunday Dinner, Teri Hatcher was cute even then.

The only eps I recorded was Good Times, Sanford and Son and Grady. I was disappointed because the Grady episode that TV LAND was supposed to aired was the one with Fred as a Guest star but the aired another Grady episode instead. False Advertisement-lol
