Are Those Four Tapes Any Good? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Are the eight M&M episodes on Amazon.com worse $9.99 for two episodes? Because I know some series are released on bad quality tapes, and I've been thinking of getting them.

I don't know about the quality of the tapes, but you could probably get them a bit cheaper on ebay.
Also, depending on what kind of tv shows you receive in your area, you could probably set up a tape trade with someone who has Mork and Mindy on tape.

The episodes are in SLP speed, so they are not 'collector' quality. They are like what you record off tv in SLP. I don't know if they are uncut, but that would be an advantage over getting them via a trade.

Oh man, that is horrible! Only a studio could be so greedy as to release 2 eps per tape and in SLP. Bout 10 or so years ago, I purchased the Twin Peaks boxed set for almost $100, and the quality was trash and the speed was LP.
Boogles the mind.
Well, Sean, if you're Mork and Mindy hungry, I am archiving it in SP. I could cut you off a tape here and there in my spare time as long as you pay for the shiping and the tapes.

would you really sell/trade some Mork & Mindy eps. I don't have any, and I loved that show when I was little. I don't have any eps on tape, and the only show I do have is Gilligan's Island, so if you want any of those or would sell, email me! sensibility25@yahoo.com Thanks!
