Taping the whole marathon! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

BensonFan · 04-08-2006, 10:54 AM

So who else is going to be taping the entire 2-day TV Land marathon? It will be a lot of work and dedication, but it's a great opportunity to get a whole boatload of episodes in a short time. I believe we will see about 103 episodes in 48 hrs.

You may never get that chance again!

i'm probably gonna record some of it - even with two dvdr's i'd never get the whole thing without a whole lot of trouble

besides, we're still hoping to see the series on DVD soon, arent we?

BensonFan · 04-09-2006, 09:34 PM

Yes, but if it never does happen, at least I'll have a bulk of the show's episodes.

Actually would be 96 eps in 48 hours if they dont repeat.....lol.......

Anytime iv done this I just rotate between two dvdr's or vcr's. I might record this one myself...

gidgetgrape · 04-13-2006, 04:44 PM

I plan to record all or most of it too!

Go to the thread right below this one on the Benson message board that's titled, "Coming soon to TV Land--June 2006" and you'll find all the details, including the actual episodes that will be shown during the marathon. (Thanks to pavanbadal for that one!)

Like your name, by the way. Reminds me of someone else I know.

I'm gonna try to tape the entire marathon. I taped the Night Court marathon they had last year but it sure wasn't easy.

BensonFan · 06-03-2006, 10:09 AM

So far so good..I think I can get 12 episodes on a tape in SLP mode.

(That means 8 tapes for the whole marathon.)

robyrob · 06-03-2006, 10:51 AM

i'm considering buying another dvr just so i can get the rest of it...

BensonFan · 06-03-2006, 11:55 AM

Yeah, I'd like to have a DVR...it would be easier than tapes, I'm sure. TiVo would really be ideal though.

Yeah that about right, i think that was my total when I recorded Sanford and Son. Is the "OVAL OFFICE episode being shown this weekend?

Not according to my list, although they have already made a faux pas...the episode they are showing now is either not on my list at all (I don't know its title), or it was shown out of order.
