Hello everyone. I was hoping someone could tell me how to get a hold of a taping of an old game show. My brother was on “Just Like Mom”, a 1980s game show which was filmed in Studio 1 at CFTO-TV in Toronto.
The tape we had recorded it on accidently got recorded over a few years ago and he has never forgotten about it because it was the only video recording of him when he was a child. To make it worse, it was our step dad who recorded over it, and this has caused some major tension between them. As his 30th birthday is approaching I thought it would be a perfect gift to get ahold of a copy.
If anyone has any idea of how I could track down a taping of a specific episode, please let me know. It would make my brother (and my mom) so happy!!
Thanks!!

hopefully someone here at SO has the show (albeit thats a slight possibility in this case, as it wasnt a well-known show...I remember it though, especially the last round where the Moms had to guess which kid baked the cookies!

) But, maybe you should try contacting CFTO, its possible you could order the show from them, a slim possibility but, give it a shot!
And when you have something special on VHS, pull out the tab on the top left corner and it cant be recorded over.
