First two seasons are now complete!

[Lee G]

Taping the uncut episodes from Chicago's Me-TV, I now have seasons one and two complete. They just started airing the third season episodes, so now I'm working on those. If all goes well and they keep the same schedule airing two episodes on Sundays, I should have all the episodes by early or mid August. I'm keepin me fingers crossed.

That's great Lee!! Nice that some station somewhere is doing this. Would be nice if ME-TV got franchised!

Nice to hear an update!!! I will continue to wait patiently, but the mid august thing worries me a bit because the schedule will likely change for the summer.....teeveecloset@aol.com

Yea, I know what you mean. Hopefully they will keep Patty Duke on the schedule thru the spring and summer. I'm happy that they are now airing the 3rd season episodes, I want the whole series but those 3rd season ones are my favorites.

I am taping these on VHS-SP, it will take 26 tapes for the whole series. I leave the commercials in, so it's the entire 30 minute telecast. There are not many commercials anyway since the episodes are uncut. Occasionally they include old commercials from the past, so it's cool to see those too. I've transferred the season 1 and 2 episodes on to DVD's, they look superb, it is basically 10 out of 10 quality. I have the pilot episode too, that one is transferred from film.

I do strive for perfection, but of the 72 episodes I have so far, 7 of them have minor issues but it's nothing to be too concerned about. I'll provide more details later once I have all the 3rd season episodes taped. Hopefully there will be no problems with those. But when all is said and done, this set will be a major upgrade over any Patty Duke set that's out there right now.

Great to hear the news, I am very passionate about the hobby and quality as well, not picky but just make my dvd's with custom artwork, etc for fun....good luck and again thanks for the update!

Thanx for the good words! I must admit it's been a bit of a chore taping these, especially now since they air it on Sundays in the wee hours of the morning. But I like the show and getting the uncut episodes is what makes all the effort and work worthwhile.

It's rare for any channel to run anything uncut! Maybe later on, we can work out a deal?

Would like to help ya out, we'll see. I want to make a set of episodes for TeeVeeCloset, to be honest I barely have enough time to make DVD's for me because I work at my regular job six days a week. I don't want to make too many commitments and not be able to deliver. Let's wait till I have the complete series, and we'll go from there.

A Big Sigh Of Relief and I feel very fortunate to have a wonderful Patty Duke Show collector pal like yourself to remember me....by the way I do have Patty guesting on Password playing her TV characters and a week of Tattletales with Patty & John in mint quality with the original commercials! So I will patiently wait and continue to wish you the best of luck!

Don't worry, Lee. I won't be banging down your door wanting the DVDs anytime soon. I'm not in a great financial position anyway--medical problems and can't do more than part time work at the present. But maybe later down the road, ok, bud?

You're welcome, just want to let you know my DVD's don't have any fancy artwork, the menus are simple with episode selection. But the Patty Duke eps are uncut and overall the quality is top-notch. That's the important thing. This will be a great collection when I have the series completed.

Thanks for the offer, I do have another set of Patty Duke episodes, they are from the old TV Land airings. These run mostly in the 24 minute range, which is not bad, the quality isn't great but at least I have these as back ups in the event I need em.
