Just thought I would let folks know... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Superstation WGN (available on DirecTV, and I am sure other cable systems) is showing 2 hour blocks of some rare shows this week.
Monday - Three's A Crowd
Tuesday - The Ropers
Wednesday - Too Close For Comfort
Since most of the trading sets for these have episodes with low/bad quality, it seems there is a chance this week to at least upgrade four episodes of each series. Anyway, wanted to give folks a heads up.

Best, Joe

There's excellent quality versions of "Three's A Crowd" and "The Ropers" available.
These are sets I made personally from recent airings, direct to dvd.

Thanks for the heads up about the good sets. I wasn't aware that Canada started airing them last month.

Joker, with your Diff'rent Strokes set, did all of them come from BET's recent airing of the series? I ask because they did a butcher job on them. Whole scenes cut out, even worse than the regular syndicated versions of them. I managed to record several seasons that were on Comcast on Demand a few years back, and they had numerous scenes that BET cut out.

My DS is mostly from Peachtree-TV airings ... they average about 22 to 22:30 minutes each.
