It has been such a long time since I don´t watch them on open TV here in Brazil. I have to survive on my old 10-year-old tapes and some of them are just ruined. Now, are you in the same situation? How many episodes do you have?

I only have 'The Family Hour'. But I've never watched it on purpose. When I feel like watching L&C, FH is not exactly my episode of choice  Besides, there are several eps I've never watched...  AnnaBtG.

Zero isn't an option? Years ago, I had all the episodes on tape, but I have long since gotten rid of them. I was maybe a sophmore I college when I threw them away. So, yeah, at least four years ago. They were horrible dust collectors. Plus, I have a policy that if I don't use something for a year, I get rid of it.

That´s an idea. Get rid of them but my tapes are still working and I don´t see any life beyond that.  I´m sorry I didn´t put zero as an option but at least I put less than 20 in which zero might be included. I´m sorry about that. I guess I just didn´t think someone can actually live without them. :rolleyes: My recent idea was to put them all in dvx but it is very expensive since i don´t have the equipment here and, i don´t want them doubled!!! Here in Brazil we didn´t have the original sound which sucks! I hope they get it on DVD soon.

All of them in two languages... how's that for obsessed?  I very occasionally watch them again, mostly to get the feel for fanfic when I'm writing. And I really can't bring myself to throw away my old French tapes.  Kaethel

Anna, don´t we have somewhere around here a place in which we actually can download the episodes?  Gee, that would be something!!! I just don´t have 5 episodes. Whine, Whine, Whine (because it didn´t come out in Brazil, I don´t know why) Lord of the Flys (my stupid sister recorded something on my tape)  , Soul Mates (I was almost dying at the hospital- because of a sickness and because i couldn´t watch the first episode after they got married)  , Oedipus Wrecks (i guess i overrecorded with Seconds-Stupid girl!)

Until I managed to get them on DVD (/me waves to very kind friend to did that for her), I used to have two full sets of all episodes. A SKY set and a BBC set. The BBC cut the show to shreds each week, SKY (cable) didn't. Well, mostly. Except for one episode, Virtually Destroyed, where I think they swapped censors for a week. Trusting SKY, I had absolutely no idea that they'd cut a chunk out of the episode and why a certain scene didn't really make much sense until I happened to catch the BBC version and all suddenly became clear. Up to then every time I watched that episode I'd be frowning in puzzlement trying to work out what the producers had intended to mean. :rolleyes: After that, I figured I needed to tape every episode from both channels, so I could be sure of getting a 'whole' episode and miss out on nothing.

I have all the episodes on tape. I recorded them all several times from TNT to be sure that if something happened to one of them that I would have backups. Now that they're not showing anymore, I'm awfully glad I did.

I have all the episodes on tape, and I recorded two times season 2-3-4 (Nan's same reason. I have only translated version (I think italian voices of Clark and Lois are better than originals, but I'd like to have the original too!) Simona

I've got two sets, like Nan & Simona. My really, really old set has like 6-8 eps jammed on a single tape. My new set which I made from the airings on TNT have only 2 per tape. I've got them stored in a gigantic Rubbermaid container, so there's no dust! :p

Anna, don´t we have somewhere around here a place in which we actually can download the episodes? To my knowledge, no You can only download them using WinMX or other sharing programs (provided that you'll find them), but if you're on dial-up like me it takes an eternity Which is why I haven't.

I have a full set of eps from ABC and I think I have a full set from TNT, and dozens of copies. This has served me well, because I have one set just for watching, and another set for making videos (that I don't wear out by watching, so they can be preserved.)
I could not imagine not having the eps on tape! There have been times when I have gone for months or even a year without watching any L&C. But I got back into it recently and I'd forgotten how wonderful it is, how much I NEED these eps! You may not know what you're missing.

the first time I saw the Pilot episode I have seen the whole episode (many years ago); the second time I thought it was a wise thing to register it, but the "I said nine, I thought you'd be naked" scene is missing. SIGH!(n.b. it was another TV channel) I'm a little sorry, because I saw a so important scene only one time! Is this happened to you, too? (btw, I think this is the only case of cutted scenes here in Italy) Simona P.S. yes, TJ we like torture you pooooor without-registered-episodes guys!

I recorded all the episodes on tape from the TNT reruns. Since they were recorded while I was at work, I have to deal with the ridiculously long commercial breaks.
That was until I secured a set of all the episodes on DVD-R. Now the old VHS tapes are just collecting dust. Actually, I don't watch the DVD-R's much either except for research for a fic.
