[78-L] Does this episode of Hoarders apply to you?

[David Lennick]

There's a Buddy Hackett HBO special that has never been repeated, the last 
series of SCTV that showed only in Western Canada, a whole load of George 
Carlin specials that Bravo Canada ran a few years ago..not to mention a few 
series like HUFF that I'm too cheap to buy on dvd (or was..I see I can get the 
first season for $5..)

On the other hand, when we cleared my parents' place a few years ago, several 
boxes of tapes went out to the curb. Including every single episode of Barney 
Miller. On Beta.

Some of my old VHS tapes are classical music broadcasts from PBS&  others are copies of classical VHS tapes I borrowed from the library. I remember having to buy those 3 hour BASF tapes for the 4th Of July show that A&E used to run every year. Thankfully the local Pops Goes The 4th that local Ch 26 ran for awhile only needed a 2 hour tape. Haven't watched any of those in years but I'll still keep them. I did play a PBS classical recording that had Beethoven's 7th symphony on it a few days ago though. It was good. Tried taping at LP speed a few times. It didn't look as good as SP and EP speed looked even worse so all the recordings I kept were done at SP.
