Wow. That's quite a collection you all have - wish I had something to offer, but I just have the tapes available for sale...(sigh :embarrassed: )

Glad to know it's out there, somewhere, though...

Goodness! I wish I had had the sense to tape up all those episodes way back then! The thing about these episodes is just reading about them is bringing back such wonderful childhood memories as the 1987-1990 period is when I remember watching SS so much (I can't remember anything earlier than 1987 and I stopped watching in 1990 in favor of The Disney Afternoon). I'd be willing to take these episodes any way I could get them!

Too true! Of course, for the first few seasons we couldn't have taped them - most people didn't get a home VCR until the mid 70s (and we actually got a Betamax machine, so if I had, the tapes would be unreadable)
