Hey MuppetDude -

Here's something I always wondered about. How the heck do you remember episode numbers, much less remember which episode number corresponds with which storyline?

In my spare time, I've made lists (usually when nothing was happening during my grade school classes, or when I'm copying stuff for trades), and I made some homemade reference books corresponding to Unpaved, 123SS, and any other full (or mostly full) episodes, with the number, an unofficial title, sponsors, airdates, and a list of segments that appear in each show. This summer I started a clip list, and so far I've listed about 5,000 inserts (but there have reportedly been over 30,000)!

Speaking of episodes Muppetdude, I still have not gotten that other DVD yet for our trade. Are you still interested in doing business?

That's cool. But I was wondering:

When someone asks which episode a certain skit or song is located, wouldn't it be easier for you to tell us the year of the episode and perhaps the main storyline? Most of us here haven't memorized episode numbers as well as you have. :wink:

But it's cool that you have a log like that.

I plan to buy the Disney DVDs, but I am still interested in the DVDs you offered. (I'd love to get my hands on that TMM screen test, and the Muppetisms!) I haven't started taping yet.

Sure, but considering that there are about 130 episodes per season back then, it'd be easier to pinpoint what particular show it's from. If no number is provided, then I'd give a description. Besides, Boober_Gorg has a pretty thorough list as to what happens in the episodes. It's an excellent resource.
