The other thing I might humbly ask is that, if you want to discuss the relative greatness or badness of a TV show, that is more in keeping with the content we like to see on this board. Not trying to disuade you from posting here, but I think there are other message boards dedicated to tape trading. In other words, once you have obtained a copy of the episode you're seeking, it would be cool if you wrote something about it here. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
