NO MORE TRADING THIS SUMMER

I will not be accepting (or listening to) any more trade offers until mid-September at the earliest. After next week, I will be out of town for a spell with my family; I don't want to try to pull off a trade in one week's time. After that, I have jury duty and I have no idea how long that will take. I also have a massive update to the library which needs to happen before I trade again -- that 56-hour behemoth plus some. I have been itching to trade again, but now just is not a good time.



TRADE STATUS:
As of January 30th
THE COLLECTION STANDS AT:

3,058 episodes

AND NOW FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!:

All shows that begin with the word "the" will be catalouged by the second word. Therefore, The Joker's Wild will be found under "J" & The Price is Right will be found under "P." Also, any show beginning with a dollar amount will be found under the first word after that. Therefore, all versions of Pyramid will be found under the letter "P."

Also, there's a tag at the end of each episode description for your edification; you don't need to send it along with your want list. There are a few different parts that I'll decode it for you now.

PART ONE: (Source):
Below are a list of all of the abreviations of the various sources. It kind of looks like the Wall Street from Hell.
OB: Original broadcast
OB?: Possibly an original broadcast
RPT: Repeat broadacst from original network
SM: Studio master copy
GSN: Taped from Game Show Network pre March 15, 2004
BSN: Taped from GSN post March 15, 2004 (with the very intrusive credit crunch; that's why I differenciate)
GAS: Taped from Nickelodeon Games & Sports
USA: Taped from USA (DUH!)
NCK: Taped from Nickelodeon or Nick at Nite
ESN: Taped from ESPN
EN2: Taped from ESPN2
ENC: Taped from ESPN Classic
ENN: Taped from ESPNews
MTV: Taped from MTV
FAM: Taped from The Family Channel
TNT: Taped from TNT
G4: Taped from G4
WB: Taped from WB
TBS: Taped from TBS Superstation
TVL: Taped from TV Land
GDL: Taped from GoodLife TV Network
CBN: Taped from Christian Broadcasting Network
ION: Taped from Ion Television Network
NKT: Taped from Nicktoons Network
OD: Taped from On Demand
N: Taped from the N
BET: Taped from Black Entertainment Television

PART TWO: (Commercials):
Either "Yes," "No," or "Some." This is simple and really doesn't need to be explained any further.

PART THREE: (Video Quality):
All shows are assessed on a basic letter grade system, ranging from A (prestine) to F (forget it) and it looks something... like this:
VQ=? A low grade could be anything from TV snow, ghosts or shadows, jumpy or glitchy picture, bluriness, or just plain suckiness. Also, it's an estimation. No qualtiy grading system is perfect and all grades are subject to change at any time, but nothing will change from B+ to D+ or vice versa unless I get a better quality version of a given show.

Here are some examples:

[OB?, Yes, VQ=B+] That means that it might be an original broadcast, has commercials, and the video is of B+ quality.

[GSN, No, VQ=A] This means that it's from Game Show Network, doesn't have commercials, and is of the best video quality I have. Simple, simple stuff.


And now, on with the trades!
