on the not-too-distant tape shelf

[arethinn]

I currently have 102 episodes of MST3K (out of a possible 194*), on 73 tapes. That's not too shabby from a geek perspective, but bad from a shelf space perspective. I'm really running out of room, here. On the other hand, they won't be increasing any time soon unless I start buying episodes from the several trader-types out there, because there's only one more Rhino-released episode that I don't already have (209, The Hellcats).

But yikes. I never actually counted before.

(* - There were 198 episodes made, but nobody seems to have any copies of the first four, so I don't consider those among the possible.)

have you asked over on the MST3K community? i'm pretty sure some of the old-skool MSTies might have those eps...

*shakes head* They're not merely rare; the official verdict from the Satellite News is "no fan copies are known to exist". Of course the masters still do, deep under Jim Mallon's mattress or wheverever they are, but no one's touchin' them. Someone out there might have tapes, but they're either living under a rock, or hiding their treasure from the world at large.
