Good point. If it was on A&E, there’d be “privacy room” interviews to the camera and someone getting voted off every week.

VCR it is then! Better than nothing.

Did I miss why you aren’t getting a DVR? Ours was like $7 a month, from our cable company\*. That’s less than you’ll spend on VHS tapes.  
\*On top of the other ~$110 a month rabblerabblefuckingmonopolies :mad:

[Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=429572)’s the earliest thread I could find.

Episode by episode threads started in Season 2. [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=477259)’s the one for the first episode of that season.

If you search using “Draper” within Cafe Society, you should be in good shape.

We have satellite but, at the time when we picked the plan, receiver, etc it just didn’t sound like anything I’d use. To be fair to myself, this will probably be the first thing I’ve taped in about five years. I don’t typically follow TV shows.
