At Ryn's suggestion, I am starting this thread as a place for folks to request and exchange tapes of BB.

I am looking for tapes of the complete first and second seasons- and I'm willing to pay (is that legal? Or will CBS get pissy about this??) Anyway, if someone can help please respond.

Also, if you are looking for tapes of one show or whole seasons, this is your spot!

FYI: There is a 'USENet News Group' called alt.binaries.tv.big-brother which has been posting computer copies of the BB shows. At this time, Big Brother 2 - USA Episodes 7, 8 and 6(reposted) are all online. You will need the right tools to access these file. I also suggest a fast internet connection as these files end up between 150 - 200 Megabytes in size. There is a good amount if information and instructions on accessing the USENet news groups on USENet.org website. Good luck.

Edit to add: I saw a few messages in this newsgroup recently that indicated there are plans to post the entire season 2 and then probably season 1. They also post various other shows in there, such as currently you can find the Series 2 from Australia. This is also where I found video of the shows within hours of them actually airing this past season.

Draheid, thank you for the information. However, I fear I lack the tech savvy to make use of the opportunity!! I'd like to learn...but...would still prefer the VHS dinosaur, if it is out there to be had.

(Unless, Draheid, you volunteer to be my personal tech sensei?!?!?! No pay, but endless laughs)

I have all of BB2. I have all of BB3, but it will take me a long time to go through them and dub them without commercials.

Email me.

Oh...I am also looking for BB1. I think I only have the last episode, so I'll take anything I can get.

In addition to what Draheid stated (which is a very good source for getting both clips and episodes), you can also download them from IRC (Dalnet, #bigbrother3live2air or #bigbrother4).


Alternatively, you can get them via peer-to-peer client kazaa or grokster

http://www.kazaa.com/us/index.php
http://www.grokster.com/


Instruction for kazaa.
1. Download the client and run the install
2. Run the client, do a search on BigBrother or Big Brother, limiting the format to video only

Depending on who is online at the moment, you may find a selection of BB3US episodes.

On the Usenet group, they posted every bb3 uk episode, and the episodes of their bb news show 'BBLB' Big Brother's Little Brother where they interviewed the evicted hg's and celebrities that watched the show. They also posted all of bb2 oz and every episode bb3 usa. A guy is now posting his old bb1 episodes as he finds them around his house. They also posted all the Uncut uk dvd's.
