Robin Byrd Show & other Public Access Shows [Moved]

[PenthouseFan]

I'm surprised there are not more threads here -- and more Internet sites -- dedicated to the performers who appeared on The Robin Byrd Show, the NYC public access show that featured numerous centerfolds and feature dancers in the 1980's and 1990's. Unless you lived in Manhatttan during that time, you couldn't get it as it was on Public Access somehow.

I would have thought that given the cult-like status (it was even parodied a few times on "Saturday Night Live") you would have had fan clubs or people with videotapes engaging in discussions of their favorite episodes, swapping episodes, digitalizing, etc. Instead.....nothing.

I believe there may have been other 'public access'-type TV shows on the West Coast but not sure if they featured dancers and centerfolds.

When the strip-club boom took off in 1990 and 1991 and I lived in Manhattan with my wife, we used to always see the women who would be appearing at Flashdancers, Goldfingers, and Scores showing up that week on The Robin Byrd Show. Haven't lived in NYC for over a decade now, so not sure if the show is just re-runs or what.

Anybody else here live in Manhattan NYC during that time ? Can not believe somebody doesn't have a nice inventory of VHS copies of the complete shows. Campy, funny, they had a hillarious section with Q&A and even some call-ins. Before that it was 2 or 3 girls (and guys) doing their dance routines. Some were real good and elaborate; others were cheap and trashy.

But all good memories !

I used to have almost all Robin Byrd's shows from 1985(?) until 1999 or 2000 on vhs (all male scenes and ads edited out). Hell, I had Tracy Lords appearance on her show. I also had all the adventures of Kitty g (and its follow up series), mutiple Midnight Blue interviews and performances (my fav. was Krista Lane dancing), the 2 black strippers show, In and Out With Dick,many episodes of Ugly George, the piercing show, episodes of the vampire show, Virgin models and a mix of oddities including the nude wrestling show and Variations on a Theme. I recently discovered Someone had tossed out my collection. I should have copied them to cd and dvd years ago like I had always planned. I can't find any of this stuff anywhere, not even EBay. Oh well.

I think I should post a request on Craiglist NY for people's vhs of these shows if they still have them.

sadly, no luck.
