And now in the other thread, an episode of Jeopardy! from the syndicated 1974-75 season has turned up. Thank goodness for YouTube, I say!!

As I posted in its own thread (because frankly it needed one), I'm happy to report an episode of the 1974-76 run of High Rollers is now publicly available for viewing!!

Two-and-a-half month bump, but I think this is worth it: as seen in the "YouTube finds that don't warrant an entire thread" thread, an episode of Feather Your Nest (an NBC daytime series that ran from 1954-56) surfaced a few months back.

Merged the thread I just made with the episode status thread for (obvious) reasons. Mainly because I didn't see the status thread here to begin with.

A few comments about that MeTV article: * The subheader claims DuMont threw out its archive in the '70s...except DuMont was long gone by then. The real culprit was most likely Metromedia, DuMont's successor, which had no problem with trashing stuff out of spite (see Paul Winchell's lawsuit). * The Search For Tomorrow cast performed live in 1983 just once, on August 4, and then only because that day's master tape had gone missing. (Though given the show's ratings issues, the article might be right in wondering if it was a publicity stunt.) * Great job ignoring Steve Allen's era (aka "the first era") of The Tonight Show. * How is The Magnificent Marble Machine an "important TV show"? Back to the main topic, an episode of Auction-Aire (an ABC game show that ran from 1949-50) surfaced online about a week ago thanks to the ever-awesome Stu Shostak. |

* How is The Magnificent Marble Machine an "important TV show"? Someone says he has the entire series on betamax. That must have been one tape at a time he recorded each episode on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn01034ftPUApparently, Heatter-Quigley wanted to keep that show in their video archives. It had been rerun for awhile (March 15-June 11, 1976), and it even appeared in the movie The China Syndrome (clips of Joan Rivers operating the machine). But then in 1978, it became too much for them to archive due to storage reasons, so they decided to allow NBC to wipe the tapes. |

Someone says he has the entire series on betamax. That must have been one tape at a time he recorded each episode on. *checks YouTube link* ...You've got to be kidding me. I got all the episodes of this show I recorded them on my Betamax VCR, if anyone wants, I will sell them for 1000$ per episode. I prefer you contact Paley Center for Media first I don't gotta contact anyone as far as I know no one has these videos anymore so I'm basically the new owner of this video and I'll probably list them for sale on ebay soon. So either sspoke was/is trying to scam people, or he's the textbook definition of a money-grubbing hoarder. Either way, I don't trust this guy. |

I can't find it. Link please? Also, is there an exact date? It's the video labeled "TV Broadcast" with a runtime of over three hours. Auction-Aire is at 1:01:25. Date seems to be October 7, 1949. I've just made a post on it over in the "YouTube finds that don't warrant an entire thread" thread. |

Per the other thread (I argue the episode's discovery deserved its own thread but c'est la vie), another episode of Wheel of Fortune from the Chuck Woolery era has now been discovered, the August 13th, 1980 episode!!

Also, three missing episodes of What's My Line? exist at UCLA's archives. And yours truly has viewed them all last Summer:
Partial episode from April 6, 1952 (w/Paul Winchell)
October 2, 1960 (w/Kirk Douglas and Mickey Rooney)
The 800th episode from January 23, 1966 (w/Maury Wills and Dinah Shore; poor audio throughout)

This has been an interesting few weeks, as some more Woolery Wheel fun has been found and is online now. The Armed Forces Week stuff is from either 1978 or 1979 it looks like.

The latest batch of Woolery Wheel episodes had me thinking: Just how many game show episodes were taped by the general public from the mid 1970's to the end of the 1980's?
Yeah, I know it's a very broad question, but here's the thing: Michael Pannoni says more people were taping movies back then than everything else, because they all felt their favorite movies would never get a video release. Well, there certainly were plenty of people taping game show episodes way back when. Not as many as movies, but more than just a few.
This is not a disrespect of Michael Pannoni, as I am subscribed to, and love all of his channels.
