what is one show on your want list that you can't find? the one thing that I cant find is a complete set of Diff'rent Strokes.

for me it is the Vacation Playhouse. It was an anthology series that just aired pilots.

the fbi

bits and pieces here and there, no sets or even fillers avaible

Since most of my wants are prior 1980's, there are MANY shows I can't find. It's difficult to say if it's because I just haven't found someone who has them or if they are no longer in existance. :(

Would love to somehow get complete set of Gimme a Break
or Family Ties

My holy grail has always been uncut NBC network broadcasts of Grizzly Adams with original network commercials and promos intact.

Aj

Yes! My Number One Show That NOBODY Taped And Saved Was STAR OF THE FAMILY-1982 Starring Brian Dennehy And Kathy Maisnik! The ONLY Thing I Ever Have Found On It Was The Pilot Show! Although Only Eight Or Nine Episodes aired On This Show NOBODY Seemed To Have Recorded It At All Sadly!
I Loved This Sitcom! It Got Me Through Some Hard Times Back Then!

ah, I see.

I guess my holy grail would be the 1960s series That's Life, with Robert Morse and EJ Peaker. I don't think it exists.

Another one would be more episodes of My Living Doll, a series I adored as a kid.

Glad I was able to Help with the One you do have

Whoa, that news about My Living Doll is amazing! Thank you for pointing me toward that thread. Let's hope it's true, and not someone pulling our collective chains.

I truly believe that if you're patient enough, you'll eventually find everything you're looking for. The Zen of Video Collecting ...

some shows are like that and just dont show up

FBI they seem to skip many eps all the time

LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY one ep is no longer shown for some reason

MANNIX, the last 2 years are not available for syndication for some reason

THE EQUALIZER is being shown on SLEUTH every day, BUT they only show ssn 1 and 2, over and over and over

who knows why these things are as they are.....

It's because shows are sold in packages, not as a whole. And some shows may be glommed in with something else, so someone has the rights to them, but no interest in showing them.

I recently finished up a set of the 101 Dalmatians cartoon series, and there was one episode that hasn't aired in the US since 9/11, because one of the characters believes she's going to die - TPTB at Disney decided that was too sensitive to show small children any longer in the post-9/11 world. Right or wrong, the episode was pulled from rotation. I ended up finding someone who had a recording of it from Canada, and that's how I was finally able to finish the series - coincidentally, not long before Disney pulled the show off rotation entirely on Toon Disney. I was thrilled to get the episode, and was very generous in exchange, 'cos I just hated having that gap! :>

What's the Laverne and Shirley episode that isn't shown? It's running in syndication on a local channel, and I could keep a look out for it, just in case.

the LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY episodes is
CITIZEN KRANE
from season 2
BUT padre posted a link awhile ago to a paramount statement about the ep not being available
so i dont know
IF u can find it let me know
ID LOVE TO GET IT!!!!

The holy grail of all westerns, Whispering Smith, with Audie Murphy. I have the pilot and I was told that Murphy in a drunken fit destoyed all the episodes. Someone I trade with tells me a lady he trades with has 12 of the episodes and she will convert them. This guy is very reliable, as I have gotten many rare items from the 50's and 60's from him, so I have my fingers crossed.

It's nice going to the mailbox and besides the usual bills receiving some nice items. The fun part of the hobby.

Harvey

Lamont - Alas, the channel I have showing L&S is the same channel Padre has access to, so I guess that's not going to help after all. Sorry.

probably Mr Merlin from 1981, starring Clark Brandon - i don't know if anyone has it, but i doubt it'll turn up.

There are at least 16 episodes of Mr. Merlin circulating amongst traders. I think someone said recently that they actually have 19. So, you have a fair chance of locating at least some episodes.

I only have the one hour Mr. Merlin pilot from CBS FYI. I loved the show when I was a kid.

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed that...

Anyway, I would give one of my smaller toes (note: kidding) for even an incomplete episode of Mary Kay and Johnny.

I forgot you don't miss anything. BTW i'm not following anyone around, I have email notification and I reply to the last post.

Well Mr. Self proclaimed TVResearcher if you knew anything about TV you would know that the just recently passed Barnard Hughes was Mr. Merlin and he also starred in a great 80's series called the Cavanaughs and another good one in the 70's called Doc. Elaine Joyce was also in this series as she was host of The Dating Game one of the few game shows I ever watched and she has a very solid career resume appearing on TONS of tv shows, soap operas over the past 35 years or so. She was also married to Neil Simon and Bobby Van and wasnt bad looking either.

Clark Brandon was on several Facts of Life episodes and the Out of the Blue tv series (something I THINK you were looking for at one time) but why am I telling you this because you know everything Mr. TV Researcher.

But I shall excuse Mr. TV Researcher's ignorance with the fact he probably isnt old enough to remember this series, so I'll give him that.

I have to agree, wasn't old enough to view this in 1981

Mr. Merlin's one of those shows I'd like to see, but missed it consistently when it was on the air.

I loved Bernard Hughes in Doc. He really perfected the crotchety old codger with the heart of gold. While I was never a big fan of Clark Brandon, he was one of the big teen heartthrobs at the time. I didn't realize Elaine Joyce was in that - man, now I'm really sorry I missed it.

Glad I was able to Help with the One you do have
YES! You Were And Still Are A Big Help To Me For Having This One Pilot Show For Me! It Took Me Almost 24 Years To Find Just One Episode On This Series!

My holy grail (now, and apparently for the rest of my life) is Mr. Terrific (1967).

This show played complete on WGN in Chicago in the late '90s around 6:00 every night for about six months. Someone may have taped if off of there. Had I known how rare it was, I would have myself, as I really enjoyed the show.

Mine would have to be Davis Rule. '91 series starring Randy Quaid and Bonnie Hunt.

I learned that's the only way really rare shows are found

so many out there
hard to pick just one

What about "Park Place"

Andy Williams (from the 60's/early 70's)
American Bandstand (from the early-mid 70's)
Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour
Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, & Dinah (from the 70's)
Nanny & The Professor
Please Don't Eat The Daisies

Now that's a primo list. Yeah, I'd love to see any one of those shows again.

I have a fairly large collection of these:

Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour
Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, (from the 70's)

and some Andy Williams Shows as well.

Davis Rules? I remember watching that when I was in high school. I think Jonathan Winters was also on that show. Wasn't it on after Roseanne?

what is one show on your want list that you can't find? the one thing that I cant find is a complete set of Diff'rent Strokes.

Mine is You Wrote It, You Watch It. It's a recent show too, I think it was on during 1992 on MTV, when they were just starting to do TV shows and were still mostly showing videos. It had sketches done by the cast of The State, which is a show that seems to be easier to find episodes of, unlike this show that The State previously appeared on. For those who never saw it, it was basically a show where Jon Stewart read viewer mail, usually with funny stories from peoples' pasts or from their youth and as the letters were read, the stories were acted out by the cast of The State. I think it only lasted one season. Jon Stewart went on to have his own talk show on MTV, then on national TV before eventually appearing in movies and then of course, The Daily Show. The State went on to do their own sketch comedy on MTV, called The State and then pretty much disbanded to do different projects like the movie Wet Hot American Summer and the TV shows Viva Variey, Random Play and now Reno 911!. This is pretty much the only show on my want list that nobody seems to have. Hopefully, the talks of The State being released commercially on DVD by Viacom, along with the You Wrote It, You Watch It episodes will someday come to fruition. Until then, I keep checking The State's official website for any news updates.

Davis Rules? I remember watching that when I was in high school. I think Jonathan Winters was also on that show. Wasn't it on after Roseanne?

The first season was on ABC so quite possible.

I watched when it moved to CBS for it's second season. That was on a Wednesday. One of my all time favorite tv block ever when The Wonder Years and Doogie Howser was airing on that night aswell.

Turnabout is my #1. I was 9 and watched it every week for the few weeks it was on. I think there is only one episode out there saved unless someone taped it. I believe i and about 24 other people were watching NBC that season so I would be shocked if anyone has it. Would love to have Supertrain and Hello Larry and any complete night blocks taped from nbc 79 season.

Are you talking about the Sharon Gless series called Turnabout??

I have a few Supertrain episodes all taped on NBC back then as well as Hello Larry off NBC and some NBC primetime blocks as well.

Aj

I'd love to obtain the complete series of the 50's short lived show Glynis with Glynis Johns.

Also would love to obtain the complete series of Temperatures Rising about 40 episodes were made but only 4 or 5 seem to be in existance.

If anyone has any of these three shows, please feel free to contact me and maybe we can set up a trade. Take care. Jim

Turnabout

But I have given up looking. Waiting for it to find me now.

the holy grail... its somewhere... surely someone had a tape rolling in february 1979 for no good reason....

yep thats the one...

My Holy Grail?

Two Animated TV Series that were shown on ABC Saturday Morning from 1969 to 1971.

Hot Wheels

Skyhawks

Both shows were taken off the air in 1971 after a "Do Gooder" Group called Action for Children's Television persuaded the FCC to declare both series to be "Program Length Commercials" and order them cancelled.:mad: :angryfire

A couple of years ago I was able to acquire 4 Episodes of Hot Wheels and 3 Episodes of Skyhawks on "Homemade DVDs". :D If they ever made all episodes from both shows available I'll buy them in a heartbeat! :cool:

Mine is The Gray Ghost, a 1959 Civil War series about John Mosby that aired in reruns through most of the 60's. My favorite childhood show -- I grew up in Mosby country.

Over the years I've acquired 14 of the 39 eps plus the 4 minute trailer.
I also have over 20 discs from sources claiming to have 15, 17, 19, 25, 35 and 39 eps. They have all turned out to be some or all of the same 14 eps, under a variety of titles.

Expectations are low, but hope springs eternal.

i am looking for the new tom green show aired on mtv back in 2003 also 2ghter starring kevin farley about a spoof boy band circa 2000. does any one out there have these shows i dont care if there of torrents or what not i cant find any one out there that has this show. please contact me at jstruchko@yahoo.com thank you.

does this help found this on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32dSh6EvKIg sorry if does not

does this help wise 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32dSh6EvKIg

I would like to get more episodes to Winchell mahoney time,I have 3 and saw 3 others listed in the UCLA library.It is said that all were destroyed,but I havent given up. I am also looking for; Tales of the black cat and Rod brown of the rocket rangers, also said to be gone forever.

I have these eps, jeffcool, but thanks for pointing them out

dh 1973 hub has it http://www.hubworld.com/

sure no problem.

I would love to find any episodes of "For Love And Honor", a short lived series set on an Army base that ran on NBC in late 1983 through early 1984. I think it came on after "The A-Team" and "Riptide" on Tuesday nights.

I would also love to find an uncut copy of the ABC airing of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" where they ran the movie over two nights and re-edited the order of the scenes and added voice-over narration. This version first aired in 1976 and I think it re-aired in this version one more time in 1980.

My number one Holy Grail show to find would still be

THE PRUITT'S OF SOUTHAMPTON

I have only come across 3 of the 29 episodes, yet my understanding is that this show did air in syndication during the 80's over in the UK. I would love to find more episodes of this!

My Holy Grail would definitely be:

Ed McMahon's Star Search especially from the late 80s early 90s.
