I got a hold of an episode of his 1968 Variety Show a few weeks ago. It was actually pretty good. Jim Nabors was the guest. It is in black and white, but it is better than nothing. I also got an unsold pilot with Don Rickles from 1966 too. Now if only we could find his sitcom.

I swear I saw the Don Rickles Show on someone's list before. Maybe Tom Kleindschmidt??

No, it wasn't him. I did a trade with him in June and was hoping he would have it, but he didn't.

I think the Don Rickles Show is in the same category as the New Bill Cosby Show, both are non-existent-lo

I still can't get over Mr T and Tina was found. I thought that one was lost for sure.

Don Rickles wrote a book recently, I'll look for it and see if he makes any references to any of his shows. Maybe it will say something like "The show is so bad that I have the only copies of it on 16MM at my house". That would expain everything if that was the case-lol
