In case you are wondering, I am talking about the short Color sketches from the late 60s and the "Incredible World Of Ed Norton." (I know. What a shock. Hahaha!)

I called up Jackie Gleason's daughter (Geraldine Chutuk) and I asked about them. She said that CBS has the rights to air them. I called CBS and they said that they don't have them. When I told Geraldine that CBS doesn't have them, she said that she doesn't know who does.

I than called up Paul Brownstein Productions and left a message regarding the short sketches. No one called me back. I got told by T-Greg that Paul Brownstein HAD the rights to the Color Honeymooners and ASM for decades but since no network wanted them, he may have given them up.

I am wondering right now, who does have the rights to these sketches and who in particular has them? They certainly can't be in the public domain.

It makes no sense that anyone other than the Gleason estate would have the rights at this point. They licensed a clip from a non-Honeymooners episode from the 60s to MPI for a George Carlin release years ago, so they don't just own the 42 hour-longs.
