I am sorry if I am repeating something that has been asked but...
I spoke to cloggedmind about this. He now says it’s more likely the reason why it’s being releleased is...
“Hoarding. This happens too often in the film collectors' circles. One gets hold of rare footage and is scared to let anyone near it for fear of devaluing the material. Best examples I know of are things like the Three Stooges Cartoon/live action combo films "Stooges Scrapbook" and "The Spain Mutiny". People have them but will not share, sell or allow viewing. 2 people have also claimed in the last 12 years to have superior 16mm copies of the Stooges' swansong "Kook's Tour" but allegedly could not agree on a ransom price.“

Me and cloggedmind are thinking WHO Or WHAT company has this copy of this episode That is preventing it from being released. CBS has been contacted but they said no. Could it be the Gleason family? I spoke to Jackie’s daughter and she claimed that CBS had the rights to those color sketches. When I told her that they don’t, she said she doesn’t know. Could it be in the hands of a private collectors? I once did a tape trade with a “dealer” in Florida who had the email tvmoviesandmore@yahoo.com who said he had it but he burned me.
