MRPITT is honest, so you’ll be fine, but the first rule of negotiation is never open with “I’ll pay anything!”

Hi, just saw this post. I'm also looking for the 2-part episode of Name Of The Game, I Love You Billy Baker Parts 1 and 2 which was Tony Franciosa's last episode of the series. They are two of the 13 so far unaired episodes of NOTG on US TV in syndication because of "clearance" issues. Please let me know if you have them and can either trade or copy for blank disc/cost of time and postage. Thanks. You can contact me at:

jim72954@aol.com

At present, from 4 different collector sets I have 53 episodes of NOTG with
at least 11 others from collectors, making a grand total of 63 complete
episodes and 1 partial episode from Season 3 that is missing the ending.

I am also missing 11 other episodes of NOTG from Seasons 2 and 3.
Titles upon request. Any assistance you can give me would be most
greatly appreciated.

Hi siblis,
I have all of those NOTG episodes from the 4 collector sets I have bought online in past (Sell.com/the now-defunct Ioffer/Etsy). Just got the following episodes from a UK collector and a NOTG fan in the US on Facebook but they are not in very good shape:

Season 1-
Lola In Lipstick (Gene Barry) (film) (digital TV format-black bars at top & bottom of the screen)
The Revolutionary (Gene Barry) (same)
The Suntan Mob (Robert Stack) (same)
(this gives me all of Season 1)

Season 2-
The Prisoner Within (Tony Franciosa) (same)
The Power (Robert Stack) (really bad shape, barely watchable) (Full Screen)
The Skim Game (Robert Stack) (digital TV format, black bars)
Man Of The People (Gene Barry) (Full Screen)
Echo Of A Nightmare (Robert Stack) (Full Screen) (Cozi TV airing)

Season 3-
The Savage Eye (Robert Stack) (digital TV format, missing episode title/
guest stars/producer-writer credits, starts at "Directed by....", missing
beginning scene) (found that on Youtube)
The Broken Puzzle (Gene Barry) (digital TV format)
and an incomplete version of Battle Of Gannon's Bridge (Robert Stack)
from film, digital TV format, missing the second half (missing film reel)

Unfortunately, the 2 part Billy Baker episode is not among these.

There are 13 NOTG episodes from Seasons 2 and 3 that are presently still missing and unaccounted for that were never shown on either Encore Mystery (also now defunct) channel or Cozi TV due to the above aforementioned "clearance issues" involving background music ownership rights which incidentally prevented the attempted 2014 official Season 1
NOTG DVD release by the currently closed Timeless Media Group that
was cancelled by Shout Factory in 2016 when they bought out TMG.
These 13 episodes (mentioned in my previous post) would only be
available from either film prints or 80's TV syndication broadcasts.
The 2-part Billy Baker episode is included in the missing 13, alas.

Somebody out there has got to have the complete version of I Love You Billy Baker Parts 1 and 2 because there are only clips of it posted on Youtube.

Member MR. PITT, do you have the complete version of the 2 part
I Love You Billy Baker episode? I saw the previous post....

So far I have not found either those or the remaining 11 missing episodes
(counting the incomplete Battle Of Gannon's Bridge from Season 3,
the count would be adjusted to 14 episodes; it might as well be 14
since the second half is missing from it).

Those 14 episodes are among the episodes with "clearance issues" regarding background music ownership rights that can't be shown on TV in syndication. At my count there are 41 total. The other 35 have been shown on either
Encore Mystery channel (kaput) or Cozi TV (which dropped NOTG from
their program schedule, hasn't been shown since the early 2000's).

To refresh the memory, the above is the original post from member MR. PITT.
It's been quite a while back now. Are you still active? At least three people on this forum are looking for these 2 episodes of NOTG.

I had emailed him after he posted that and he said he made a mistake and mislabeled the episodes. So no, he doesn't have them.

Rats.... Just our luck.

Were you looking for the other episodes of NOTG?
I am missing 12 total and looking for improved versions of 2 other
episodes that are presently incomplete. I have 63 full versions
(some have been edited for content) and the 1 incomplete episode
Battle Of Gannon's Bridge from Season 3 (missing the second half,
the film reel was missing). All were obtained in the collectors market
(Sell.com, Ioffer-defunct, Etsy, etc.)

Fyi, there were 39 episodes of NOTG that were never aired on either
Cozi TV and Encore Mystery in syndication (90's, early 2000's respectively)
due to "clearance issues" regarding background music ownership rights.
The 11 I have found so far (previously 53 between 4 collectors sets I have that I bought online in past years) are from 80's syndication TV airings/
film prints, most in not so great but watchable condition overall.

That's what I said, too:( And I wasn't looking for any others. The reason I wanted those 2 episodes is because Ike & Tina Turner appear in them and I'm a huge Tina fan.

Hello! I am looking for the following episodes of The Name of The Game:

-I Love You, Billy Baker Parts 1 & 2 (November 20 and 27, 1970)

Hi,
I'm responding to your post on Name Of The Game.
I wish I could help you, but I don't have the I Love You, Billy Baker
episode at all. However, like you I have been looking for it, so far
without any success unfortunately.

I'm writing to inquire if you have any episodes of NOTG available for trade.
What I basically have are 53 episodes of the series and the 1966 pilot movie
from assorted collectors sets I've purchased in past years. The quality of
most I would call good/watchable, while others from VHS transfers and
syndication film prints dating back to the 80's are of "barely watchable/
better than nothing quality". I recently acquired 10 additional episodes
not in any of the sets (full versions) of similar quality (the latter) and an
incomplete episode from Season 3 (Battle Of Gannon's Bridge) which is
missing the second half of its original film reel (missing, presumed lost).

Between these, I now have 63 more or less complete episodes of NOTG;
I am missing 12, 13 if you count the incomplete Battle Of Gannon's Bridge.
Sadly the missing 12 includes both parts of I Love You, Billy Baker. All I've
ever seen are clips from it; it must be out there somewhere in the collectors market
if someone has clips, but I sure don't know where it is.

If you have any episodes, please let me know the titles. I would imagine you
have the same episodes I do but then again, you never know. You could have
something different than I have at present. I am in the process of
remastering what I have, upgrading poor quality opening credits and
recording them one episode each on a disc for the best possible quality.
The sets had them 2 or 3 or 4--even 5--to a disc which is not advisable.
I'm trying to get the episodes as close as possible to how they were
originally aired back in the day.

Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wish I could do more.
Hope to hear from you.

Black Sheep One. :)

When he checked to see if he had them, he said they were mislabeled and that he didn’t have them after all.

I’m still holding out hope that it does because of this video that’s been on YouTube for years that’s a snippet of one of the episodes: https://youtu.be/mPLZYwyErN8

It’s gotta be out there somewhere.

I’m pretty sure these 2 episodes were rerun back in the early 1980s....not sure about anything later than that. I wish someone had the original broadcasts. I’m sure they’re out there.
