Does anyone know where to get a tape of the original version of "The Handicap Spot" where John Randolph appeared as Frank Costanza? This would qualify as a "lost" episode, since we never see it anymore. (In syndication, of course, the scenes were reshot with Jerry Stiller, who did not actually start the role until the next season after it was orginally filmed). On tvtome it said that overseas in syndication they still see the original Randolph version.

I've seen John Randolph in many other shows and am curious to see how he played Frank. Although I am glad Jerry Stiller took the regular role (his scenes yelling at Estelle or George were among the series most funny moments) John Randolph physically looked more like Jason Alexander.

John Randolph can't be happy that he's cut out of syndication.
