I guess the shows from the 60's were just kind of boring-lol The only show from the 60's I can tolerate is That Girl

I like the 60's. Gilligan, Green Acres, The Munsters, Hogans Heroes, The Beverly Hillbiles, Mister Ed, The Lucy Show, Andy Griffith, Get Smart, My Favorite Martian, Adam-12, The FBI, Flipper, The Flinstones, Laugh In, Gomer Pyle, Batman, The Man From U.N.C.L.E, The Fugitive. The 60's was a great decade for TV.

Hello! Thank You for the titles and whereabouts of the three other episodes on "My Living Doll." Would you know off hand if it would be possible to get these three episodes somehow? I sure would Love to watch them as I am sure many people would as well! Or are we out of luck because these are copyrighted?
Finally someone told me that "Julie Newmar" herself has Tried to get All of the episodes on this series But had No Luck! Not sure if this is just gossip or the plan truth! But if this is True then what chance do we T.V. viewers have in trying to save history and watch these Great episodes are self? Hopefully these shows Are still in a vault somewhere!

Well, I believe you can view them at UCLA. But getting copies is probably out of the question. Most archives have strict rules about that sort of thing and unless you are the copyright holder or otherwise have permission it is nearly impossible to get copies made. I actually have no idea who holds the copyright for the series.

I remember hearing that as well. A lot of actors and actresses try to put together collections of all their work and come up against missing episodes. It must be much more frustrating for them than it is for us, the television viewer. Imagine discovering that your hard work may be lost forever.

and some other magazines/newspapers that deal with old Film can help. sometimes i have picked up rare stuff on 8mm or 16mm film and then u have to arrange to have it transfered

ALSO it is 100% true about tv stars not being able to get their own shows
over the years, i have had over a dozen tv actors get copies of their shows from me, b/c the networks and studios were no help to them at all

a real shame how the tv stars of yesteryear are treated by those they work for--- i am 100% sure if a start like Brad Pitt wanted something he would get it right away, BUT if we are talking a star like Tim Conway, then maybe not so much effort to get it for him

Hello and again Thank You for this Great information on "My Living Doll." Its sounds like to me that the ONLY WAY us T.V. viewers can watch every episode on "My Living Doll" is to hope like Heck that someone Will see the profit value in releasing the episodes on commerical dvds. Otherwise we people who Love to watch these vintage shows are Sunk! Hopefully the Good Times are near and many, many long lost shows Will be released soon?
Finally I have heard that the current dvd's are Only going to be around for about eight years? I understand that there is a better product on the horizon which the people in Hollywood Land are pushing? If this is true than maybe we will have to wait even longer before more vintage shows are released pending the outcome of the new tech?

I liked the show myself. Brian Dennehy was the attraction. He was kind of like the Chief on Gimme a Break. Is he still acting?
