Harry's Girls - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

tv star collector · 09-02-2010, 09:14 AM

Harry's Girls (NBC; 1963-'64) was cancelled in mid-season and ran for
15 episodes. This sitcom focused on three female dancers (Susan Silo, Dawn
Nickerson and Diahn Williams) and their leader (Larry Blyden), who toured
Europe as a vaudeville act. The series was filmed on location and had the
misfortune to be scheduled opposite CBS's Twilight Zone.

Super rare show. Only thing I've ever been able to come up with are a couple of episodes with Spanish opening credits.

I was able to trade some comic books for three episodes ("The Director,"
"A Naval Affair" and "His Highness"), from Bob O'Brien. Try the link below.
Good luck!

Do they have full U.S. opening credits on them?

tv star collector · 03-08-2011, 10:56 AM

No. All three episodes only have the closing credits.

Just found out that all of the episodes are at Library of Congress on 3/4 inch tape.

A bit off-topic here, but can the US Copyright Office (which is part of the Library of Congress) be used as a last resort for finding the original network versions of TV shows on 3/4 inch tape, if the studios who own the shows don't have them?

For example, when Sony was putting together both seasons of That's My Mama, they should have gone with the 3/4 inch network version copies that were deposited to the Library of Congress, rather than use easily available transfers in their archives.

A) LOC does not necessarily keep copies of every episode of every series that is sent to them. Many times, they will only save a small sampling of a series and discard the rest.

B) No idea what format that show would have been sent to them on. Regardless, Sony has the 2-inch masters and had they been so inclined, they could have gone back and remastered from them. Instead, they just looked to do a cheapo release and used the elements that they had handy, which turned out to be cut for syndication tapes. If they really cared about the release, they could have just as easily used their own elements.

C) At the time that show would have been submitted for copyright, there is just as good a chance that it was sent in on 2-inch as on 3/4. So, its not likely that LOC has anything different than the same format Sony had that they were too cheap to bother using.
