Anyone remember the short lived science fiction sitcom "My Living Doll" that starred Julie Newmar who plays a life like android? It originally aired on CBS from September 27, 1964 to March 17, 1965.

So far only 11 out of 26 episodes of this series have been released. Apparently the original 35 mm negatives were destroyed in the 1994 Northridge earthquake in the Los Angeles California area.

The 11 episodes that have been released are 16 mm prints that were owned by collectors. Wish they could find more episodes of the series.

Veteran actor Robert Cummings was her co-star. He left before the season ended.

I saw some movies Cummings made but none of his TV shows.

The wife and I watched the episodes they have on Prime, it was a fun show.

Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager was named after Julie Newmar's character: Robot AF709

I'm guessing that Prime only has 11 episodes also since nobody has been able to locate anymore additional prints/episodes of the show.
