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.

Someone out there must have them because these YouTube videos are from those episodes

Please let me know if you have these episodes! I'll pay anything!

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 have been looking for that 2-part episode to the name of the Game for 20 years, I'm starting to think it doesn't exist

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.

[ltm1997]

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.

[ltm1997]

They could be in any video format BTW.
