Have any of the Ed Sullivan segments been officially released on DVD or VHS?

Are you referring to the 1952 sketches with Pert Kelton?

Yes. Those.... I did a lot of searcing for the Sullivan discs/tapes that are out there and none of them are described anywhere that I can find, except when they discuss Elvis or the Beatles. So any help would be appreciated!

I'm not sure if they've ever been officially released, but they did get out there somehow because I have both of them.

On a Sullivan retrospective I remember seeing a clip of Gleason on the show doing a Fenwick sketch, but as far as I know the Honeymooners clips from the Sullivan show are only on public domain releases. Save for a brief clip on the 35th Anniversary special from 1990. (And when I say brief, I mean very brief! They say it's a clip from a DuMont show, but I believe it's from the Sullivan show.)
