From the early "Doctor Who" to the first episode of "The Tonight show."

Thats a pretty good list. I could add various soap operas, sporting events as well. It is a little odd that a show like I Love Lucy has all its episodes intact, seen for over 50 yrs. and yet the shows on that list are gone.

There's been good work done in recent years to try to retrieve prints of shows that were previously believed to be lost -- sometimes overseas copies have been located.

Unfortunately, when something like Paul Winchell's work was deliberately wiped, its chances of being brought back diminish close to zero.

Mary Kaye and Johnny seemed like it would be a great show.
