Burt's been posting uncut shows once a week on YouTube on the offical THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL Channel (Free, no original ads) - so the shows will be turning up. Friday Nights at 8pm EST - currently in May, 1974.

https://www.youtube.com/@themidnightspecialtvshow

Some shows (also one a week) are also being posted (Way) in advance for a subscription fee of $4.99 in advance of eventual free posting. Usually 1-3 years later than current free shows

Burt's doing this on his own - he's in his 80's now...and still close to 290 odd shows left to post.

I have actually been following his channel since they started uploading early last year!! Thank you so much for the kind info, though! I guess in my case, patience will have to be a virtue I acquire to be able to wait for the episodes I want to be posted, LOL!
