Actual conversations! You've got to love the oldies.

Substitute 91: The 1968-1975 videotaped episodes were all erased or "wiped," daily, until 1976, by ABC. Two July 1969 episodes exist and no more until Kevin's birth in 1976.

You're part right. ABC wiped masters but did kinescopes of every one from 68-70 for affiliates. About a dozen eps are @ the UCLA archives from the early 70's. And one of my subscribers has 3 eps from 71 and 2 from 73. So there are more than the 3 eps you said floating around.

@marcowuzmypimp Thank you for the FYI! That is not what an article in the NY Times said when I did my research for a college paper, but you are right. I just checked. There are several dozen, and how said it is that ABC cannot get its hands on them for re-broadcast!

@marcowuzmypimp By the way, which subcribers? I want to see young Erica Slezak and hope to catch a glimpse of Meredith Lord and Tommy Lee Jones as Dr. Mark.

@robinnnnnnnnnnnn That is really a shame. However, who would have thought that here in 2011 we would have wanted to see those eps.?  No one had any idea.

May I ask, is this before or after Joe's car crash that he was presumed dead? Which, later after Viki was about the marry Steve Burke, she found out Joe was alive, right? Sorry, but can anyone tell me where i can find all those classic scene/episodes of Viki/Joe? I only like her with Clint and Joe :)

Joe wrecked & was presumed dead in 1970. My shows are all after in 1978. Joe died for real in 1979.

[entertainme3000]

@substitute91 This was way after that. This was 1978. Joe was presumed dead from 70-72.

This is amazing. I remember watching this when I was a kid and trying to come up with excuses so I could miss school! Thank you so much for sharing these videos.
