Well, at least there's the Carson's Comedy Classics reruns on ReelzChannel (though they've already cycled through the whole (?) package a couple times already,

Oh, yes, I'd love to see complete shows again, but it's never gonna happen. Set aside all the 'corporate' concerns (about all the topical stuff, modern audiences won't care, be bored, whatever). There are many logistical problems that would make complete shows so cost-prohibitive that no one...

No idea, but I'd have assumed that there were at least enough made to strip at least one syndication season's worth (usually about 35-37 week), so I'd guess at least 175, if not more. Anybody know if these compilations were produced for more than one season? The copyright date given on the...

To be fair, the reason they did that was the rampant piracy on eBay. There was one guy selling multiple copies of multiple complete shows from the early '70s (not just 'recouping his costs'). I know, I noticed the listings and kept seeing the same ones getting relisted. Much as I hated to see...

They were selling complete shows on VHS, but not timecoded or anything like that. They were the real deal, complete with the original national commercials. If I remember right, pricing was about $100 or 125 per show, and $75 for each additional show (but no more than four at a time). That's what...

I guess it's just easier for them to re-release this material, which has had all of its clearances taken care of, than to assemble a new collection, obtain guest and music clearances, send out contracts, etc. In other words, laziness. As others have said, it's a shame that they're not at...

And that was not a complete episode (much to my disapppointment), but a highlight reel of that episode. It's less than half the length of a regular episode, if I recall right. Since it was recovered from a military film print (a "color kinescope" made from the original, now presumed destroyed...

I just wish the Carson estate would try to work out some deal to get the complete shows back on TV on one of the cable channels. You'd think this would be a great on, say, TV Land at 11:30pm?! Heck, I'd even settle for them re-syndicating the old "sketches-only" half-hour Carson's Comedy...
