I sent this in to tvshowsondvd but they didn't post it for whatever reason. I was away last week and stumbled across RFD, a channel which I don't receive on FIOS. They were running remastered kinescopes of the ABC Jimmy Dean Show and ran a commercial for a Season 1, Volume 1 DVD release. For the bargain price of $130, you can get 15 season one episodes. Here's the link: https://www.thejimmydeanshow.com/
Now of course, since it was a Bob Banner produced show, as with anything he produced, like Garry Moore, etc., not a stitch of videotape survives as he was too cheap to do so, so all that remains are black and white kines. From what I'm reading, only 5 episodes have not been found, so I'm assuming they will have further releases. If they do another 4 or 5 sets with the remainder of the surviving 86 shows, you can get the whole series for around $1,000.
