I was told by Shokus a distributor of "classic tv" that "about 10 years ago CBS demanded that they stop distibuting the programs, and that CBS had promised the NAACP that the tape would be destroyed." I have managed to locate a feature film with the white actors from the radio series playing the parts in blackface. But I'd very much like to find copies of the 50's tv program. Also was there a Gene Autry TV series in the 50's--- and does anyone have a source for tapes. Thanks.
