Stephen -- have you checked with the archivists at the Wisconsin Center for 
Film and Theater Research? We do have a lot of early television programs in 
the WCFTR and in the Wisconsin Historical Society collections.

You can access part of the catalogue online at 
http://arcat.library.wisc.edu/.  I just plugged in "You Are There" and got 
several hits -- more if you go to the Finding Aids search at 
http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/ead-idx?page=simple&c=shs.  They 
aren't catalogued down to individual episode level, but maybe the context 
will ring a bell for you.  You can also contact one of the archive 
assistants -- Dorinda Hartmann is one of my graduate students who works 
there and is very knowledgeable  ([log in to unmask]) -- and they can do a 
search.

Good luck with this -- Michele
