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 At 04:06 PM 7/2/2005 -0500, you wrote: >Dear colleagues: > >Anyone out there know who might sell on video the 3 old television programs >(episodes) listed below?
