Extancy of the show

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm disappointed that the article does not address the extancy of episodes of the show, or anything relating to home video releases or lack thereof. A respondent to a recent question on Quora alleges that at one point Skelton had ordered the destruction of all recordings of the show; in defiance of said order, the network retained a couple hundred of them for posterity, and that in any case, Skelton had a reputation for making such requests facetiously and no one was sure whether to take this one seriously. This is in any case one Quora user's account that is unlikely to qualify as a reliable source, but if someone knows of any reliable sources that address the extancy of the original recordings of the show or their availability in home media, could you please add it to the article? Thanks. mwalimu59 (talk) 19:26, 27 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
