Episode Status
All but nine episodes of the original 1969–1973 series are believed to have been wiped by NBC as per network practices of the era. The surviving nine episodes are held by the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
It is not clear, however, how much of the 1980's series is available (although the series is presumed intact). The daily syndicated series exists in its entirety and was rerun on USA Network in the 1990s. Most, if not all, of the episodes from December 1987 until the end of the series in March 1989 are known to exist as well, as USA also ran a majority of these and GSN began running the final 65 episodes from 1988-1989 on April 1, 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or status:
“Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
