Episode Status
The 1950s series is believed to have been wiped as per network practices. The March 20, 1958 and April 24, 1959 episodes are the only two known to exist of the original series.
The syndicated versions remain intact and are held by Sony Pictures Television (as they own the Chuck Barris library). GSN has aired sporadic episodes from the 1970s version and nearly all of the 1980s version.

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or status:
“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
