    • Episode status

    One episode from October 1949 is stored at the Library of Congress, along with three other episodes from that year, plus an episode from 1950. There are five kinescope recordings of 1948 programs also archived at Library of Congress, and an interview with one of the people involved in the production appears on the Archives of American Television Web Site. However, these aging 64+ year old kinescope film prints have yet to be transferred to modern media to ensure the survival of the episodes.
