Well, I've just viewed the DVD of the 1958 episode of Concentration on which my dad appeared, which I found at the Library of Congress's holdings and which NBC gave me permission to have reproduced. (Some of you may remember this saga from my earlier posts.) I had very mixed emotions on seeing it. On the one hand, it was really quite amazing to see my dad on screen at the age of 31 (he looked sooooo young) and I wouldn't have missed seeing that for anything. On the other hand, it turned out that he was only on this episode (Thursday, Oct 9, 1958) for the last five minutes of the show! After all that effort and expense - none of which I begrudge at all but it's just disappointing that the episode that would have been even better to have would have been the one for Friday, Oct 10th, 1958. But strangely enough, that was the one episode missing from the sequence that the LoC had - Oct 9, 13, 14, and 15 (the 11th and 12th of course being weekend days when the show didn't air). Hmmmmm. Very mysterious. So I guess my quest continues! Any ideas???

Oi. After all that time and money and trouble and money and effort (not to mention money).
I guess your quest will end with NBC - if the Oct. 10, 1958 episode isn't at the Library of Congress, then your only remaining hope is that NBC still has it.
Since you have an "in" with the Peacock Network, you might want to give it one last try.
One last point: Are you absolutely sure there was an Oct. 10 episode to begin with? Is it possible that the show was preempted that Friday? Did the LoC provide a rundown for the Mon., Oct. 13 program?
