$227? I didn't know Jackee pitched in :P. Awful jokes aside, congratulations on your newfound treasure!

It will be fascinating to see.     1975 may seem late in time for there to be kinescopes of anything but Armed Forces TV was still using that process as late as 1976.

LOL, Well, I had figured it would be a matter of time until the dust settled and those who didn't mind the world knowing that they earned themselves a copy would want to talk about it.
I'm just a little hesitant for the sake of those that couldn't participate, don't want to make anyone feel excluded.
I'll say this, it'll be my favorite single episode for a long time to come. Well that's it  ;D

I was willing to contribute either way, but since bidding ended, is it still possible to do so?

I regret not, because the transaction is already completed for both the film reel and digitization, all for which was equally split. You'd now basically be paying cash for just a copy of the episode  :-\

I'll just say this.   There are two moments in the episode that I suspect would have made it a "censored" episode by Buzzr had the tape still existed.

Dang it, was planning on Emailing and forgot to do so. Donate to a charity? Is there any other episodes on eBay to go after?

I've been trying to figure out exactly what Paul Williams said that they blanked it out.
