Daytime TV shows that exist in full?

The soap operas The Doctors, Days of Our Lives and Dark Shadows come to mind.

I would think One Life to Live would be available since it "only" began in July 1968, though that was still in the era of "Who cares about saving this stuff?"

Exactly, even The Tonight Show through most of the 60's was not saved. Very few Johnny clips from '62 to about '72 exist.

There could possibly be some things on You Tube, but I'd think it would be extremely rare because of the combination of because of home VCRs not existing yet and the practice by the networks at that time of recording over tapes or destroying them. And there's also the problem of even if some copies exist somehow of the people who may have copies sitting on them and not allowing them to be seen, or not even knowing they exist and being in storage somewhere that hasn't been touched in decades, or has deteriorated to a point of not being usable any more, or in a format that equipment isn't available to play it.

Tomorrow

Not daytime, but Tom Snyder talked about how NBC was set to throw out episodes of his late-night show, Tomorrow, but David Letterman stepped in and prevented it.
