Lost Episodes

Somewhat related, but this thread got me thinking about an interview with Mary Tyler Moore and how they were actually taping the D.V.D show when JFK was killled. Anyone know what episode that might have been, and if it is available anywhere?

I have heard interviews with Dick Van Dyke and Rose Marie and both had said the same thing about getting the news about JFK right on the set.

I am 99% sure it was the show where their son Ritchie had a birthday party. It has aired in syndication as well as on CBS. I seem to recall when Nick@Nite was airing DVD even they mentioned that this show was filmed the day JFK was shot.
 
Re: Richie's birthday party:
That particular episode was the only one filmed without a studio audience. The cast felt that no one would be in the mood to laugh. That's why it has one of the series' rare "jump cuts" from one day to the next, and why Dick Van Dyke is able to perform a prerecorded musical number.

The Encore "Westerns Channel" showed the one-hour black-and-white Gunsmoke episodes un-cut and commercial-free a few years ago and I think the old CBN network showed some of them them back in the '80s. That first season of Mannix had Joseph Capanella as Mannix's boss but the only episodes in syndication were the one's where Mannix had his own agency.

The Gunsmoke episodes from 1961-1966 that aired on CBN in the 80's were aired out of order and they showed only about 50 or more episodes of that. One episode they would show Chester and then the next episode would be a Festus episode or a Quint episode and so on.

As for Mannix, they don't show the last season (1974-1975) at all in syndication except for in 2003 when TV Land aired an episode from that last season which featured John Ritter as a tribute to him after he died.
 
"Bored, She Hung Herself" is a 1970 episode of Hawaii Five-0 that only aired once in it's original airing on CBS. A Viewer hung them self afer watching the episode. After this CBS decided never to air the episode again. It has never been rerun in syndacation. More recently it caused a bit of conversary when CBS/Paramont Home Video chose not to put in on the Hawaii Five-0 season 2 DVD set.
 
The 1983 HBO Eddie Murphy comedy special "Raw". Full of 4 letter words and very graphic sexual joke so much so that at one point it even looked like Eddie Murphy himself as well as his audience were actually getting aroused by the telling of his own jokes.

Shortly after HBO aired the special even Eddie himself had admitted that he had went way too far and HBO never did show Eddie Murphy's Raw ever again though it is now available on DVD which is a bit of a surprise considering how family-friendly Eddie Murphy had become over the recent years.
 
When Nick at Nite/TV Land got the rights to "The Munsters", it never aired the episode "Herman's Peace Offensive", which showed Eddie getting harassed by a bully and Herman the victim of a practical joker. Nick/TV Land had no explanation why they never aired that episode.

I'm surprised they would have left it off the DVD set. But you're absolutely correct about it being omitted from the syndication package. The CBS Television Distribution website does not that this episode is unavailable in syndication, but does not explain why.

"Raw" was a theatrical release in 1987. His HBO special was called "Delirious" (I think).
 
I was always under the impression that "Hail to the Chief", the second-season opener of CAR 54 WHERE ARE YOU, had been withdrawn from syndication. In this episode, Muldoon (Fred Gwynne) gets a back attack of nerves when assigned to escort the JFK motorcade through downtown Manhattan. I was under the impression that this episode was yanked from the package after the Kennedy assassination.
However, I recently saw a syndication copy, in which several newsfilm shots of JFK were replaced with pictures of LBJ (also, the President's actual name is never mentioned, presumably so that the show would never "date"). Thus, it apparently was syndicated--but not in the Milwaukee area, nor was it part of the manifest when Nick at Nite ran the rest of the CAR 54 episodes back in the early 1990s.
 
There was also a time when WNEW Channel 5 in NYC in the late 1970's ran "The Partridge Family" would not run the first season episode "A Partridge by Any Other Name" where Danny thinks he's adopted.
 
The 1962-1964 episodes of The Danny Thomas Show are not seen in syndication because according to Wikipedia, Marjorie Lord owns these episodes. Don't know on how accurate that is though because I always thought that Danny Thomas owned ALL of the episodes of not only the 11 seasons of Make Room For Daddy/Danny Thomas Show but the 1970-1971 Make Room For Granddaddy too. When Danny Thomas died, did Marlo and her brothers and sister get the rights to the episodes?

...which reminds me, there was also an adoption-themed episode of You Can't Do That on Television that was pulled from repeats by Nickelodeon or CJOH (forget which end issued the edict)...
 
I think Wikipedia is wrong about the 1962-64 DANNY THOMAS episodes. Most of these were in syndication well into the 1990s. However, a handful of episodes from the 1962-63 season, in which Danny and Kathy (Marjorie) visit England and Europe (these were shot on location) were however removed from the package. Curiously, several episodes which referred to the overseas trip, and which focused on the Williamses' friends Charlie and Millie Halper--who were taking care of the Williams kids back in NYC--are in the package, but neither Sid Melton (Charlie) nor Pat Carroll (Millie) receive any screen credit (they were originally given "special" billing at the beginning of each episode in the network version).
