What are good sources for copies of older TV programs? They are
usually VHS tapes made from kinescope versions. One I'm looking for
is "Ten From Your Show of Shows" - a 1973 compilation of classic Sid
Caeser show skits. I had a copy from the HBO airing years ago, but
it's been rendered unviewable. Ebay had one seller asking $40 - way
beyond my desire for the show. TIA.

Even new they are like $30, so if they are Out of Print and you find
one used, it will likely be higher than the original price.

Fry's actually has very good in-store selections, but they only list
one online, and it is cheaper than Amazon's. All are different though,
so if you do not have them there they are.

Thanks. The Sid Caesar Collection videos are available on DVD. In
fact, they are available from Netflix as well as in Public Library
collections. The one I'm looking for (Ten From Your Show of Shows)
appears to only be a VHS tape and does not show up for rental anywhere
that I've searched so far.

All ten of them may very well be included in those that are available.
So instead of releasing the VHS production again, they just released what
they did, because those shows are already in there somewhere. Perhaps.

Wish that were the case - but unfortunately, it's not. I've rented
the former DVDs previously, but the ten skits are not there.
