1980's game show game for a laugh they did the 12 days of Christmas would anyone know how to get a copy of it

Answer 1

It depends on how much you want it and how much you are willing to pay for it.

Now, you could contact the network that it aired on to find out the production company that produced it. (Unless you know it already.) Once you know the production company, if they are still in business, you could contact them to see if they have copies of the shows in their archives. Then you would have to beg, plead, or maybe entice them in some way to run you a copy of it. Your best bet would be to speak to the post production coordinator. That person is high enough to know where to find it, but low enough to actually pay attention to you. ( A producer, for example, wouldn't even answer your call.) And truth be told, post production coordinators don't make a ton of money so you could probably pay them a little to do it.

Now, if you don't remember the network, or the production company doesn't exist anymore, or you can't get someone to respond to you, your next step would be to contact a business out in L.A. that specializes in footage of old TV shows. Everyday, all they do is tape every channel and store the footage to sell later. I don't know if they would have game shows from that far back, but they might. One thing though - you would pay dearly for it. I had to get some footage a few years ago for my work and it was a couple hundred dollars. I don't know what your cost would be.

I don't know the name of a particular business to try, or even what yellow pages header it may come under - possibly "TV footage" or "stock footage" - but you can try the LA 411 site. It is an information directory that specializes in TV production. The web address is www.la411.com

Good luck!
