The Name of the Game (1968-71)
What a shame that this series doesn't stream/air somewhere. Come on, Universal!
This is the list of eps in a box set I found on Etsy. NB: one vendor included the pilot, another wanted an additional $15 for it. Same price for 53 eps: just under US$1/ep +shipping. Video/audio quality are really not good, but watchable if you're eager to see these again. (Seems this is only 52 eps + pilot. Maybe I missed one?)
Query to see the 24 missing eps (also detailed below):
