Am looking for any copies of "The Silent Service" which aired between 1957 & 1959. Shows were U.S. Navy anthology shows of submarine service, in World War II.

We're not ignoring you, Buddy.
We're not ignoring you, Buddy. Just trying to get an answer. I think John Clear is selling them. I'll get back to you as soon as I can find out how and where to order them. There are about 20 segments, on 4 tapes, available, I think.

OK. Here's the "straight dope".

The last several episodes on each volume are very "grainy" in their appearance as they were taped from a live broadcast over 40 years ago from a low power UHF t.v. station to the receiving television equipped with "rabbit ears" - BUT - viewing them reminds us old guys of exactly how they looked when we viewed them "live" almost 50 years ago.
