One thing I wonder about is whether international syndication in the early 70's included the last year of DS, unlike US syndicated airings. ABC wasn't making kinescopes of the show by the time they got to 1840 and 1841PT, but I wonder if actual tapes of those shows were provided to the international markets and whether they even aired the final year of the show in those countries. If so, one wonders if there's a remote possibility that a Spanish-language dubbed video tape for lost episode 1219 exists in the vaults of some TV station in Costa Rica, Paraguay, etc. I know it's highly unlikely, but kind of fun to imagine that the video for that episode exists out there, somewhere. Does anyone know if they aired those final episodes? Something tells me they didn't get those, but figured I'd put it out there in case anyone has any info on that.
