I love Kovacs, but $70 buys a lot of Dutch Masters. Here's a sample of the show:

Got this set for $35 on Amazon (part of that was discounted points I'd accumulated).     All of these episodes in the set are from surviving videotape masters.

I can report that one of the episodes in this set that previously was in circulation as a kinescope, the one where Mary Ann Mobley is the first contestant and Cesar Romero right away recognizes her as the previous year's Miss America, is missing a couple minutes on the videotape master used in this set.   The running time on the videotape is only 23 minutes and there are obvious jumps and edits probably due to tape damage while most episodes run at 26 minutes.
