Is there any particular reasons the tapes for Mindreaders are missing, given that G-T was generally good at archiving?

After a show is broadcast, what happens to the tape?  I'm guessing it's held by the network for a period of time but is it at the network's discretion to decide what happens to it after that, or is it up to the producer to request it for their archives?

Maybe NBC figured G-T wouldn't want it because the show wasn't a success(?)

Although I would say that some markets bought into the curiosity factor initially.  I think of markets like Detroit and Philadelphia, which generally didn't clear whatever NBC offered at 10AM (although Philadelphia was clearing CS for a brief time in late 1979-1980, but not for most of the series), but did clear Dave at first but dumped it within a few months.

Drew Carey improved a lot once Roger and co. left and he found his groove in 2010. His first few seasons were awkward because it still felt like Bob's show and he was filling in.
