All these years I've been looking for the DVDs I never thought to look out 
on YouTube. I'm glad I now have the complete set and can watch whenever I 
choose. In addition to the episode that got preempted, there were other 
episodes I missed, one of which was the one you linked to. I like how they 
got the perspective from all the principle players that were still alive 
including George Wallace. I had a VCR back in those days but it was such a 
pain to schedule a recording and as often as not I would mess it up.

It's a shame the program only lasted one year because it was so well done. 
Linda Elerbee tried to pitch it to PBS to continue it but was 
unsuccessful. I still remember ABC's pitch to get people to watch it. They 
quoted a TV critic who said, "Record Cosby, Watch Our World.".
