Archive, said in a statement to Buzzerblog, “We’re incredibly grateful to the National Archives of Game Show History for their generous offer of the footage in order to put Barbara’s games (and so many others going forward) into J! Archive. Currently, the videos of these episodes are not available for public viewing, and plans for what the museum will do with these episodes, or any other episodes in their collection, are still unknown.
