Hi..
I have the Sky King website at 'members.cox.net/skykingtv/skyking'..
I was looking at your episode list..I have talked with Gloria Winters
and she said that there were only 72 episodes shot.
I know that the other Sky King website mentions 136 episodes and the
loss in a fire but I really think that they were copies..not original
episodes. The episode guide that I have on my website is from the
"Television Westerns Episode Guide" by Harris M Lentz III.
The 72 episode set will be available on remastered DVDs shortly...
the set was done for Flying Crown Enterprises..Bill Campbell..the owner.
They will be available through 'skyking.com'..which is now just a
'dummy page' but will be redone and active when the set is available..
