2. All comments are moderated before they are posted, therefore you will not see your comment right away. We try to post comments within 24 hours. Abusive and irrelevant comments will NOT be posted. SPAM comments will not be posted and will be reported. Please try to stay on the topic of the post.
3. We check all links in comments before we post them and reserve the right to post the comment without the link(s) if it violates our terms (e.g., linking to an illegal video download site).
4. Comments must be in English. The site is in English and we have no way of knowing whether the comment is spam or not.
The only items that are sold directly by this blog and its parent site are from The Vision Of Ernie Kovacs retrospect; we have the inventory and we ship it. We also offer "The Ernie Kovacs Collection" DVD set through our sites but we are not the shipper; the set is shipped to you directly from Shout Factory Video. You can buy this wonderful set with confidence and we fully endorse it.
Occasionally you will see video clips on the blog because they are relevant to a specific post or it is something very rare that hasn't been seen (either ever or since it first aired) and isn't readily available for purchase. What you will not see are endless streams of such classics as the "Nairobi Trio", "Percy Dovetonsils", the "Oscilloscope And Black-Out Gags" or other sketches which are posted on sites such as YouTube. The parties who post these clips do not have the right to do so. This material should be legally purchased so that the royalties go to the parties who own the rights.
This goes for audio too: recordings of novelty songs, music from the Kovacs shows and various EK sketches, some of which are available on CD or LP. We understand that sometimes these items are hard to find but we are not going to provide links to free downloads.
With that in mind please do not contact us asking for videos, DVDs or CDs. We will not post ANY links to file sharing sites which are sent to us nor will we respond to any emails regarding same.
We can offer the following: The Museum Of Broadcast Communications in Chicago has their archives listed online so you can view the list. Some of these listings have a digital file accompanying them for viewing and ⁄ or listening. Sign up is free and there are some very interesting EK files available to watch and listen to online. Our assumption is that a broadcast museum is not just putting up clips without permission which is why we're willing to list the link.
While they don't have online viewing, you can visit the Paley Center For Media in New York or Los Angeles to view shows in their massive collection. The link will take you to a listing of everything they have regarding Ernie Kovacs so that you can plan your visit; you're limited as to how much time you can spend in the museum library and how many shows you can view on your visit so you wouldn't want to spend all of it searching the database. Write down the catalog numbers and titles of the programs you wish to see, which will make finding them easy once you arrive. Contact the museum for more details.
If your question is about a specific post on the blog you can place a comment on that post and we will answer your question by posting a comment in return. We moderate all comments so you will not see yours posted immediately. Generally you can expect to see it, along with an answer, within 24 hours.
