Insight on YouTube

Two days ago, I found quite a few complete Insight episodes on YouTube that had been uploaded earlier this year. The person who uploaded them gave us quite a variety which spanned the period from the early 70s through the early 80s. I was thrilled to find these, as I had almost given up hope of ever seeing some of these episodes again. Among the offerings were two of my favorites, "Watts Made of Thread" and "No Tears For Kelsey", which I haven't seen in decades.
"Happy Birthday Marvin" starring Bob Newhart was also there. I don't remember the titles of many of the others, some of which I had never seen before. I encourage all of you Insight fans on this message board to look up these episodes on YouTube, then come back on these boards and let's discuss them. I have enjoyed these discussions with you folks for all these years, and would love to have further discussions based on this newly rediscovered material.

Thank you. I suddenly remembered this show and the episode with Bob Newhart playing God. It really had an impact on me at the time. Thank you for alerting me on where to find a way to watch this show.

Hi - I can't say that I remember this series, although I don't know how I missed it since I'm the right age to have seen even the ones made in the late 60's. I found out about it from looking up Vera Miles' work. She appeared in four episodes.
Now, I'm very intrigued by this series and what people have said about it on IMDB and Youtube message boards. (Also intrigued that quite a few posts were "deleted by administrator"!) I just can't seem to find them on Youtube, Paulist, or Ebay. Any help would be appreciated. Exactly what do you type in?
Seems like in this day and age, with an audience for just about everything ever produced for tv, that so much is still not available. Gives you that queasy feeling that some great TV is just lost forever. ARRGGG.
Also intriguing is that IMDB lists Efram Zimbalist and Brian Keith as the regular stars of the show, and that it ran for 24 years!
Also interesting is that many describe it as a religious Twilight Zone, but that it was not heavy handed or preachy, but subtle, non-dogmatic, thought provoking and open-ended. This I gotta see!
Thanks in advance for any help.

When there are not enough regular stars of a show, IMDB will represent guest stars who had the most appearances on the show as stars of the show.

That is why you saw Efranm Zimbalist and Brian Keith pictured here on the Insight page.
