Many are sadly lost today.

Thanks for posting that useful information. Yes, IMDB is woefully lacking when it comes to listing which films aired during this series, although if you search for them by individual titles you can find them (at least the ones I looked for were there).

This show aired REALLY late during its original run, at least late for me, a kid who wasn't even in high school yet. I think it's airtime was supposed to be 1am, but that got pushed back sometimes if ABC had any specials or sporting events that made it run later. I could only catch most of these when they aired or repeated in the summertime when there was no school the next day and I was still too young to get a summer job. My recollections for the films of these I saw are hazy, I guess due to watching them past my usual bedtime and also because very few of them were ever repeated to take a second view (most were on videotape, too, weren't they? that killed a lot of rerun potential as individual films right there).

I don't know what it would take to get the rights for these to issue a box set of seasons or even just a compendium, but I would guess probably more effort is required than justifies profit-potential to go to the bother of doing so. Some of these did turn up on home media, and there are bootlegs floating around of other eps, too...I suppose those are the only recourse to collect as many as can be found.
