I am looking for videos (or DVDs or 16mm film or ANY way of viewing)
several of the "Once Upon a Classic" shows that aired in the late
1970s, hosted by Bill Bixby.

I am particularly interested in "The Prince and the Pauper" and "Robin Hood".

These shows don't seem to exist.  I've exhausted all my usual search
routes.  Can anyone find them for me?

"Once Upon a Classic" was produced by WQED, the public television
station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  WQED also produced "Mister
Rogers" "Wonderworks" and "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"

"Once Upon a Classic isn't listed in their video offerings
(http://www.wqed.org/genl/shop/index.shtml) but an email to
shop@wqed.org might give you the answer you are looking for.  I hope
this helps.

This brought me to a record in the Internet Movie Database.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0214361/

WQED is listed in the company credits.

I'll try them, but I think I already asked them a few years ago. I was
hoping perhaps for an original source in the UK, where I assume these
series were actually produced.
