Editing Kinescope

A '''kinescope''' is a device used to record the output of a television screen onto 16mm film. [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC-TV]] used kinescopes to create backup copies of episodes for the smaller-market stations who couldn't afford videotape recorders, or which broadcast the show at times other than the regular network airtime of 4:00pm ET/3:00pm CT (June 1966-April 1967), 3:30pm ET/2:30pm CT (April 1967-July 1968), and back to 4:00pm ET/3:00 CT (July 1968-April 1971) because they were broadcasting syndicated or local programming at that time. The kinescopes were recorded on 16mm black-and-white film, and continued to be used until the fall of 1970. 

Twenty-six [[Dark Shadows]] episodes exist only in kinescope format because the original videotape masters were lost over the years. These are episodes [[83]], [[120]], [[145]], [[149]], [[193]], [[194]], [[260]], [[296]], [[300]], [[318]], [[320]], [[323]], [[325]], [[335]], [[341]], [[344]], [[351]], [[352]], [[368/369]], [[437]], [[509]], [[683]], [[797]], [[813]], [[1006]], and [[1017]].  Three other episodes (211, 289 and 1219)  had similar situations. [[211|Episode 211]]'s original master was long-believed lost, but was recovered and released in 2008 in [[Dark Shadows The Beginning DVD Collection 6]]. [[289|Episode 289]] existed on videotape with Spanish audio only, the video from which has been set to English audio sourced from kinescope film. The DVD copy on [[Collection 2]] Disc 4, is completely kinescope. The Spanish dubbed videotape copy can be seen on DVD on "Dark Shadows: Special Edition" which can be bought as a standalone disc or in [[The Complete Original Series]] on disc 130. Out of all 1225 episodes of the original series, [[1219|Episode 1219]] is the only one that no longer exists on either kinescope film or videotape. A home audio recording of this episode was combined with still images to reconstruct the installment for VHS and DVD releases.
