Source: Max Schmid
[Max 5-30-2018] During the time of the newspaper strike the show was reduced to 35 minutes to add extra news/sports, which may be why you think the shows are not complete. 12/12/62 Albert Farkus is complete on the DVD in 40:34 theme to end theme. Yes, the first line is correct, with full theme at top (unless someone added it later)

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
