[QuadList] QuadList Digest, Vol 75, Issue 4

[Kevin Segura]

Well, 23 minutes is pretty good-sized "short clip" of videotape, but 
when compared against the total that should have been saved, I suppose 
it **is** somewhat underwhelming.   :^)

It is bothersome to think that the network may not have retained **any** 
complete Paar "Tonight" shows (even as kines), though...
