===Episode status===
The team broadcast more than 5,000 shows, of which over 1,630 episodes exist today.  The archive is extensive between 1935 and 1948, a rarity for 15-minute shows that were typically never recorded (most of its contemporary daytime programs have fewer than 100 episodes remaining).  As with most old-time radio shows, very little pre-1935 content (in this case, two episodes) survive.  Only a handful of post-1948 programs and some of the 1953–54 revival have survived; most  recordings of those shows are believed to have been [[Lost television broadcast#Wiping|destroyed]].
