So, I'm helping a good friend of mine who is trying to get her hands on a copy of the July 30th, 1968 episode of What's My Line. On this show, she modeled a Mini skirt bridal gown. Groovy! :D

Sadly, the show was pre-empted in the NY/NJ area by a baseball game. A friend of hers in another state did see it.

Now, 50 years later, she wants to see if her appearance has . . . wait for it . . . legs.

It appears that all episodes of the second iteration of What's My Line, started in syndication in 1968 through 1975, are owned by Fremantle, whatever the hell they are. I was told by someone in their LA office to email their archive dept., which they said is in England. I have done so, and also emailed Viacom, which also may own the copies.

We are on a mission from God!

Any help from the brave young lads of ATOT would be greatly appreciated.

I shall do my part, searching the web on mini skirt and legs until I find the target.

Does she have any clues about who was on the episode?

I found the episode from the week prior, so close.

Cliff Robertson was the main celebrity guest, something she found in her own search from, I think, IMDB.

You said you found the episode from the week prior. Do you mean you found the RECORDING?!? If so, link please.

darn...
Yeah -- "This show is currently unavailable" -- darn.

One of the problems is that while the original run of the show on CBS, from 1950 through 1967, seems more widely available, the second iteration of the show, from 1968-1975, was a syndicated version, with all of its episodes not as available.
