I have the very first episode and have transferred it to DVD. But I was wondering if anybody else had any of the other shows. We can trade. I posted a clip of the first episode up on YouTube:

Okay TschicholdI'm going to quote many sources that say the show lasted more then one showingand validify my request for copies of the other shows. Just because you didn't see them doesn't mean they didn't exist.
Here you go:
In September 1993 he hosted a talk show, The Chevy Chase Show, for the FOX network. The show was cancelled by FOX after five weeks and remains one of the most notorious failures in the history of broadcast television. He later appeared in a Super Bowl Doritos commercial which made humorous reference to the show. The Chevy Chase Show is often referred to as "The Edsel of Television".

http://movies.zogbyblog.com/CelebrityBiography-94.htmlHow bad did things get during the 29-day reign of The Chevy Chase Show? So bad that the fish in the tank behind Chevy's desk were dying.
http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,308569_7|6703||0_0_,00.htmlIn 1993, the comedian starred in the FOX late-night talk show "The Chevy Chase Show," which was canceled after less than two months.
http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271|72559|1|,00.htmlone of the more public failures was "The Chevy Chase Show" in 1993. Actually, when I say 1993 it could imply a full year, when in actuality it only aired for five weeks before the network shut it down.
http://www.tvgasm.com/archives/miscellaneous_tv/001848.phpAre all of these sources making up stories about a show that only lasted one showingand oh yeathis show wasn't "episodic"so you can't really saw it lasted one "episode". It was a talk show.
Are you finally going to admit you are wrong or are you going to keep pretending you were right. The only way you can make yourself not look stupid is to prove that your local FOX affiliate pulled the show after one night. Can you?

I believe I have 2-3 episodes on tape somewheresome of the highlights:
His 4 "mime face" songs
Him doing a Weekend Update and the camera not going off and he was trying to leave the desk.
Mostly, the show was awkward for surebut I do remember those few good moments.
