I heard there were some (probably lost) clips from this show and from her husband Ernie Kovak's show. Two attractive blonde twins get pied in a blackout skit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKy-iH_xvVk
Yeah, tracking down all the Edie Adams pie clips was my mission years ago. They were on a site that stored and sold footage, and had a handful of pie clips. (Mostly male, mostly Soupy Sales.) If not for that site I'd have no idea the Edie Adams show even existed.
Then the show started streaming on Amazon and I was able to get all the clips in better quality. That said, there's only a few pie blackouts (all involving the twins) and they're SO short. It would've been awesome if they'd kept this running gag going for, say, 10+ episodes, but I think the show was cancelled pretty quick.
ANYWAY.... Just posted my compilation clip on YouTube....

We've managed to find a lot of the long lost pie items that used to be on Hurley's most wanted pie scenes list. Does anybody have a copy of Hurley's list so we can cross items off the list and continue searching for long lost vintage pie scenes.
I know we have searched for them in the past, but it is always a good idea to do a new search at least once a year because new vintage tv items keep showing up on Youtube every week,
Perhaps we can categorize the lost items into 2 categories....i.e. no hopers that are unlikely to ever be found (e.g. Funza Poppi, Steve Allen Show Playboy Bunnies, Esther Muir A Day at the Races) and items that are known to exist on film or tape and may someday show up on Youtube (e.g. Dr Strangelove pie fight, Debbie Reynolds pie scene on the Carol Burnett show).
As Sherlock Holmes said "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains ... "..... are items worth searching for.
I don't have Hurley's full list of lost pie scenes, but I noted a few of the items that he and Bob S. mentioned to me. These are confirmed vintage pie scene sightings that have so far never been found and could one day show up on Youtube. I have excluded scenes where there is no hope of finding them..

I hope I found something worthy of the Lost Clips hunt. I know I never saw this video before and I wouldn't have known what to look for if it wasn't for that list.

Solid find! Man I wish the aftermath was even a second longer.
Wow Messk1, great find. I hope Hurley sees this. I used to have close contact with him but have completely lost touch with him over the past 10 years..
I probably have several incarnations of his constantly evolving list of unfound pie scenes. I'll see if I can find them.
MK gives a good representation of what I also recall from the list. Amazingly, so many scenes have been found in the You Tube days, with Messk1 great find showing more hope for more finds.
I also remember someone saw Ann Margaret get hit with a pie on one of her specials, I think still in the late 1960s.
Also on the list, someone saw Agent 99 era Barbara Felden get pied on a variety show in a math class when someone says pi r square, and she proclaims that pies are round as she gets pied.
I'm old enough to see "Love That Bob" in the first syndication days and I honestly don't remember the episode.
The Amazon version of the Edie Adams show does have the cleverly done pie fight with Rowan and Martin and Ms Adams, which I saw first run. It's in a trailer for the show.

Just a heads up for those hunting this segment: Ms. Adams appears in the pie fight segment, but takes exactly zero pies. (Hence it didn't make my compilation.)
I do appreciate the fact that her recurring pie gag (granted, only recurred 3 times, but still) involved ladies. In that TV era (and beyond), a regular pie segment was almost always limited to guys. (See: Soupy Sales over and over, Masterpie Theater in the 70s with all male celebs but one...)
The one he wants is actually this one: CAPTAIN & TENNILLE SHOW, THE 1977 USA CHARO SEEK 3/7/77 SHOW WHERE CHARO GETS A PIE
The one you posted is from the Sonny & Cher Show. It's been circulating for well over a decade... In fact, it has WAMTEC's original copyright on the clip itself!! (Of course, that didn't prevent this account from stealing WAMTEC's clip and posting it as his own "find"... completely with Super Generic Title.)
That entry relating to Charo getting pied on The Captain and Tenille Show may be a false recollection or wrongly named show, but I copied that information from Hurley Coward and I have never known him to be factually wrong, because he was a stickler for accurate reporting. Having said that....nothing seems to jive with that information....i,e,
The airdate mentioned for that Captain and Tenille Show does not exist. As per IMBD the Captain and Tenille series had already ended 3 months prior to that date,
According to IMDB and Charo's IMDB record, she never even appeared on that series. If she was on that show, it must have been a different date and she was uncredited because IMDB has no data for it.
Complicating matters further, when they released the so called "Ultmate" DVD collection of the C&T series.....it was not "Ultimate" at all. That was blatant b/s....because they only released 11 episodes on the DVD Boxed set, while IMDB says that 20 epsiodes were made. So, 9 episodes have never been released so far....could that Charo scene be on those missing episodes - who knows.
I have had the feeling for many years that this Charo scene is a misreported myth, and what they were thinking of was the Charo pie scene on the Sonny and Cher show.
Charo is an enigma unto herself....the biggest myth being her real age....because today she still claims to have been born in 1951 while her original Spanish birth records say she was born in 1941. When reporters point out to her that if she was really born in 1951 then her marriage to Xavier Cugat in 1966 would have been illegal because she would have only been 15 years old if we are to believe she was born in 1951 as she now claims.
Anyway....if you check IMDB then there is no record of that show airdate and no record of Charo ever appearing on that show.....so I think we can debunk this one as an erroneous report.
I believe that Edie Adams also took a pie in the face on an old Don Adams show. It was called: Don Adams: Hooray for Hollywood...1970, I think. She was in a skit that was a spoof of Gone with the Wind. I think it was a decent hit, but I can't find it. The thrown pie actually knocked off her wig.
Charo was 100% on Captain and Tenille..I recall watching the scene and i have even located an image of her appearance hosting Masterjoke Theatre (the pie skit scenes). It seems this episode is owned by some kind of industry content agency.
Well...if 2 of you confirm having seen Charo on the C&T show then it must be true, and IMDB website is wrong because the resume of Charo does not list her as being on the show....so IMDB is wrong.
It is true that only 11 of the 20 episodes of that show have ever been released on DVD and 9 episodes have so far not been released on DVD.
Anette Funicello also pied on the C&T show, and that episode was left off the box set as well. Hopefully some collector finally drops all the shows on YT the way someone did with Donny & Marie and other male-pie-centric variety shows....

I certainly remember seeing it, and recalling it was a lame self hit. The crust didn't even break and she pulled it off her face to reveal very incidental coverage.
As pointed out above, a lot of formerly lost clips have been found thanks to the work of collectors and Youtube. What is frustrating to me is, when certain shows are not released on Youtube or otherwise. We know that Electric Company (or to remain on point) The Captain and Tennille Show episodes are somewhere -- some have already been released to the public (of course, mostly the ones wammers have been yearning to see). What is the problem with releasing them all? The film is just mouldering in some closet somewhere. They are never going to make you any more money. Nobody is watching it. Just release them to Youtube and throw in some commercials to pick up a few extra dollars. What is the harm?

In many cases the rightsholders may not have usable video elements and won't spend the money to create them unless they land a deal lucrative enough to pay for the transfers. More to the point, they know that anything they upload to Youtube will get pirated so much it would inhibit the potential for future profits. And of course everybody thinks their IP is worth more than pennies, even if it isn't.
Early boosters of streaming argued that the relative ease of delivery would lead to huge content libraries being accessible at the touch of a button, but of course the opposite has come to pass as subscription-based providers have learned they don't really need a deep selection. Now everyone's back catalog is worth substantially less than it was on physical media.

Good analysis. I just don't understand how anyone with any sense thinks that pirating is going to rob them of some income out there -- I doubt anyone but pie-in-the-face completists even know that a Charo episode of C&T even exists. Of course, if that is the case, why even go through the bother to put it out there for public consumption? Frustrating but understandable.
