NBC Children's Theatre was an American television anthology series that aired from 1963 to 1973. Many of the stories were derived from classic and contemporary children's literature. Bill Cosby, Johnny Carson, Hugh Downs, and Burl Ives were the narrators. Actors and actresses included Fran Allison, Geraldine Page, James Earl Jones, Tony Dow, Judy Carne, Tim Matheson, and Sterling Holloway. The show was nominated for four prime-time Emmys and won two Peabody Awards.

It would seem that all episodes are currently lost in that they are unavailable for public viewing for the most part. None of them have ever been released on home video, and no parts of the show can be found online.

Several of the episodes, however, are in the collection of The Paley Center for Media; Stuart Little, Hansel and Gretel, The Enormous Egg, Circus Town, All About Me, The Street of Flower Boxes, No Pets Allowed, Quillow and the Giant, and Super Plastic Elastic Goggles. These can be viewed by the public, but only at The Paley Center's locations in New York and Los Angeles.

Interestingly, an editorial search on Getty Images will bring up quite a few photos taken during the filming of several episodes. These show various cast members and parts of the sets.

A songbook[1] and a vinyl soundtrack[2] for Super Plastic Elastic Goggles were released around the time that episode originally aired in 1971. The soundtrack's songs were by The Goggles, a band featured in the TV special. Its members were Jessica Harper, Rod McBrien, David Spinoza, and Mark Lockhart. This soundtrack was re-released on CD in Korea by Big Pink Music in 2010.[3]
